Tomodachi Life, known in Japan as Tomodachi Collection: New Life, is a social simulation video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS, which is the sequel to the Japan-exclusive Nintendo DS title Tomodachi Collection. The game follows the day-to-day interactions of Mii characters, referred to as “islanders”, as they build relationships, solve problems, and converse with the player. Tomodachi Life begins with the player naming their island and creating their lookalike, which is usually their personal Mii. The Miis are given unique personalities based on the player’s choices for their stats, such as walking speed, speech, and quirkiness.
The player is prompted to give their lookalike food to eat and a friend to interact with. The Town Hall will then open, allowing the player to create more Miis. Miis can perform various actions, including interactions such as friendship, romance, conflicts, and other social events. Over time, the player unlocks more locations, clothes, food, and things for the Miis to interact with, such as items to give them and special interiors for their apartment. The player is awarded with in-game currency by interacting with the islanders, resolving their problems, and giving gifts.
In-game currency can also be gained by going to the Fountain for donations from the islanders and selling non-interactive items gained from Miis at the Pawn Shop. Tomodachi Life is set in real time and encourages players to play at different times of the day to observe different interactions with islanders. Over time, the islanders will interact and develop friendships with each other at random intervals. If two Islanders of the opposite gender and similar age interact, one can confess their love to the other, which, when successful, sets them as their “Sweetheart”, or “Special Someone” in the European version, which can lead to marriage after further interactions.
Eventually, if a married couple is on the island, the player will receive a phone call from either the mother or the father, informing them that they had a baby, and allowing them to name it and edit its face. After this, the married couple can ask the player to babysit the child, which will start a minigame that changes depending on the child’s age. After the child grows up, the player can either move them to the apartments or send them off via StreetPass to appear on other islands as an explorer.

If you find a ROM that's encrypted, you need to use the Batch CIA 3DS Decryptor, created by Matif.
Not all games are fully compatible with Citra. If you do find a game that's not working, try using the latest PabloMK7 Citra fork, the continuation of Citra since its shutdown.
Citra is an open-source 3DS emulator for Windows, Mac, Linux and Android devices.
It is designed to recreate the functionality of the Nintendo 3DS system on other platforms, enabling users to play 3DS games in higher resolutions and with improved graphics.
when creating a mii, it doesn’t show the face for some reason and it was, instead, replaced with a flat png of a circle with a diagonal line in it.
errfix.3dsx – Google Drive this should fix it.
Where do I need to put that file?
you need to open the file in the emulator then select tomodachi life the faces should show up after that
Hi sorry I’m rly dumb I’ve never uses this stuff before what’s an emulator and how do I select files
the emulator should be the program u downloaded to run the game, such as citra or lime
does it work for android
it does
Think so
says the file doesnt exist
It says the same to me, the file might be “deleted”.

errfix.3dsx – Google Drive this is it, lmk if it works since it did for me.

select the file after opening the emulator and then select tomodachi life it should show the mii faces after that
Just wanted to pop in and say thank you for this! it worked perfectly.
where do i put this file
Just put the file in the same folder as your game and select it then select the tomodachi life rom
the app wont let me add the file for some reason? like i add it then it didnt actually go onto the app if that makes sense
It says it was deleted to me… Or the link was expired

There is an error sign instead of the faces
What’s the point if the faces don’t even load correctly?
Same problem as everyone, faces won’t load. Very sad.
errfix.3dsx – Google Drive should fix it
THIS WORKS !!!!!!! THANK YOU!!! for those confused (like me 5 minutes ago) you just need to double click (launch) the folder BEFORE you open the actual game!!!!!! hope this helped!!!!
…the doc has been deleted 🙁 can you link another one?
it works but the faces are Xs PLS FIX THIS
errfix.3dsx – Google Drive should fix the problem. no worries, it doesnt have any malware or stuff like that
Hey it says the google drive doesn’t exist anymore
The faces don’t load on the US version.
if you can’t see the mii faces on the tomodachi life rom you need to load the errfix.3ds.
with the emulator then select tomodachi life the file needed to see the faces is in the google doc the user provided below
Yo where i did get the google drive link
Does anyone know how to change the language for the European version from English to Spanish, specifically on MacBook?
settings?
Hi !
You can do that in Emulation parameters, under the tab “System”
have a good day !
Whenever I go in to type a name for something or someone, it automatically fills it in upon click with ‘CITRA’. How would I make this not happen so I can freely name my things?
Just downlaoded the ROM today, fixed the faces issue, but now having this same problem with the name being locked to CITRA. Anyone knows a fix, pls reply.
guyz i can’t see the images on the minigames like the one where you have to guess the zoomed item, or when someone wants to get married and i have to help them i can’t see the images they show me please someone have this problem too? if you know how to solve it please lemme know
At one point the game started crashing uncontrollably. I can’t even play normally. I tried freeing up space on my device, but the game continues to crash. It was normal until then.
the links is invalid?
Links are working, must be something on your end
Link for faces is not there
is there any way to use streetpass/online features?
it might just be me being dumb but whenever i open the google drive folder using the emulator it just shows up as a black screen no matter what i do. Am i supposed to combine the drive and the game folders somehow? what am i doing wrong @~@
I didn’t initiate the StreetPass when it first gave me the chance to and now I don’t know how to initiate it, does anybody know how I can do that?
how do i get this working on PC? i but the google drive file in the same folder as the game and run the file on the emulator but it doesnt work…
is there any mod to make it so any character can be gay?
you can just make the character a female and give them male features.
hey, for the mii maker only the bottom screen shows, and past that at the apartment its black except for the ui .. help?
My Tomodachi works fine but it’s been lagging a lot and crashing. Does the same with miitopia what do I do?
I noticed while playing minigames, such as the matching game or zoomed in, that there was nothing on the screen, also when a mii got rejected or felt sad and was thinking about another mii their thought bubble would be blank, it’s the same thing when they want to get married. How do I fix that ?
Hi ! Do you guys know why my citra app crashes when i load the game ? (Im on android Phone, samsung s22)
uhhh the face is censured
For some reason my files corrupted wen I unloked the ds immage sharing sistem
mines doing the same, i think.
how do i fix my cursor being offset, its offset to below where its supposed to be, I’ve relaunched the game and its still offset
Ran into an issue that caused icons in mini games to just be blank, does anyone have a fix for this?
it says invalid rom format what do I do all I’m seeing are about the faces
It works perfect, I already fixed the faces no problem, my issue is that the voices are insanely quiet, especially compared to the loud volume. Even when I unlock settings and lower the BGM volume and raise their voices, it’s still hard to hear them. Any way I can fix this?
how did you get it to load? Mines not working
When I open the game the island and background is all black and glitching I downloaded the thing to fix the faces and I doesn’t have the red cross but everything is still black and glitchy I’m on android has anyone else had this problem?
How do I stop the island and Mii name from both automatically being “citra”?
Keeps showing me a zip file not a rom i can’t use it on my emulator 🙁
unzip the zip file
It worked and played it for a while but after 2 days of playing whenever i try to load it pauses and shuts it off completly right before it opens. Is there any way i can fix it?
It works great but I have sound issue, with a sound that’s distorted and frequently disappears altogether, anyone knows how to fix this issue ?
Hello, I am using a Mac computer to emulate this game. I have downloaded both this rom, and the google drive file to fix the faces but the comments saying to put everything in a file doesn’t work. The game itself runs at 2-15 fps at 10-30% game speed. I am not very good with computers so I would appreciate any advice on how to make my game run properly/smoother ^_^
XD
Does anyone know where to find or how to restore save data? I usually used to save the game with the in game save. I wanted to get into the game today and suddenly the whole island reset and my last Citra save was too long ago.
Is the DLC part of this?
Is the DLC a part of this download or is there something separate I can download to find it?
I’m on Folium and I don’t know how to add the error fix file onto tomodachi life
I dont know how to download it from the file
Can someone resend me the updated link of the gdrive for the 🚫 heads? The link isn’t working for me, it says it might be deleted :((
