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.

The title ID for Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is \010067B017588000\.
Quick Method (Windows Search)
- Press **Win + R**, type \`%appdata%\\Ryujinx\`
- In the Ryujinx folder, use Windows Search (Ctrl+F) to search for \`savedataArc.txt\`
- The first result is your save file
Lime3DS (3DS Original Game)

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

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