First build

Tomodachi Life Info beginner guide

Start with Living the Dream features, personality types, local wireless, relationships, food, or the separate Nintendo 3DS QR and service-status guides.

First island pass

Use a short setup loop.

1
Pick the island tone

Decide whether your island is friends, celebrities, fictional chaos, or original Miis.

2
Create a balanced roster

Mix calm, loud, romantic, odd, and rival characters so scenes do not all feel the same.

3
Record early reactions

Track foods, clothes, rooms, friendships, conflicts, and quotes from the first sessions.

4
Separate game versions

Mark whether each note came from 3DS Tomodachi Life or Living the Dream.
