As a kid I put my crush as spouse and idk if this happens to everyone but I SWEAR every mii labeled as spouse is going to get rejected or reject your mii no matter WHAT.
Each version of Tomodachi Life has EXTREME region differences. This affects items, dialogue, NPCs, events, dreams, voice quality and accent, clothes, random Mii activities, and SO much more. This is why multiple modes of the save editor are needed for each region.
today i learnt 2 things, first thing is how to edit my save, second thing is that the best tomodachi life youtuber is a blue star that look like peridot (thanks u saved my life)
despite having already known the save editor for probably years now, this got on my home page, i got curious n wanted to see how you'd go about explaining this. good video btw! fun n easy to understand.. also you look cool!
@@novelnygma sorry, I thought it was pretty straightforward! You just type in the number of items you want and hit save! You can overwrite the 99 items you have by setting it to 0 or 1!
yeah this video is great! i used this to give myself a bunch of hair colour sprays. for anyone else who only wants to tweak an item value or two: - set all of the numbers for the options on the "Items edit" tab to 0 - click the blue "..." bubble on Goods items - the items should show as how much you actually have on the save. just tweak the values for the items you want tweaking - hit the checkmark in the bottom right and back out - hit save there might be a more elegant way to do it, but that's what i just did and it went totally fine. wanted to share since it's kind of an overwhelming page when it's your first time doing it. thankfully you'll have a backup so don't worry about messing up :-] thanks again creator for the vid
Thank you for the tutorial! I've been trying to 100% tomodachi life but me forcing streetpass encounters with another 3ds got very boring. This really helped me get past the streetpass items/special foods part (I'm still going to get everything else legitimately).
One of the best videos explaining the topic! It was like the stars alligned. Right as I begin using my hacked 3DS, boom, new and uploaded video, with great retention! I love the pacing of the video, keep it up!!
THANK YOU this is such a perfectly timed video i JUST got back into tomodachi life!! I’m tryna get my mii and my girlfriend’s mii to fall in love but its taken FOREVER. thank you!!
ahhh tysm! i was already planning on having a friend help me mod my 3ds, and was looking into this because while i played today i forgot to save for a whole hour and lost SO MUCH PROGRESS. i just want my stuff back 😭 not even gonna do anything extreme other than force some miis to have friends becuse they simply REFUSE to meet anyone new
8:55 id like to add that you can use ftpd instead of turning off the console and taking out the sd card download winscp on your computer and you can just edit files through a server for older 3ds its not rlly an issue but i have a new 3ds and having to screw the bottom plate everytime i want to change something would be so annoying without it
Important info: It DOES work with the Japanese version. You just cant automatically select it. You have to actually own it (or have it on citra) for it to work.
Oh man I got so scared cuz I totally corrupted my save the first time I tried this lmao It's fine, I made extra backups though. Anyways I wanted to ask... I uploaded my data into the editor for the first time and it worked fine but then when I went to reload the data back into the editor for some reason my data won't load. It's on the same version you use too, and I even downloaded a second editor but still nothing. Please help and I thought I'd reach out since you're the master ;-;
This has been the first actually helpful guide I've seen work for me! I had a bunch of other later versions downloaded, but none of them could even read my save file. It only worked after downloading the exact version you had. Do you have any suggestions for what version of the Miitopia save editor I should use for my Miitopia save?
This is the best video I've found about the Tomodachi life save editor. I will consider giving it a try. :) Your character looks so unique! Does a ref sheet exist for this character? I really want to draw that character now 👀
OMG THANK YOUUUU!!!! I'm working on a ref sheet as much as I can but I'm a very slow artist and I'm SO backed up with uni work rn. I'll post the sheet as SOON as its done i promise
@@HeroFourever Hello Four, don't worry. I know the pressure of exams and work so I'm fine with the ref taking long. Take much time and good luck obviously for Uni!! I tried using the editor and it worked really well!! Unfortunately, when I tried to use it the second time, the editor didn't show my copy. So as much as I tried to insert my back up into the editor, it didn't work sadly 😔 is there any limits to the editor? My file is fine, it's not corrupted. Just the editor not showing my save file ^_^"
@@BESIDJU666 There is no limit to the editor, you have to back up your save right before you edit it though, did you do that? And make sure your save is in the right folder when you open it, and that you pick the right region.
Do you know how to do this with citra? I've been trying to save a relationship with travel tickets and I can NEVER get any, if not do you have any tips on raising chances for stuff like that?
I don't know much about citra but you can definitely use the editor if you can access your save data. Sadly there isn't a way to increase the odds of getting items.
@@HeroFoureverOn the topic of item odds, do you know if items have set probabilities of showing up after you play with a Mii? For example, the gold ingot I’ve noticed shows up once in a blue moon, but the hotel toiletries show up almost every time on my save file. It doesn’t change anything because as you said the odds can’t be changed, but still curious regardless
@@Ahhahahahaha_urmum a bit late, but if you're using citra on pc you can access your save by right clicking on the game in the menu and choosing 'open save data location'!
might be a stupid question but when i click save (it says file saved) and put my sd card back in nothing happens even after restoring? (as in no changes seem to have taken effect/file seems to have not been replaced)
HII! ik this is kind of a dumb question but i dont understand what you did in the last part, when you put the edited save on tomodachi life using ceckpoint. when i press the right shoulder button it doenst do anything ? can you please re-explain what you did ?? BTW your persona/oc is so cool!!
@@Pinku-no-hoshi No worries! So in checkpoint you select the game you want the save files of, then you press “A” on the game. Then to extract the save data you press either the extract button or the left shoulder button, and to restore the save data after you edited it you press restore or the right shoulder button!
which items? inventory stuff is in its own tab and you just click the icon to make it orange and then set how many you want. do not unlock locations it will break things
Question, what do i do if i dont have checkpoint? I got a 3ds recently that was pre-modded and i dont know if i should just restart from the beginning?? I just dont want to lose my save files 😭😭😭
im trying to make two specific miis fall in love but the save editor is saying stuff like "You must select a 'friend' mii" and "Must don't have a special someone" any tips?
oh those are just warnings, the editor can't tell if you've picked the right mii, it'll always say that! the editor was originally french so its english is a bit broken, just make sure the 2 miis are friends but arent dating
i'm not exactly sure what you mean, but i'm guessing that youve not followed the steps correctly in checkpoint. first you back up your tomodachi life save data. then you load that data into the save editor after you've edited your save, you save it to your sd card in the same spot the original data was. then you go back into checkpoint and restore the new data into your tomodachi cartridge. and if theres a corruption then restore the backup that the save editor made.
I assume it’s best to unlock some of the shops first before doing this ? edit: worked! tysm! my miis randomly all fell in love but its still awesome LMAO
my 3ds is japanese so it just has that keyboard. you can find the keyboard cia files online though, just make sure you backup your own keyboard or you can't switch it back (speaking from experience)
Do you know if there’s any way to get a similar effect as friend everyone without manually going through and changing everything manually? Clicking my mouse so much (100 miis on my island) puts an insane amount of stress on my hand :[
hello! i have a question: i only have a mac device so i use wineskin to open the save editor. im not sure if that matters but yeah every time i manually set everyone to be friends it corrupts my data instantly. idk what to do? i use the same ver you do.
Yes this is the big problem I explained. The friend all button will corrupt your save instantly unless you have 100 miis, you have to manually friend them 1 at a time
@ oh! I misunderstood. I thought you meant to select only the miis you had to friends manually. So you have to insert the ss, manually friend one mii, insert it back, and then continue the process? That sound long and complicated lol
everytime i fix things and import it back into the game it says it corrupted and I have to go and fix it again.. is there anyway to fix this or should I just do one thing at a time..? Also do I backup my save data again everytime I go and am going to edit it?
@@bodiezz yes you have to back it up every time to edit it, and for the corruptions maybe edit small things at a time. I’ve gotten corruptions from doing too much, it could be the game can’t process the changes or maybe you accidentally pressed a wrong button, but take it slow.
hiii, great video but I have a problem :( I made all my miis friends with eachother manually and it says my gamefile is corrupted, I checked if I accidentally made them friends with inexistent miis but no, and they arent friends with themselves either, dont know what to do pls help :(:(:(:(
thats odd, ive never had a laptop without one. maybe try googling your laptop model and see if it does have one. but anyway the save editor will definitely work if you have access to your tomodachi save data
so like, m not sure if m doing smth wrong, but i cant exactly get the edited version on2 my game. I’ve tried the restore n back up options both on my ds 4 the final step, but tomodachi still plays the pre-edited version oof
you may be placing your edited version into the wrong folder on your 3ds. make sure its saved in the same folder that you extracted your original save into!
amazing tutorial, however I think I've encountered a problem(?) You said at the end that to get the modded tomodachi life save on your 3ds, to restore the save on checkpoint, but after I tried to do that it didn't work. And when I tried again, my save data corrupted. Do you think that I did anything wrong?
you may have chosen the wrong region or need to try a different version of the save editor. or you may have saved the edited save into the wrong directory
@@HeroFourever Thank you for your response, I did try the save editor again and did a test run, and it worked. But unfortunately, I think I've encountered a new problem. when I added a bunch of miis to my game, and proceeded to make changes to the save file, it instead made those changes to the time before I added those miis. The new locations I unlocked and the new miis I brought to my island were no longer there, but the streetpass clothes and bunch of money were. I thought the problem was that I forgot to restore my save file, so I did that, but when I upload my save file to the save editor, it shows the stats I had before I made my current changes? It's very confusing, but basically what I'm trying to ask is: How do I save my changes to newer versions of my save file?
@@Haruya-u3r you're mixing up save files, don't worry I've done that before lol. make sure you backup your save right before you go to edit it, and make sure the file that you load into the editor is the newest one on your SD card
@HeroFourever Update: Thank you, that worked. I'm not sure why I kept forgetting to do that but thank you very much. I'm really glad I can make siblings siblings now (unless the game forces me to give them parents to work, in which case I'm just gonna add dummy characters)
Update two: absolutely miserable to report i'm the dumbest ass known to man. you say hit the RIGHT shoulder button (restore) but in my absolute GENIUS i kept hitting the left (backup)
Also this would have helped 15 year old me so much because when my mii got married to my brother and had KIDS i quit and then sent that island to the shadow realm
So I went to download the 4.1 file, opened it, and got hit with a message that said “There is a new version avaliable, please click on the logo to proceed” Any idea if I need to do something differently?
@HeroFoureverso the issue is that I can’t click on anything. It’s a popup that won’t go away lol. Like I try to click it and it just makes the Microsoft ding sound 😭 Should I just try to reinstall it?
Ok, so slight update: I reinstalled it and the normal one was still the same, the popup came up and I wasn’t able to interact with the page at all However I did open the Ex version and it worked. I’m not sure how to use the Ex version whatsoever and it looks unappealing lol Could I possibly be doing something wrong?
i did everything step by step, but was a bit confused by the last part on check point, you said click the right shoulder button which would be restore, but the video of your ds said backup instead, i tried the right shoulder one and went in my game and everything was the same as before i even edited anything, any help? ☹️
Ok, so there are 2 buttons, backup and restore, and they can be controlled by tapping the word on your screen OR using the left/right sholder buttons. Backup takes the save data from your game and copies it to a folder on your SD card. Restore looks in that same folder, looks for a save data file, and puts the file back into your game. So you need to backup your game, edit the save however you want, put the new save file into that folder, and then restore it.
Hi, i have a questioon. Im using the save editor, and so far its gone good (No corruptions yet) . however i used the save editor to unlock all the items. But when you unlock a full item set, theres a news report to celebrate, and for some reason now every time i edit my save i have to click through tons of news reports about it. I checked, the unlock all buttons are deselected. So what im wondering is how to i fix this if possible?
@ I’ve tried that, and unfortunately it hasn’t worked. It stops for a while, but as soon as anything gets edited by the save editor I have to click through all the news report again
@@imjellyblob Are you exporting/backing up your save in checkpoint every time you edit something? before you edit you want to make a new backup, you can't reuse what is already on your sd card
@HeroFourever ? all im trying to do is like add it into the same thing as when you open a file on citra yk ? but nothing is working and ive used the save file but everrytime ive goje back to the game it just wont work :-(
i really want to do this rn but i dont have a 3ds, sd card, or my own laptop. and i cant really get any of those when ever i want😭 but i do have citra on my phone that has us tomodachi life on there. will that work?
I wish this works for Japanese tomodachi life, will plan on editing my SD card version on my modded 2ds! :) (i don't wanna corrupt my cartridge verson of the usa one :v)
hii hero!!! can you explain how the clothes on mii section works? what do the numbers mean? i thought it was clothing numbers but i cant figure it out :( can you also spawn in items you want? :')
Hi! So in the mii inventory section the clothing number represents which clothing item the mii is wearing. Every item in the game has a number and you can type that number into the save editor to change a mii's clothes. But there is no way to know the numbers, they're not the same as the numbers in the catalogue. An easier way to do it is to go to the items edit menu, and click on the shirt icon to give it an orange outline, this unlocks ALL clothes in the game so you can then gift you miis any outfit you want!!!!
hii when I launched godmode9 it said my SD card was too full and it told me to temporarily remove the DCIM file and Nintendo 3ds file from my SD card so I did and the setup completed! I added those two files back to my SD card but those cool apps weren't on my nintendo :( what should I do to fix this?
maybe you missed the download for the apps, the 3ds hacking website will have individual download links for all of them! the file format will be either .cia or .3dsx
@@feltfirefox64 go back to the step where you installed them, i don't think you can fully start over. and don't panick, its highly unlikely you'll break anything, i was 11 when i first did it and 3ds hacking was a LOT unsafer lol
Hi, thank u so much for ur tutorial but I used it and made all my miis friends with eachother and it says my data is corrupted and will be deleted (i exited). I did use the friend all button but I have no missing miis and I made sure that no miis were friends with themselves so nothing shouldve gone wrong im hoping u can help me tho :((
you probably just missed one, it happens to me a lot don't worry. First of all there's a backup of your unedited save in the save editor folder if you need. but if you still want to edit it then try going into every empty mii slot and using the set all to unknown button.
@@xynium. well you can still streetpass people although it’s uncommon now. There are also streetpass save editors you can use as well. Spotpass is shut down now but there has been a lot of archiving done in the hacking community so you can still download them using a modded 3ds!
would u know how to fix it if my save data keeps getting corrupted whenever i make a new mii?? everything else is working perfect but today i tried to make a new mii and played another hour or so then it said it was corrupted so i tried to make a new mii and saved again and it said the same, idk what could be causing this problem if u would help that would be amaze
...you pressed the "friend all" button didn't you?/hj In all seriousness this is the exact corruption I meant when talking about the empty mii slots. Your data is corrupting because one of the empty slots is friended to a mii, go into the save editor and set all the empty slots to unknown and it'll fix it!
@@sasaranurudes yes I believe so! The 3ds hacking website has Mac friendly guides, and then you could use ftpd to access your sd card without ever taking it out of the 3ds to use the save editor
i'm going to sound very dumb asking this but i gave myself all the import items (yippee) but is there a specific method of giving myself all the non-import stuff? i just want the cute feminine mii clothes for my 7 islanders.......
Yes its the clothing icon that should be next to the import clothes icon! In the item menu clicking on any if the icons to give them an orange outline indicates unlocking them all
@ IT WAS LITERALLY AS EASY AS CLICKING ON SOMETHING? i feel so dumb. tysm now all my miis can be ✨bonita✨ (at the expense of one mii being turned into a boy somehow)
It should be in the same zip folder you downloaded! If you removed the Tomodachi Editor app from that folder then it may be in the same directory as the app. Also you won't have a backups folder if you've never used the editor before, it'll make one automatically so don't worry!
1. try checkpoint instead of jksm. 2. try a different save editor version 3. is your game up to date? 4. is it the right region? 5. are you putting in the right file? the Tomodachi Life save data is a txt file named savedataArc and you can't change that name/ Hope this helps!
@@HeroFourever hi thank you so much for the reply! ive tried all these things and my error is persisting! im using the editor winewrapped on my mac but i cant see that being the issue to be honest
Ok. So I’ve been trying to break up two Miis because they’re my friends irl who broke up. Do you know how to do that? I’ve tried to do the interactions and changing their relationship but it corrupts my save file right away. I don’t know if I just didn’t listen properly or if I’m doing something wrong but I really want them to break up 💀
@@Husky0704Gamer The breakups can be a bit hard to mess with. Try going into the mii relationships section, selecting one of the two miis in the drop down menu, finding their lover in the list of their relationships and setting it to “ex”. Make sure you hit save and then restore the save file. If it still corrupts then try an older version of the save editor
This video is very useful thank you! But I still want to ask before ruining my save lol, is it safe to put all of the relationships as new? Like, all the friends and relationships gone? Because I want to start everything again but not having to create the miis again + lose my stuff
That should be safe yes! If something does go wrong just reinstall the backup and it'll be like you never hacked it in the first place! But I've done that before and had no issues!
Stupid question, but how to tou forced babies? Ive tried the " we had a baby" interaction, but it never seems to work. Ive tried putting the tagrget as the spouse or the mii, and i even have tried giving them both the same interaction but nothing works. They're married and soul mates. You seem to be the only active ytber with knowledge on the editor, so i would appreciate the help.
which version are you using? I've found that almost ALL of the newer and ex versions don't work with the baby interactions. Try 4.0.1 and set one of your married miis to "I was thinking of having a child with mii...", remember you have to wait 2 days for them to give birth lol, though you can force it with the save editor AFTER helping with the original baby prompt.
THANK YOU SO MUUUCHH! I'm wondering if you have the same issue as me with the interiors, none of the ID numbers correspond to those in game or on the wiki. (for example, floral is 29 in game but 74 in the editor (im on US btw. LOVE YOUR VIDEOSSS
I've never edited the interiors, but they're probably numbered based on their ranking as a vector index or something like the miis are. Like how in the editor the miis are numbered 1-100, but the index used to call the mii doesn't match that number. You'll probably just have to figure out the interiors yourself, maybe its alphabetical?
@@kinzy816well in my personal experience I didn’t have a problem. The miis for me are gay and in a relationship and both use male pronouns and are referred to as husbands, I haven’t made them have a child yet so I don’t know if that’s where it becomes problematic
i have so many problems with this application....... no matter the version it never loads my save data/?????????????????? :p its also really hard to navigate because the buttons glitch out ((also i RLLY like ur oc/persona watever its rlly creative
yeah it's very glitchy, my buttons do that too sometimes. With the save data there may be a problem with the save data extractor you're using or the region of your save or your pc. AND THANK YOUUUUUUU!!! My persona is so fun to draw :D
should i try another version ? also, I made one of my mii sick by accident and I tried to change it but still doesn't work it doesn't save but everything else has. I haven't changed anything since yesterday.
this would’ve benefitted 12 year old me cuz when the miis of my parents got divorced I cried myself to sleep
LMAO MY MOM MARRIED MY GRANDAD IN MY FIRST SAVE
As a kid I put my crush as spouse and idk if this happens to everyone but I SWEAR every mii labeled as spouse is going to get rejected or reject your mii no matter WHAT.
In mine the cousins Rex and Isabelle married and had children............... Also these siblings frsle and indie married
Pls make one of these about animal crossing new leaf save editor CUS IM CONFUUUUUSED

amazing tutorial however i wish you explained the items editor because i accidentally just gave myself 99 of every piece of clothing in the game
@@novelnygma sorry, I thought it was pretty straightforward! You just type in the number of items you want and hit save! You can overwrite the 99 items you have by setting it to 0 or 1!
yeah this video is great! i used this to give myself a bunch of hair colour sprays.
for anyone else who only wants to tweak an item value or two:
- set all of the numbers for the options on the "Items edit" tab to 0
- click the blue "..." bubble on Goods items
- the items should show as how much you actually have on the save. just tweak the values for the items you want tweaking
- hit the checkmark in the bottom right and back out
- hit save

I don't know much about citra but you can definitely use the editor if you can access your save data. Sadly there isn't a way to increase the odds of getting items.
@@HeroFoureverOn the topic of item odds, do you know if items have set probabilities of showing up after you play with a Mii? For example, the gold ingot I’ve noticed shows up once in a blue moon, but the hotel toiletries show up almost every time on my save file. It doesn’t change anything because as you said the odds can’t be changed, but still curious regardless
@@brycj14128 there's no concrete proof but I believe that some items have higher odds than others
@@HeroFourever Kay thank you 👍🏿 Imma see how long Peter and Lois last until I can get ahold of the save file
@@Ahhahahahaha_urmum a bit late, but if you're using citra on pc you can access your save by right clicking on the game in the menu and choosing 'open save data location'!
Oh my god I finally got it working THANKHOU
YOU'RE WELCOME!!!!
Do you know if there is anyway to do this for PC emulation?
it depends on what you're using but yes you just need to find where the save data is stored
might be a stupid question but when i click save (it says file saved) and put my sd card back in nothing happens even after restoring? (as in no changes seem to have taken effect/file seems to have not been replaced)
huh, you may be restoring the wrong file. make sure your newly edited save is in the right folder
i'm guessing you can use the song editor thing to make songs with censored words
Thank you so much! :D This was extremely helpful, I've now indulged in greed only spoken of in the Bible.
LMAO I'M GLAD I HELPED!!!!
Last Question: Is it safe to use the Friend All button if you have no missing slots?
as long as none of your miis are married or have had children then yes
How do i do it digitally?
i lost my physical copy and installed it on my ds☹️
exact same way!
HII! ik this is kind of a dumb question but i dont understand what you did in the last part, when you put the edited save on tomodachi life using ceckpoint. when i press the right shoulder button it doenst do anything ? can you please re-explain what you did ?? BTW your persona/oc is so cool!!
@@Pinku-no-hoshi No worries! So in checkpoint you select the game you want the save files of, then you press “A” on the game. Then to extract the save data you press either the extract button or the left shoulder button, and to restore the save data after you edited it you press restore or the right shoulder button!
Hey, I'm having issues with unlocking items, how can I get new items from the save editor?
which items? inventory stuff is in its own tab and you just click the icon to make it orange and then set how many you want. do not unlock locations it will break things
Question, what do i do if i dont have checkpoint?
I got a 3ds recently that was pre-modded and i dont know if i should just restart from the beginning?? I just dont want to lose my save files 😭😭😭
you can just follow the same hacking guide I linked in the description as if you've never modded it, it won't break anything
im trying to make two specific miis fall in love but the save editor is saying stuff like "You must select a 'friend' mii" and "Must don't have a special someone" any tips?
oh those are just warnings, the editor can't tell if you've picked the right mii, it'll always say that! the editor was originally french so its english is a bit broken, just make sure the 2 miis are friends but arent dating
i did it and i managed to NOT CORRUPT MY GAME!!! WOOHOOOOO
Hey so when loading cheakpoint after getting stuff on save editer it would not let me back it up and no changes where made to my save
and i cant even restore my old save
i'm not exactly sure what you mean, but i'm guessing that youve not followed the steps correctly in checkpoint.
first you back up your tomodachi life save data.
then you load that data into the save editor
after you've edited your save, you save it to your sd card in the same spot the original data was.
then you go back into checkpoint and restore the new data into your tomodachi cartridge.
and if theres a corruption then restore the backup that the save editor made.
HELL YEAAAH. i sadly had to figure it out myself.
Any idea on why i can open my save in the editor but it crashes when i try to save anything?
hmmm, ive never seen that before. it may be a problem with your computer not having high enough specs or the save editor version.
@@HeroFourever thank you for the info 👍😃
I assume it’s best to unlock some of the shops first before doing this ?
edit: worked! tysm! my miis randomly all fell in love but its still awesome LMAO
How’d ya get the Japanese keyboards? I only have one of them unfortunately and it doesn’t have kanji available
my 3ds is japanese so it just has that keyboard. you can find the keyboard cia files online though, just make sure you backup your own keyboard or you can't switch it back (speaking from experience)
Do you know if there’s any way to get a similar effect as friend everyone without manually going through and changing everything manually? Clicking my mouse so much (100 miis on my island) puts an insane amount of stress on my hand :[
if you have ALL 100 miis then you can use the friend all button! just make sure to fix anything like married couples because the button resets those
@HeroFourever oh that’s such a relief! Thank you so much :]
hello! i have a question:
i only have a mac device so i use wineskin to open the save editor. im not sure if that matters but yeah
every time i manually set everyone to be friends it corrupts my data instantly. idk what to do? i use the same ver you do.
Yes this is the big problem I explained. The friend all button will corrupt your save instantly unless you have 100 miis, you have to manually friend them 1 at a time
@ oh! I misunderstood. I thought you meant to select only the miis you had to friends manually. So you have to insert the ss, manually friend one mii, insert it back, and then continue the process? That sound long and complicated lol
@@audhder no you can friend them all in one editing session, you just cant use the "friend all" button at the bottom of the screen.
@ i tried this but it still corrupted my save no matter what i did
@@audhder well then you'll have to restore the backup to fix it. sometimes problems just happen
everytime i fix things and import it back into the game it says it corrupted and I have to go and fix it again.. is there anyway to fix this or should I just do one thing at a time..? Also do I backup my save data again everytime I go and am going to edit it?
@@bodiezz yes you have to back it up every time to edit it, and for the corruptions maybe edit small things at a time. I’ve gotten corruptions from doing too much, it could be the game can’t process the changes or maybe you accidentally pressed a wrong button, but take it slow.
@@HeroFourever thank you sm!
hiii, great video but I have a problem :( I made all my miis friends with eachother manually and it says my gamefile is corrupted, I checked if I accidentally made them friends with inexistent miis but no, and they arent friends with themselves either, dont know what to do
pls help :(:(:(:(
it sets ALL miis to friends, so if some miis were married or siblings etc they're friends now and thats whats corrupting it
Does this work with a citra version of the game? I have the game on my 3ds, but I do not have an sd card slot on my laptop
thats odd, ive never had a laptop without one. maybe try googling your laptop model and see if it does have one. but anyway the save editor will definitely work if you have access to your tomodachi save data
so like, m not sure if m doing smth wrong, but i cant exactly get the edited version on2 my game. I’ve tried the restore n back up options both on my ds 4 the final step, but tomodachi still plays the pre-edited version oof
you may be placing your edited version into the wrong folder on your 3ds. make sure its saved in the same folder that you extracted your original save into!
amazing tutorial, however I think I've encountered a problem(?)
You said at the end that to get the modded tomodachi life save on your 3ds, to restore the save on checkpoint, but after I tried to do that it didn't work. And when I tried again, my save data corrupted. Do you think that I did anything wrong?
you may have chosen the wrong region or need to try a different version of the save editor. or you may have saved the edited save into the wrong directory
@@HeroFourever
Thank you for your response, I did try the save editor again and did a test run, and it worked. But unfortunately, I think I've encountered a new problem.
when I added a bunch of miis to my game, and proceeded to make changes to the save file, it instead made those changes to the time before I added those miis. The new locations I unlocked and the new miis I brought to my island were no longer there, but the streetpass clothes and bunch of money were.
I thought the problem was that I forgot to restore my save file, so I did that, but when I upload my save file to the save editor, it shows the stats I had before I made my current changes?
It's very confusing, but basically what I'm trying to ask is: How do I save my changes to newer versions of my save file?
@@Haruya-u3r you're mixing up save files, don't worry I've done that before lol. make sure you backup your save right before you go to edit it, and make sure the file that you load into the editor is the newest one on your SD card
Girl help what do I do when the save button doesnt work like i hit save and it says saved but no changes occur like what do i do
if you're editing miis you have to save between switching to a different window, theres no autosave
@HeroFourever Update: Thank you, that worked. I'm not sure why I kept forgetting to do that but thank you very much.
I'm really glad I can make siblings siblings now (unless the game forces me to give them parents to work, in which case I'm just gonna add dummy characters)
Update two: absolutely miserable to report i'm the dumbest ass known to man. you say hit the RIGHT shoulder button (restore) but in my absolute GENIUS i kept hitting the left (backup)
Also this would have helped 15 year old me so much because when my mii got married to my brother and had KIDS i quit and then sent that island to the shadow realm
Quick question, when you change the 3ds region, will it allow to play the using US cartridge, but get the EU cartridge events?
no the cartridge will still act like the region it is
So I went to download the 4.1 file, opened it, and got hit with a message that said
“There is a new version avaliable, please click on the logo to proceed”
Any idea if I need to do something differently?
no just ignore the message :)
@HeroFoureverso the issue is that I can’t click on anything. It’s a popup that won’t go away lol. Like I try to click it and it just makes the Microsoft ding sound 😭
Should I just try to reinstall it?
Ok, so slight update:
I reinstalled it and the normal one was still the same, the popup came up and I wasn’t able to interact with the page at all
However I did open the Ex version and it worked. I’m not sure how to use the Ex version whatsoever and it looks unappealing lol
Could I possibly be doing something wrong?
OK LAST UPDATE IT FINALLY WORKED 😭😭😭
@@noaharpan4451 you just click ON the popup lol
i did everything step by step, but was a bit confused by the last part on check point, you said click the right shoulder button which would be restore, but the video of your ds said backup instead, i tried the right shoulder one and went in my game and everything was the same as before i even edited anything, any help? ☹️
Ok, so there are 2 buttons, backup and restore, and they can be controlled by tapping the word on your screen OR using the left/right sholder buttons.
Backup takes the save data from your game and copies it to a folder on your SD card.
Restore looks in that same folder, looks for a save data file, and puts the file back into your game.
So you need to backup your game, edit the save however you want, put the new save file into that folder, and then restore it.
@ thank you!
Thank you for this
Very useful

My Tomodachi life save has been getting rusty for awhile; maybe I should play it again
Hi, i have a questioon. Im using the save editor, and so far its gone good (No corruptions yet) . however i used the save editor to unlock all the items. But when you unlock a full item set, theres a news report to celebrate, and for some reason now every time i edit my save i have to click through tons of news reports about it. I checked, the unlock all buttons are deselected. So what im wondering is how to i fix this if possible?
Click through all the news reports, theres a lot but its not infinite lol. as soon as its over save your data and then you'll never see them again!
@ I’ve tried that, and unfortunately it hasn’t worked. It stops for a while, but as soon as anything gets edited by the save editor I have to click through all the news report again
@@imjellyblob Are you exporting/backing up your save in checkpoint every time you edit something? before you edit you want to make a new backup, you can't reuse what is already on your sd card
@ oh ok I haven’t thanks
okay but how do you add it to your game???? i have it downloaded both but i dont know how to readd it since its been a few months
you use checkpoint to restore the new file that gets created after you edit the game
@HeroFourever ? all im trying to do is like add it into the same thing as when you open a file on citra yk ? but nothing is working and ive used the save file but everrytime ive goje back to the game it just wont work :-(
@@rawrankitty if you're using Citra then thats probably the problem, Citra doesn't like edited saves :(

@@rawrankitty it depends on a lot of factors
Question just out of curiosityis it safe to use the friend all button if you have 100 miis?
actually yes!!!! but also remember that the friend all button overrides all relationships, so lovers will return to friends etc.
Is there a way you can use a save editor for Citra
if you can access your game save data then yes
what if i say i downloaded both v5 and v4 save editors
well idk you do you ig
I tried to do the friendship changes (changing each mii individually) and change their favorite foods but when I opened my game, nothing changed :(
Did you restore the save properly? you have to hit save in the editor and then move the new file into the same directory that your original save was.
@HeroFourever I did, only the money changed, not sure what I did wrong with that :/

I wish this works for Japanese tomodachi life, will plan on editing my SD card version on my modded 2ds! :) (i don't wanna corrupt my cartridge verson of the usa one :v)
Can’t do Europe?
hii hero!!! can you explain how the clothes on mii section works? what do the numbers mean? i thought it was clothing numbers but i cant figure it out :( can you also spawn in items you want? :')
Hi! So in the mii inventory section the clothing number represents which clothing item the mii is wearing. Every item in the game has a number and you can type that number into the save editor to change a mii's clothes.
But there is no way to know the numbers, they're not the same as the numbers in the catalogue. An easier way to do it is to go to the items edit menu, and click on the shirt icon to give it an orange outline, this unlocks ALL clothes in the game so you can then gift you miis any outfit you want!!!!
@ THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
I can't find the dang houses in the new tonodachi life save editor

you probably just missed one, it happens to me a lot don't worry. First of all there's a backup of your unedited save in the save editor folder if you need. but if you still want to edit it then try going into every empty mii slot and using the set all to unknown button.
how do i do things with street/spotpass? (like get all the spotpass items)

...you pressed the "friend all" button didn't you?/hj
In all seriousness this is the exact corruption I meant when talking about the empty mii slots. Your data is corrupting because one of the empty slots is friended to a mii, go into the save editor and set all the empty slots to unknown and it'll fix it!

Stupid question, but how to tou forced babies? Ive tried the " we had a baby" interaction, but it never seems to work. Ive tried putting the tagrget as the spouse or the mii, and i even have tried giving them both the same interaction but nothing works. They're married and soul mates. You seem to be the only active ytber with knowledge on the editor, so i would appreciate the help.
which version are you using? I've found that almost ALL of the newer and ex versions don't work with the baby interactions. Try 4.0.1 and set one of your married miis to "I was thinking of having a child with mii...", remember you have to wait 2 days for them to give birth lol, though you can force it with the save editor AFTER helping with the original baby prompt.
THANK YOU SO MUUUCHH! I'm wondering if you have the same issue as me with the interiors, none of the ID numbers correspond to those in game or on the wiki. (for example, floral is 29 in game but 74 in the editor
(im on US btw. LOVE YOUR VIDEOSSS
I've never edited the interiors, but they're probably numbered based on their ranking as a vector index or something like the miis are. Like how in the editor the miis are numbered 1-100, but the index used to call the mii doesn't match that number. You'll probably just have to figure out the interiors yourself, maybe its alphabetical?
the time keeps getting reset , even when i backup :C
that happens sometimes. its part of modding lol
