Using ltdsave.app
ltdsave.app is a save editor for Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream. It runs entirely in your browser.
There are two things you need to know before you start:
- How to get your save files off your console or emulator. The game stores its save as three files (
Player.sav,Mii.sav,Map.sav) and, if you have any user-generated content, aUgc/folder of texture files. The editor needs all of these. - How to load them in and find the thing you want to change.
1. Get your save files
Section titled “1. Get your save files”Pick the source you’re playing on:
The vanilla, unmodded Switch does not expose save files to the user. There is no supported way to back them up without modifying the console. For modding a console, see this guide.
2. Load them in the editor
Section titled “2. Load them in the editor”Open ltdsave.app and drag your three .sav files (and the Ugc/ folder, if you have one) onto the page.
See Loading saves for what to do if a file doesn’t load.
3. Find what you want to change
Section titled “3. Find what you want to change”The editor is organized into tabs that map to what each file contains:
- Player, money, progress, wishes, and your full inventory.
- Mii, pick a Mii from the list to edit personality, voice, preferences, relationships, current outfit, belongings, and active troubles.
- Map, your island layout: house placements, ground tiles.
- UGC, replace user-generated textures (clothes, food, goods, exteriors, interiors, map objects, map floors, facepaint) with your own images.
- ShareMii, import a Mii or a UGC item using the ShareMii format, or export one.
4. Download the edited save
Section titled “4. Download the edited save”Hit Export All at the top of the page. The editor will download everything into a single zip. Put the contents back where you found them, replacing the originals.
