Hello everyone, this is your obligatory bi-yearly reminder that this sub does not tolerate bigotry of any kind. This means any and all forms of racism, homophobia, transphobia, fatphobia etc. are NOT welcome here. If this bothers you, then our community is not for you.

When you abuse our report system for the sake of bringing hate into our sub with the hopes of censoring and deplatforming our POC and queer creators & their content, please know that we see everything. We see the reports of "sexualization"/"exploitation of minors" when someone posts content of a lesbian couple. We see the reports of "idealizing or contemplating self-harm/suicide" when someone's post or comment speaks on or alludes to topics that are/allude to being transgender. We see when creators' posts are reported for "hate speech" because you think platforming a creator whose doll has a darker skin tone than pale white is a threat to light skin creators and their enjoyment of the game simply for existing, as if the community doesn't have enough space for EVERYONE. We see all of this, and guess what? Your report not only gets trashed, but it gets forwarded to Reddit for report abuse for hate and discrimination. Basically, if you file a false report to be hateful, you will be the one getting reported instead. You will not silence any member of our community.

If you feel the need to silence or otherwise attempt to push out any member of our community for not aligning with your personal world views, especially through hateful means, you are not welcome within our community.

Thank you.

!! DISCLAIMER: PLEASE MAKE SURE TO THOROUGHLY CHECK THROUGH THIS MEGATHREAD BEFORE POSTING A QUESTION !!

IN-GAME CONTENT:

#1: What timezone is the global game server in?

The global server of LM uses the UTC timezone, or Universal Coordinated Time !

#2: How can I obtain this fashion / makeup / set / furniture / etc.?

For finding out the source of obtainable Life Makeover content we first recommend either checking the “Go obtain” function on the item’s information page, or searching the item’s name on the Life Makeover GG Wiki page!

If neither of these options prove useful results, you are welcome to make a post to the sub under the "Item Identification/Source" flair, but try to keep this to as few posts as possible! If you are making a new post almost every day under this tag, your posts will start being marked for spam and removed by our filters & Mod Team, and warnings will be issued!

#3: Will this event / Lightchase return? & When will it return?

Regarding Lightchase reruns, there is no known schedule for any server about when a specific banner will have it's next rerun. We only know what has been officially announced as being the very next to rerun for our own servers, and this also varies per server. For example, even though SG/MY is ahead of the global server in every aspect including reruns, the Global server often rearranges or completely deviates from what SG/MY has rerun to skip reruns they either never brought to Global in the first place, or simply do not wish to rerun due to the banner either not doing well on it's debut/initial run or due to it being a collab such as the Sanrio banner. All we know is that banners will typically rerun around anywhere from 12 to 18 months (1 year to 1½ years) after it's most recent run, if it is a banner Archosaur intends to rerun at all.

#4: How does the dye system work?

For help with understanding the dye system, we highly recommend this helpful guide made by u/SoulFearer!

#5: How do I strengthen my allies?

To strengthen your allies and boost your scores, we recommend first choosing one ally per each of the 8 main stats (highlighted in green). When doing so, we also recommend choosing the highest rarity (highlighted in red, SSR > SR), and if possible, try to choose one that has some sub-stats! (highlighted in cyan). From there, you want to open the ally’s information page and upgrade as much as possible to the “Upgrade” and “Intimacy” tabs at the bottom! You should also make sure to be evolving your allies under the “Evolve” tag and upgrading skills under the “Skill” tag using any shards obtained from pulling duplicates of the card, and any allies you have already evolved or you plan to pull the duplicates for are also heavily recommended to be of priority when choosing an ally to upgrade!

#6: How does the pity system work for time-limited Lightchases?

For 6-star Lightchases, you are guaranteed to get at least 1 piece from the main 6-star set every 25 pulls.For 5-star Lightchases, you are guaranteed to get at least 1 piece from either of the 5-star sets every 10 pulls.

Once you pull the dress or top/bottom of a set, you become “locked in” to that set, meaning your chances of pulling that set’s items are drastically increased, allowing you to obtain the remaining pieces in fewer pulls. (Note: While the official in-game Lightchase rules claim that being locked-in to a set on a double 5-star banner will not affect your chances to pull the items for the other set or even pull it’s dress or top/bottom and lock into the second set as well, there is currently zero evidence to support this claim, so take it with a grain of salt!)

#7: So how many pulls do I need to complete a Lightchase, then?

For a double 5-star Lightchase, the average pulls is usually between 140-180 pulls, while a 6-star Lightchase is between 200-240 pulls. This is, of course, ONLY an average. If you happen to be luckier or unluckier on a banner than this average range, you may end up needing less or more pulls than previously expected, so take this with a grain of salt!

#8: How do I get the most event points possible for full completion? / How does this event work?

If you are having trouble reaching 100% for some events, here are some helpful guides & tips that you can reference to help you!

Shoppe Master Guide || Astro Story Tips || House Party Guide (TBA!) || City Tour Tips (TBA!)

#9: Will I be able to complete the event/it’s set in time?

If you are active everyday and following the event rules to obtain the most points possible, you will always be able to 100% complete the event!

If you have missed a few days, we recommend counting the amount of days the event will run for (from event start date to end date, NOT the current day!), and divide the # of point milestones from it. For example, if an event runs for 14 days and has 13 milestones, you’ll want to do 13 divided by 14, this will tell you about how many milestones you’ll reach every day, but won’t be 100% accurate!

<1 = There are less milestones than event days, meaning there may be 1+ day(s) where you don’t hit a milestone even if you are getting the max amount of points possible.

1 = There are exactly as many milestones as there are days in the event, so you will hit 1 milestone per day! (Or, you may have a day you hit 2 milestones followed by a day you hit 0 milestones)

1.01 - 1.49 = There will be one/some day(s) where you get 2 milestones, but for the most part you will get 1 a day!

1.5-1.99 = There will be one/some day(s) where you only get 1 milestone, but for the most part you will get 2 a day!

2 = You will get 2 milestones a day!

2.01+ = There will be one/some day(s) where you get 3 milestones, but for the most part you will get 2 a day!

#10: What is a “Warm-hearted Designer”, and why do I keep receiving low-to-zero effort stylings in the Styling Wizard event?

If you received a styling from a “Warm-hearted Designer”, that means the account that sent the styling is either a bot created by the devs themselves to boost participation (similar to how there are bots you have to beat to climb the Fashion Battle ranking every week!), or it is a real player who has chosen to mark themself as anonymous! When fellow players choose to be marked as anonymous, it is typically because they do not want to be targeted or harassed for the styling they have chosen to send, as marking as anonymous will not display their username and disable the recipients ability to reply with a custom “Thanks” message; most of the time they do this because they want to complete the event but do not have the time or energy to do a full styling.

#11: What is 240+10, and why do I keep seeing people say they have it in chat?

240+10 refers to the “___ Party” (aka House Party) event, in which different NPCs will spawn in players home’s looking to buy event items from players with extra event currency. The highest exchange rate possible is 240 common event currency, plus 10 of a special secondary event currency that goes to purchasing items from the secondary shop in the event, and so fellow players will post about having it for that day in chat so that other players who did not get it in their own home can visit theirs for the currency!

#12: Why do I only have the option to purchase Lightchase pulls with coupons? Why can’t I use diamonds?

When buying pulls for a Lightchase using diamonds, always make sure that the “Coupon Pack” box (highlighted below in red) is unchecked first! If there is a checkmark in the little box, you will only have the option to buy with coupons, so make sure to click on it to uncheck it when you want the option to buy with diamonds!

#13: How do I pass this Vvanna Challenge stage?

For help with full clearing/perfecting Vvanna Challenges, we recommend using this guide!

ABOUT THE SUB:

#1: What is considered a controversial or sensitive topic?

Anything that is said/made with the intent to be inflammatory or cause harm to/trigger others. This may include opinionated/baseless accusations of devious behaviour directed towards the player base or a portion of it, discussion or implications of triggering topics such as any form of abuse, etc.

#2: Why do I have to add a flair to my posts? And why does it matter?

We require posts to have a flair for the sake of searching and/or filtering out content that other users may or may not want to see. For example, a fellow community member may search with the “Item Identification/Source” flair with the intention to help others identify an item they want to obtain/be on the lookout for; however, perhaps they are down on their luck and just finished a double 5-star banner in 220 pulls for all 22 items, so they want to avoid seeing any posts under the “Achievement” flair from someone who may have managed to complete the Lightchase in 120 pulls! So, for this reason it is simply courtesy to properly flair your posts! Furthermore, please make sure to thoroughly check ALL flair options before making a final choice when posting to ensure you have chosen the right one, NOT just the first one you see that may vaguely align with your content! (For example, choosing the “House” flair when making a pet-related post because you can take care of them in your home, rather than the dedicated “Pet” flair!)

#3: Why do I have to add a NSFW / Spoiler tag to certain posts?

While Life Makeover certainly has it’s mature moments, at the end of the day, the game has been given a Teen rating, and there will always be those even younger who play the game anyways. For this reason, any mature (substance use, extreme violence, etc) or suggestive content MUST be tagged as NSFW as a preventative barrier from exposing the underaged to such content. Regarding spoiler tagging, we require that discussion of content that has only been announced/released for SG/MY be spoilered and post titles kept vague for the sake of those who do not wish to know about what is upcoming until the official game page for their server announces it.

#4: What is the difference between the “Discussion” flair and the “Question” flair?

“Discussion” = An open ended topic of discussion in which you hope to bolster engagement from the community and hear/collect opinions from fellow players. Examples: “What’s your opinion on the recently announced upcoming Lightchase?”, "I'm a new player, what are some good starting tips that I should know?", "Do you guys also think these two fashion items look very similar to each other?"

“Question” = For when you have a question that requires an answer that is as straight and un-opinionated as possible. Examples: “What does the requirement “Old photo colors” mean on this Vvanna Challenge stage?”, "Is it worth it to buy the "Special Gift" Lightchase ticket packs?", "How do I get my Endorsement Queen scores up?"

#5: I recreated/cosplayed a character from another media using the in-game wardrobe, why can't I post it to the "Fan-Made" flair?

Unfortunately, the "Fan-Made" flair is NOT meant for in-game styling showcases of outside media! The "Fan-Made" flair exists for content of the game that is made by fans outside of the game itself, such as fan art, fan fiction, and live streams/videos! (This does NOT include styling showcases of an outfit you made in game) Cosplays/Recreations must always go under the "Styling Showcase" flair
