Import with a roster plan
A good island has contrast. Mix friends, fictional characters, celebrities, original Miis, and a few wildcard personalities instead of importing every funny code you see.
- Record the source, character name, intended personality, and island role.
- Credit fan-made QR sources when linking out.
- Avoid hosting copyrighted character images unless you have rights.
Build a useful QR library
The best QR page is a curated index with categories, source links, quality notes, and warnings for old 3DS-only codes or missing creator credit.
QR import checklist
A QR page is useful when it prevents messy imports. Treat every code as an item in a roster database, not just an image.
- Record character name, creator, source URL, game/version context, and date collected.
- Mark whether the Mii is original, celebrity, fictional, friend/family, or theme roster.
- Add intended personality, island role, and whether you edited the imported Mii.
- Flag missing credit, broken images, region uncertainty, or old 3DS-only assumptions.
How to organize QR categories
Borrow the wiki-style category idea, but make it useful for importing decisions. Players need to know why a Mii belongs on the island.
- Starter cast: 8 to 12 Miis that give the island social contrast.
- Fictional characters: grouped by series, with spoiler-sensitive names avoided where needed.
- Celebrities and public figures: avoid implying endorsement and avoid unlicensed images.
- Original Miis: group by role, personality, and visual theme.
- Source-needed queue: codes that should not be promoted until credit is found.
QR troubleshooting
QR problems usually come from source quality, game-version mismatch, missing credit, or unclear ownership.
- Problem: the QR image is too blurry. Fix: find the original source or do not list it as reliable.
- Problem: the imported Mii does not fit the island. Fix: change role, personality, or remove it from the starter cast.
- Problem: creator credit is missing. Fix: place it in a review queue instead of presenting it as curated.
- Problem: the code is from old 3DS context. Fix: label it legacy until Living the Dream import behavior is checked.
Quick answers
Questions players ask before following this page.
Will this site host QR code images?
The launch version focuses on planning and source links. User-submitted QR images should wait for moderation and rights checks.
What makes a QR code worth importing?
Import Miis that add a clear island role: a close friend, a rival, a comedian, a famous face, or a wildcard who can create unexpected scenes.
Should this site publish every QR image it finds?
No. A useful QR page should curate, credit, and verify sources. Uncredited or low-quality codes should stay in a review queue.
