  • Quick Answer: Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream update v1.0.2 is a quality-of-life patch that fixes game-breaking progression blocks, local play issues, and corrupted save data.

Nintendo's quirky life sim, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, has dropped a new update.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream was officially released in April 2026 to massive success. Being able to create your own island and add Miis to watch them get up to weird antics is something that resonated with many gamers. Plus, the ability to get them to say anything (and I mean ANYTHING) has been a major crowd pleaser.

As the game only continues to get popular, Nintendo has rolled out a new update with major QoL fixes.

Sadly, no fun new content was added to the game. Still, Nintendo introduced plenty of important fixes to improve the overall experience. The fixes may seem subtle, but the resolution of issues such as not being able to progress and corrupted save files will make playing Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream much more enjoyable.

Here are the full patch notes for Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream's 1.0.2 update:

  • Fixed an issue where, after the player builds up their island, the game sometimes will not progress.
  • Fixed an issue where if you change to the exterior of a house you made at the Palette House, the game sometimes will not be able to progress.
  • Fixed an issue where, after a Mii character confesses successfully and the player tries to save, it is displayed that “your save data is corrupted,” and the player is not able to save.
  • Fixed an issue where, after multiple Mii characters start to live together, and when the player saves, it is displayed that “data has been corrupted” and the player is not able to save.
  • Fixed an issue where, when a scene switches over, an error would rarely occur, and the game would stop.
  • Fixed an issue where the player could store the wishing fountain using Island Builder, but would not be able to place it on the island again afterwards, and wishes could not be granted.
  • Fixed an issue where, after a Mii character failed to patch things up with another Mii character after fighting, its crush for a different Mii character would disappear.
  • Fixed an issue where a Mii character did not feel better even when its Sadness ran out.
  • Fixed an issue where the player could not send/receive things through local play.
  • Since the game was incorrectly using the image of the southern flying squirrel for the image of the treasure “sugar glider,” it was changed to the correct image.
  • Other issues were fixed to improve the gameplay experience.
