Playing Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is best done gradually, with daily check-ins to watch your island and your Miis grow. Giving wishes helps level up your Miis, and upgrading your island depends on how well you manage their needs.
To get the most out of your time, make sure to do these key activities each day when you visit your island:
### 1. Collect Money from the Fountain
The Fountain is the main hub where your Miis gather. It acts as a central gathering spot and a wishing well. Each day, all your Miis donate some money, and the total depends on how many Miis are on your island. Keep your population high and your island thriving to maximize the daily earnings from the Fountain.
### 2. Check Their Favorite Foods
Feeding your Miis helps keep them happy. Visit the grocery store, Fresh Kingdom, where there are four daily items. These selections rotate randomly, so check multiple times if you can. Buying at least one of each new item adds it permanently to the store’s stock, making it easier to feed your Miis later. Each food comes in three sizes and can boost their happiness and levels, especially if it’s their favorite. Be sure to find and feed them their preferred foods to help them grow stronger and happier.
### 3. Feed Your Miis
After stocking up on food, spend time giving it to your Miis. They won’t eat without your prompting. Each Mii has different food preferences; liked foods boost their mood and level, while disliked foods can harm their happiness. Foods fill their stomachs to varying degrees, so mix and match to see who likes what. Feeding them their favorites is the surest way to improve their mood and progress.
### 4. Buy New Clothes
Customize your Miis by changing their outfits. The Where & Wear clothing shop offers a daily selection of clothes, shoes, and accessories that rotate often. Dressing your Miis in new clothes not only makes them look good but can also increase their happiness and level. Try to buy a variety of items for maximum effect—everyone enjoys new styles.
### 5. Visit the Market
As your island level increases, new shops become available, like the daily Market. It now operates as a full truck that makes three visits each day—morning, afternoon, and evening. Each visit offers different mystery bags of items that may contain useful or rare things. Check all markets if possible, since each has unique items that can help you progress.
### 6. Watch the Mii News Station
Your Miis will broadcast stories on the Mii News Network based on activities around the island. These broadcasts can be one of your fun daily check-ins, offering humorous updates about your Miis or special events. You can save up to 49 broadcasts, so mark your favorites.
### 7. Develop Mii Relationships
Your Miis interact constantly, and now you can control that more than ever. Drag and drop Miis to introduce them or encourage conversations. Maintaining strong relationships keeps your island lively and happy. Check in regularly to see how their bonds grow and adjust interactions to keep everyone happy.
### 8. Play Mini-Games for Rewards
Miis will occasionally call you over to play mini-games, marked by green lines above their heads. Win these games to earn treasures—one of three wicker baskets each containing a prize. Choose carefully to get the best reward, as defeating your Mii opponent can unlock valuable items.
### 9. Sell Unneeded Items
Throughout your gameplay, you’ll gather treasures and other items from your Miis. The Rite Price Pawn Shop is where you sell these treasures. The shopkeeper will offer a price for each item, and you can decide when to sell. Instant payment helps you earn cash quickly, giving you funds to invest in your island’s growth the next day.
Focusing on these daily routines will steadily develop your island, boost your Miis, and keep the game engaging.
