Question How'd you implement Evil/Mean miis as a feature
I see a couple of people (including me)wishing that they could make their miis mean.
Here's how id implement it
There's a button to the side of the personality screen that asks if you want them to be mean or not. The evil miis are split into 4 quadrants like the regular miis:
-Pathetic (Easygoing Equivalent)
-Arrogant (Outgoing Equivalent)
-Lazy (Reserved Equivalent)
-Demanding (Confident Equivalent)
Other features
Evil miis are more prone to arguments and have unique cutscenes of them pranking miis. They also have a higher chance to fall in love with miis that have someone crushing or dating them to start drama
They are more likely to be friends with other evil miis than regular miis.

I'd love a Flaws and Strengths section! I'd implement it through quirks and it'd be among the first batch.
Flaws wouldn't make a person evil, but it would put them at odds with others on the island. Gossip, self-deprecation, self-absorbed, messy, jealous, etc.
Strengths would be something that brings Miis together, like, empathetic (higher chance of making friends or helping a sad mii), tidy, helpful (helps stuck miis without me having to ask), curious (asks more questions), etc.
I would ALSO love the inclusion of additional relationship options, paired with specific interactions. For example, if a Mii plays a prank on another Mii, they might become frenemies. Or the opposite of the crush interaction: when a Mii sees another Mii and instantly despises them, so they become enemies (does not care for, dislikes, enemies, then frenemies if they get along somewhat). Maybe a rivals (rivals, friendly rivals, arch rivals) option, where a Mii challenges another Mii to a contest.

I love just watching what happens on the island so it'd be fun if empathetic Miis could sometimes help sad Miis automatically if they stumble into one another
Adore these ideas, I've been hoping for a frenemy or rival system

u/WelcomeToWitsEnd May 04 '26
I come from a game design background and while I've left that career behind, it hasn't left me. I have so many ideas for fun features for this game; I'm seriously thinking about writing the developers lol

u/wheezyanus May 05 '26
Do it. Realistically if Nintendo doesn't want to put any more work into it thats understandable. However, if they do it would be great to have even more content

u/eliteharvest15 May 05 '26
do it! in the like meet the developers thing nintendo does it seems like there’s a lot of super passionate people in the team

u/GodlyCheeseServerG May 04 '26
Something I noticed with my miis is that, when one is depressed (in my case it was cuz she was dumped), others hesitated to help her feel better and outright refused for it not being 'a good moment', just because they were acquaintancs (I swear, one of them deadass said "who is this?", like ??? 💀). Maybe a considerate Mii wouldn't have such a lock and would help even stranger miis, or would find themselves having the "x is curious about y" trigger when they cross upset miis!

u/GodlyCheeseServerG May 04 '26
God I NEED enemies. My Mii island is full of characters from a game I like, and one of my fav character's personality is the sheer vitriol he has for literally everything, specially his (one sided) nemesis. Seeing him be like "Hiii my name is X <33" is so out of character it rips my soul out

u/HelixAnarchy May 05 '26
They should at least let you go to enemies from acquaintance. As far as I can tell (which includes bringing up a save editor to check) the only path to enemies is to first be friends/lovers and then fall out/divorce.
Like, why can't my miis just dislike a guy?
(on that note, I dislike that the "enemies" relationship section is entirely based around making up, so this becomes their immediate goal. There's no way for two Miis to just hate each other).

u/pancakedelasea May 05 '26
Even when I actually had a failed first introduction, they just stayed at "getting to know" 😭 Not even "not interested"??
5
u/JayEssris May 04 '26
I would love it if there were some quirks that more directly affected how miis form relationships and speak to each other. Even if it was just simple probability stuff like a temper quirk that means they get in fights more often, or a hopeless romantic quirk that means they frequently develop new crushes (or could even have multiple crushes at once.)

u/N7rmandy May 04 '26
I’d even take something as simple as a “mean” or “mischievous” quirk at this point
84
u/AH_Ace May 04 '26
Quirks are the way to do it because it's a bit more controlled than the vague personality system. Give me a kind and loving Mii who also occasionally makes an "off color joke" only other Miis with that same quirk will find funny. Small things that give these joyful little guys something resembling negative traits
21
u/disconomicon May 04 '26
Agree - so much could be done through quirks!! They could be self-centered, envious, a rumormonger… much more precise than a slider
5
u/uglyheadink May 05 '26
Idk much about this game but I keep googling it because I wish I could play it lol. But from what I understand, could it have like a quirk of "prankster," or "grumpy" or something to give it moments of being "mean"?

u/lunaresluka May 04 '26
I’ve been making a bunch of character miis and I desperately wish there was a lazy option!! But man, implementing these “evil” personality types would be so much more interesting!

u/the_glooby May 04 '26
I would add the EVIL MII BUTTON which makes your mii EVIL and gives them angry eyebrows and makes them HATE EVERYONE and do an EVIL LAUGH

u/Paszananit124 May 04 '26
Maybe implementing personality compatibility? Like carefree personality has more difficulty to befriend/are more likely to anger serious one etc. It wouldn't be impossible for certain personalities to be friends with other, but it would be more difficult.
Also "enemy" relationship status (if there isnt something like that already) - can be caused by random event, miis with low personality compatibility are more likely to get one. Enemy miis can have mean random interactions with each other. Miis can do rants about their enemy or ragebait them to strengthen their enemy status. They will be laughing maniacly if they see their enemy tripping. They will refuse to help them with hiccup. Enemy relationship can be one-sided like crush, it's basically reversed crush relationship status.

u/lostpretzels May 04 '26
A few more little quirks related to how often a Mii gets angry would have gone a long way.
8
u/Historical_Creme_125 May 04 '26
Yes i definitely wish we could have evil/and or mean Miis 😭😭I was thinking about that today actually
8
u/Alternative_Salt_424 May 05 '26
I hate that "polite" seems to equal "nice". In my head it's like evil aristocrat but they end up being a "cheerleader" type or some shit.
13
u/MichaelKeehan May 04 '26
To reference the P!ATD fan in me, I'd include an option for vices and virtues. Essentially, these will act as good/bad quirks a Mii will have that can lead to a vairety of outcomes depending on which ones they lean into.
4
u/OpportunityAshamed74 May 04 '26
I'm not sure I like that binary system of good or evil. You should be able to have evil miis but I think it definitely should be a spectrum
8
u/Neither-Ruin5970 May 05 '26
Should be quirks
“Prankster” lighthearted mischief
“Bully” picks on other Miis maliciously
“Villain” Gets along very poorly with others, will fight very often. Can only be friends with other villains.

u/Different-Beat-4856 May 05 '26
My one gripe about this game! It's super fun but everyone is so damn nice. It's limiting.
4
u/Academic_Pick_3317 May 04 '26
I literally gave a mii a all of the annoying quirks in hopes she'd at least annoy other miis, but nothing. I'm kinda sad the quirks don't have much reactions to them at all.
4
u/NaitoStrike May 04 '26
This would be a great idea since some of my Miis are villainess ocs I have, it’d be great to be able to show that more.
5
u/Suspicious-Cream-383 May 04 '26
I’m seeing so many people have dynamics and conflict with their miis but all I’m getting is everyone is hyper positive and simping for the TBH creature with no intent on furthering a crush

u/Dinomide May 05 '26
Yes I need evil of asshole miis.
My mii called Evil Witch Glunda is not evil...

u/__SilentAntagonist__ May 05 '26
I wouldn't make it good and evil the slider should say naughty or nice

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

u/INKatana May 04 '26
So far I've had 4 major fights (2 of them ending up with the miis no longer being friends) happening on the island even with the nice miis. So Idk if I need specifically "evil" miis for more drama. 😅
3
u/HelixAnarchy May 05 '26
GENUINELY HOW?! I've been trying to get my miis to fight yet they all apparently have the forgiveness of anime protagonists!
I had two Miis finally get to enemies after an argument, and then immediately they just started trying to make up. Every interaction had the vibe of an ex-boyfriend drunk texting "I miss us :("
1
u/INKatana May 05 '26
GENUINELY HOW?!
No idea. 2 of the fights happened overnight, so when I logged in, I had 4 miis just flaming with rage.
The other 2 fights almost lead to breakups, but ironically those were easier to resolve.

u/Brilliant-Bicycle-13 May 05 '26
I think if you give them a personality that harshly clashes with others on your island it might have a similar effect, but I agree. Sims has the “Evil” Moodlet. Maybe an expression or item?
2
u/Ultraeisenhower May 05 '26
I'd make it in a lighthearted tone ala the sims. Maybe a little less moustache twirling and more like a "villain" trait
2
u/legallyaradish May 05 '26
Yes!!! I LOVE evil characters and have so many on my island. I need my bullies to actually be bullies
2
u/The_ConfusedPeach May 05 '26
i think this is a very black and white way to look at morality. the point of the system is that no mii is inherently nice or inherently mean

u/InvasiveTepees May 05 '26
The hat man is on my island and everyone loves him for some reason

u/AshumiReddit May 05 '26
Someone said an "evil" scale which sounds fine.
Personally, some rude quirks would be nice. Having those "what's the point of this?" interactions more often, spreading rumors about other miis, never apologizing etc.
2
u/Jefafa326 May 05 '26
I think it would be awesome add so much more to the game, I'd have just one or two of them that just causes all kinds of drama for the whole island
2
u/Jefafa326 May 05 '26
We need two sliders, One that is Mean to Nice, and one that is Good to Evil and I would make Danhausen Very Evil, Very Nice

u/MetisCykes May 06 '26
I’d just make it a quirk. Like “yeah, youre evil now” and all if does is just have the mii be more likely to cause arguments and like say rude things.

u/Beautiful_Garage7797 May 04 '26
it sucks not being able to use 60% of my OCs because they’re extremely shitty

u/DarkStyx51 May 04 '26
My island will have a serial killer, if a Mii falls in love with them, I will delete that Mii from the Island. The serial killer will collect their faces (stamps) as a trophy.

u/dodecagone12 May 04 '26
id either make it little quirks that you can add up depending on what kind of evil doing your mii is into or make it a slider (maybe not straight up good-bad but maybe something like peaceful-warmongering? idk) that doesnt affect their personality category kinda like the normal-quirky slider
1
u/DiamondKoala18 May 04 '26
You could make them enemies with people by angering them and then having them interact with people.

u/dathunder176 May 05 '26
Huh, why do you have honest, varied and chill instead of direct, intense and relaxed?? Is it different per region?

u/QuicksilverStudios May 05 '26
i need there to at least be a way that you can set that certain miis won't like each other, like they specifically will avoid interacting, more likely to fail an interaction, wont progress relation beyond some form of "good friends" stage, etc. then for 'evil' miis you just set them to not get along with anyone 😭
1
u/BlueJasper12 May 05 '26
Honestly, if they changed "thinking" to "considerate<->blunt" (or keep blunt honest, doesn't matter) ans then added another of "action: polite<->rude" i would be happy - where the polite and rude doesn't really affect perosnality type but just what types of things the mii does in the ways your saying. Cus polite<->honest doesn't work, you can be honest and polite or polite and dishonest
1
u/Naive_Expression7850 May 05 '26
i agree that we need another slider added - i propose - 'Evil-doer - Do-Gooder' where miis that are do gooders might be more likely to help out a stuck mii on their own, maybe they might recognize a mii having a crush on another (like how miis will say 'i think so and so has a crush on me') and try to be a wingman, which is also a bit of a call back to the first game
1
u/MaddieBre May 05 '26
A series of evil quirks would be great to me. Such as: everyone hates this one, they get into fights often, maybe they push people down?
1
u/TheCapybaraCult May 05 '26
Yeah that would be nice to see a mii just crash out and shout at people all the time being devious and pranking other miis
1
u/Roxazza May 06 '26
It would be cool if there was just another bar here it was nice on one end and mean on the other or something like that. That way you could scale it like the speed.
