Feature → the move to make in Mii Maker
- Hair
His defining feature: a rounded, tightly-curled brown perm — pick the curliest mid-brown style your editor has and keep it full and rounded.
- Beard
A full, neat brown beard frames the face — choose a full beard in the same brown as the hair.
- Expression
A soft, warm, slightly tired-eyed smile — use a gentle happy expression, nothing wide or toothy.
- Wardrobe
He painted in plain casual shirts, often a light blue button-up with rolled sleeves — set a light-blue colour theme.
Bob Ross Mii on your island
A Buddy Bob Ross is exactly the calming presence you'd hope for — Buddies are gentle, low-key residents who smooth over an island's drama rather than start it. On an island of up to 70 he's the one defusing squabbles and quietly content. Don't expect to arrange his friendships, though: Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream grows bonds and crushes from proximity, dating preferences and birthday/zodiac compatibility, never from personality — so even your most agreeable resident makes his own connections.
Did you know? — Bob Ross Mii
Ross's trademark perm started as a cost-cutting measure to avoid regular haircuts; he later confessed he disliked it but kept it because it was already part of the show's logo.
Before television he served 20 years in the U.S. Air Force, reaching master sergeant — and decided that when he left he would never raise his voice again, which shaped his famously calm on-screen manner.
He painted an estimated 30,000 paintings in his lifetime, and made multiple versions of nearly every painting featured on the show.
Bob Ross Mii — FAQ
How do I get Bob Ross's curly hair on a Mii?
Pick the curliest, most rounded brown hairstyle your version of Mii Maker offers and keep it full. The signature perm is the single most recognisable thing about him, so it's worth scrolling the hair list for the bushiest curly option.
Do I need the beard?
Yes — the full brown beard is half the likeness. Add a full beard in the same brown as the hair; without it the curly perm alone reads as generic, but together they're unmistakably Bob.
What personality fits a Bob Ross Mii?
Buddy fits best — set Speech and Movement low with Thinking and Energy in the middle in the personality panel above. It matches his soft-spoken, reassuring, everyone's-friend demeanour.
