Ryujinx

1. Locate the save through the in-app menu

Section titled “1. Locate the save through the in-app menu”

The easiest way is to let Ryujinx open the folder for you.

  1. Launch Ryujinx.
  2. In the games list, right-click on Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream.
  3. Choose Open User Save Directory.

A file manager window opens at the save folder. Inside you’ll find:

Player.sav
Mii.sav
Map.sav
Ugc/
├── UgcCloth000.canvas.zs
├── UgcCloth000.ugctex.zs
├── ...

The Ugc/ folder is only present if you’ve created a UGC in-game, if you haven’t yet, it probably doesn’t exist.

Copy the entire save folder to somewhere safe before touching it. The editor never writes back to your filesystem directly, it creates a copy, but you’ll be the one overwriting the originals, and that’s the moment a backup pays off.

A simple convention: copy the folder, append .bak.YYYY-MM-DD to the copy’s name.

Open ltdsave.app and drag the three .sav files (and, optionally, the Ugc/ folder) onto the page. See Loading saves for what happens next.

When you download the patched save from the editor, you’ll get a zip containing the same filenames. Extract it and overwrite the files inside the Ryujinx save folder you opened in step 1.
