Why You Need This

Our [online save editor](/save-editor) lets you modify your Tomodachi Life save file directly in the browser — no downloads, no risk. But first you need to locate the \savedataArc.txt\ file on your PC.

Ryujinx (Switch / Living the Dream)

The save file is stored in Ryujinx's user data folder:

\\\`

%appdata%\\Ryujinx\\bis\\user\\save\\

\\\`

Inside that folder, navigate through the numbered directories until you find a folder containing \savedataArc.txt\. The path looks like:

\\\`

%appdata%\\Ryujinx\\bis\\user\\save\\0000000000000001\\[title-id]\\0\\savedataArc.txt

\\\`

The title ID for Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is \010067B017588000\.

Quick Method (Windows Search)

  1. Press **Win + R**, type \`%appdata%\\Ryujinx\`
  2. In the Ryujinx folder, use Windows Search (Ctrl+F) to search for \`savedataArc.txt\`
  3. The first result is your save file

Lime3DS (3DS Original Game)

For the original 3DS game on Lime3DS:

\\\`

%appdata%\\Lime3DS\\sdmc\\Nintendo 3DS\\[id]\\[id]\\title\\00040000\\00132600\\data\\00000001\\

\\\`

The file is named \savedataArc.txt\ in that directory.

Backing Up First

Always make a backup before editing. Copy \savedataArc.txt\ to your Desktop before dragging it into the save editor. If anything goes wrong, you can restore the original.

Next Step

Once you have the file, drag it into our [Save Editor](/save-editor) to modify gold, unlock items, and more.
