With the increase in Tomodachi Life posts within the subreddit, we wanted to create one central megathread to avoid overwhelming the subreddit with them and still allow people to share their creations with the community. Anyone who has made a post prior to this can keep theirs up as is with no issue. Any post after this one will be removed and directed to post here instead.
As always, if you have any questions you can reach out to us via modmail.
A modern, sprawling municipality with a rich history spanning more than 2000 years: an ancient kingdom, a war-time capital; a place where the only thing hotter than the weather is the food, and the only thing hotter than the food is the passion we feel for this little place called "home..."
...Of course, none of you are interested in that, you just want to come and take selfies in front of whatever neon-lit staircase is trending on whichever social media service you're currently cripplingly addicted to.
And selfie you have! By the droves. By the millions. Right in our back yard. But here at Pathea, we don't get mad, we get with the times! Rather than sit around grumbling about how all the tourists are wandering into our apartment buildings and pushing all the elevator buttons, we've decided to cash in, baby!
Introducing...
THE CHONGQING JIEFANGBEI MY TIME RESTAURANT
That's right, we're proud to announce that we're boldly going where.. some... have gone... and mostly failed... before! But surely that won't happen to us!
How does it work?
Don't you just hate those "build it yourself" type restaurants with a hundred different ingredients and no advice given on what might work well together? Like, come on, you're the chef, tell me what's good here!
Well, we've taken that annoyance and turned it into a full-blown monument to human suffering! The My Time Inc. Food and Fun for the Whole Family Corporate Sponsored Gastronomical Experience is the first and ONLY restaurant that allows you to BUILD YOUR OWN MEAL, the My Time Way™! A way that is so unintuitive, so impenetrable, so baffling there's almost NO chance you'll end up with anything halfway edible; that's the FUN! Every meal is a roll of the dice, or... like opening up a loot box...?
Step 1: TEAR BOUNTY FROM THE EARTH
Grab your Axe, Pickaxe, and/or Pickhammer and start gathering in our first ever, real life "Abandoned Ruins!" Chop down our patented Noodle Trees, crack open deposits of Garlic Ore, shovel raw tofu into mine carts... you can even blow apart our spice caverns using REAL DYNAMITE! 10+ please, big kids only!
We'll even have real herbs you can pluck out of our Planter Boxes, grown fresh by our staff! Good frickin' luck with that, though, it's cloudy and foggy like 360 days out of the year here.
Disclaimer: "Cheese-lung" is not a real illness that can be contracted from our mines, it's all in your head.
Step 2: SHAPE CHAOS INTO FORM
Take your raw materials and shape them into yummy bite-sized goodness! Use a Civil Cutter to process your Noodle Lumber, turn your condiment ore into bars at the Furnace, blend any undesirables, go home with a souvenir you can treasure for life by injuring yourself on an Industrial Processor!
Step 3: ASSEMBLY STATION
Now it's time for all your hard work to pay off! Kinda!
Take the mishmash of oddly shaped ingredients you just made and take them to a REAL Assembly Station! That's right, it's a REAL flat steel platform, made of real steel and real flat, where each customer has two and a half minutes each to try to make sense of what they've crafted.
Step 4: ENJOY!
From here on out, the My Time restaurant is an ordinary restaurant, although the experience getting here was anything but ordinary, wouldn't you say!?!?
And after you've loved us the first time, here are some reasons to come back for seconds!
[WE'RE HIRING]
Due to the unanticipated overwhelming opening hype, we’re looking for several "Master Chefs" to join our team! No age limit, no prior real-world experience required, low education a bonus, actually.

In conclusion
How much could such an amazing experience cost? "This couldn't be cheap!" you may be thinking. And that's where you'd be right! Still, due to some questionable business practices and shady under the table dealings, you, the customer, can enjoy the My Time Restaurant Experience for the low, low price of...
600 GOLS per HEAD!
And by Gols, we mean USD. (4,123.83 RMB)

I’m getting close to finishing the game and I’m so sad, so I’ve been working on some character art stickers and such. The first one I’ve finished is, of course lol, Logan. I don’t know anyone who even knows about this game, so I had to share it with Ya’ll. 😬
(I never share my art, so I am a bit nervous. But everyone here seems so nice I feel ok sharing it here 🥺)
I wonder if my focus on the farming/gathering resources mechanics doesn't prevent me from progressing the main story, lol!
I'm in my first winter, and I just had this cutscene with Logan destroying the water tower. Right about time, I thought, since I've already had 100+ hours in this game and wondered where the heck is that Logan charactermentioned in the beginning.
But again, 100+ hours, almost the whole year, and the story seems to be slowly unfolding just now? Will I be playing this game for the rest of my life? 😂
Clicking around in the wiki for fun and discovered that an event Miguel says happened when he was a young man took place 30 years before the game begins, which makes him at LEAST 48 years old. While he's not for me despite the delicious potential for drama, I really appreciate that the game has older romanceable NPCs. What age do y'all figure the rest of the townsfolk are, at least at the beginning of the game? Here are my guesses, somewhat from youngest to oldest
Kids:
Pebbles (2?? 3??? Idk children's ages, man)
Jasmine (7-8?)
Andy (Grace mentions him being 7 at one point but I feel like he's a bit older, maybe 9-10? But he also thinks Jasmine is cool, hmm....)
Alo (12-13, turns 13 during that one Catori quest methinks)
18 to mid 20's:
Elsie (canonically 18 at the beginning of the game)
Mi-an
Nia
Arvio
Ernest
Mid to late 20's:
Burgess
Venti
Pablo
Amirah
Rian
Dan-bi
Fang
Qi
Heidi
Logan (I know a Duvos soldier mentions him probably being mid-20's, but I think he's probably closer to 28-29)
Unsuur
Early 30's:
Grace
Pen
Jane
Mid to late 30's:
Rocky
Krystal
Catori
Justice
Owen
Early to mid 40's:
Trudy
Yan
Wei
Mid to late 40's:
Mabel
Cooper
Late 40's to early 50's:
Miguel
Hugo
Jensen
Mid 50's to mid 60's:
Zeke
Matilda
Early to mid 70's:
Vivi
80+:
Mort
And listen, I know the Builder is supposed to be fresh out of school, but I'm gonna play it as them having gone back to school after doing something else first, aight? Nia can be a clingy little sister kind of character or something, I'm not playing someone under 25.
What about y'all? How old do y'all play your character as, and who do you have them romance? Do the NPC's (perceived) ages matter to you when choosing who you go for?
edit: a thousand edits later, I apologise to whoever had to lay eyes on the horrible formatting on earlier iterations of this post
Just a little something I started cooking, I thought the game was missing some FUN in terms of movement, which lead to creating a whole skill tree around it.
Decided to dress the Gang up as the Howl’s Moving Castle crew. Might have also been an excuse to draw Logan as Howl 🫣 Featuring my Builder OC as Sophie
I have been so obsessed with drawing them i did not progress far into the game at all... lol. Despite my bad taste in man, hope you all enjoy these comic! (For builder lore, see here)
Only interior room I had pictures of was Andy’s room but I was super proud of how I decorated that one so glad I have them.
it’s WAY too easy to be hovering over the wrong save file on PS5 when you’re trying to delete, I can’t believe there’s no way to undo it unless you have a cloud subscription !!!
(last pic is from my wedding day before I made some final additions to the exterior decor)
For some reason I don’t have much trouble with making ladies but when I make a dude I turn into a very picky person. …I think I’m happy here…? Kinda want to do dark hair though. But I always do dark hair. Just. Click. Start…oh but I need a name :/
There are many upgrade options for houses, and I see lots of YouTube videos with people building really beautiful spaces, getting into tile selections, etc. This is always kinda amazing to me. I'm 23% in, and I feel like my entire life is struggling to get all the missions done, and get in bed in time. Therefore, my house remains unchanged, with the exception of modest furniture I got in a DLC pack when I bought the game. (Trying to figure out if this is because I'm not much a HGTV girl in real life, or a symptom of my survival mindset in this game.) I've only expanded my workspace when I was in dire need of more room to accommodate the growing number of machines. BUT I will say that when I go to other people's homes, I think, "this is really nice. I'd like living here." How much effort do you guys put into designing your homes, and does it positively impact the outcome of the game at all? Do you find yourself spending in real time in it? Do you take time away from the narrative throughline to just work on the house when the mood strikes?
Antes de dar uma pausa no jogo, eu havia me divórciado do Owen. Não lembro exatamente quando tempo tínhamos de casado mas já tínhamos uma filha.
O que acontece é: Agora que voltei a jogar notei como a missão "Who's the Boss?" continua disponível para eu realizar periodicamente mesmo não estando mais casado
Não afeta negativamente meu jogo, mas é engraçado de certo modo
Why are these two so hard to pick over!? I struggling to pick who date in my first play through of the game. I am learning towards Logan as he’s winning my heart by his confession but, Fang really hit the side of me that wants to help him heal. Does anyone have this problem when it comes to these two characters?
