We’re making 2 significant changes tonight. First off, we are announcing that we are adding new plot sizes. You can now create 30×30, 25×25, or 5×5 plots. These will give you more options and space to express your creativity. You can buy these new plots in the home marketplace, click here.
Additionally, we are introducing a new currency called Gold Bars. You can see where you can use Gold Bars around the site with its icon, . You can use Gold Bars to buy the new plots or you can convert them back into MiniBucks. We will be introducing more things that can be bought with Gold Bars soon. To start earning Gold Bars now, click here
We’ve recently updated our application to help make it a little easier to use. We’ve removed the MiniToy concept for the time being (although they will still show up in your MiniHome if you have placed them there). We’ve added an invite your friends page now where you can invite all of your friends to join you. You will get 1,000 MiniBucks for each friend that you invite and 3,000 MiniBucks for each invited friend who joins the application. This is a quick way to help make some more money.
Stay tuned as we continue to update and improve the application in these upcoming weeks.
This will be a very small update. We just added 3 more scenes for you to play around with: a Country Home, a Small Park, and a Wedding scene. These 3 new scenes are brought to you again by our very own Cierlo!
Please let us know if you have any requests in the comments below and we will take note for future scenes!
We have added a bunch of items from Sit4Less.com to the marketplace. Take a look at the collection of Sit4Less items. Now you have a place to add all sorts of chairs items to your homes. Check out what I did with My Home, I found a really cool office chair.
Also check out our poster items we have from ImageKind and HotMovieSale to put onto your walls!
We are pleased to announce the release of MyMiniLife’s interactive greeting cards! These cards are FREE (both in real money and in minibucks sense) to create and send to your friends and family! You can decorate cards just like you would a MiniHome and personalize it with gifts, music, photos and more!
Happy Valentines day everyone! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Thank you to everyone who entered the MyMiniLife Item Creation Contest. We love the items you’ve been creating! The special award homes will get 30,000 MiniBucks each and the judges prizes will be 15,000 MiniBucks each.

Thank you to everyone that has entered an item in the item creation contest! We’re anxiously looking forward to going through all the items and finding the most creative ones! We’ll have the results posted by the end of this weekend.
Has anyone noticed the new scenes that you can build yet?
One new thing that we’re trying out is the ability to create and decorate scenes on MyMiniLife. We want to help give some of the new members a chance to experiment with their creativity and build really nice looking MiniHomes without having to spend a lot of time. We’ve been working with the MyMiniLife community’s very own Cierlo to help bring these to you. As of right now, the only 2 scenes available are a soccer field and a pool party, but there will be more coming soon! Of course, you can always start from scratch too. If you have any requests for specific types of scenes, let us know in the comments below!
We also added a new auto-play feature which automatically plays through the videos, pictures, sticky notes, and interactions in your MiniHomes. You can start and stop the autoplay with the large Play / Pause button in the top left corner of the MiniHome. The auto-play gives you an easy way to see what’s in your MiniHome.
We’ve made some small improvements to MyMiniLife recently and we’ve added a few new features too. These changes are focused on you collecting and organizing your favorite things on MyMiniLife.
MiniHome Favorites & Item Wishlists
You can now add MiniHomes to a favorites list and keep track of it from your favorite MiniHomes page. You can use this as a way of tracking specific MiniHomes and how they are changing over time. You can also browse the most favorited items in the explore system.
You can also now add items to a wishlist so you can purchase them later. Your wishlist will also show up on your profile so your friends can gift the items that you want to you! You can start adding items to your wishlist from the marketplace now!
