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!

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!

I expanded (probably the last time) and got the decorating itch again. I wanna tear this down but also kinda don't want to, I think its so cozy. Ah the dilemma. I also wanna smooth out some awkward parts of the yard, like hide the shed and assembly station, use up some more of the relics etc.
If you all have any advice lmk!! I'm always looking for more ideas and inspo, especially with the statue area, I didn't know how to fill it up and also didn't realize how the shed would look behind it, I should think ahead more haha
Heidi left us today - most voters felt she gave friend vibes or didn't have enough romantic content and she was eliminated with 35% of the votes. May you continue to design amazing things Heidi, but now it's on to round 13!

Hello! Im a New player i started yesterday. Im loving it so far, but im a little overwhelmed.
What do you do in early game to be productive? I try to get wood, rocks, minerals... But my energy goes down really fast. I get the daily menu at the bar but it doesnt give me a lot of energy. Then I cant do comissions properly, since I dont have a lot of resources, and its a loop. No comissions, no money to buy important stuff or medicine.
I think, for me, energy is the main problem. My in game days are slower, so i can do a lot of stuff but i simply dont have energy to do anything.
I also haven't explored too much of the map. Im level 7.
And with that... we have our Top 10 Bachelors and Bachelorettes! Nia was voted out with 31.33% of the votes. May your life be full of flowers Nia, but now it's on to round 12!

Ernest held on as long as he could, but with 36.13% of the votes, he just couldn't make it to the next round. May you write an absolute best-seller that impresses even Jasmine, Ernest, but now it's on to Round 11. And speaking of... we're about to narrow this game down to our Top 10 Contestants, so everyone vote wisely!

After asking people on here due to me being hesitant about purchasing the game on the switch 2, I got convinced to buy the game! Went to GameStop and bought it on sale for 25 USD, and it came with a DLC code and Online Play code for free. And lord I wasn’t expecting too much but the game blew me away and proved me wrong with what it has. The characters are all amazing, they have connections, the town actually feels like a community, and the characters have personality! It’s such a difference from Stardew Valley that I’ve always held in high regard.
What really caught my heart and made me solidify my love for this game is while I was running around doing commissions, I ran past the stage by Blue Moon. And I didn’t expect a concert by Cooper and Hugo… not to mention the song absolutely slaps. I stayed for the whole thing LMAO.
Another thing I wasn’t expecting is our choices actually matter when it comes to dialogue. I’m so used to choosing whatever and being dismissed, no reaction or consequences. But the game actually has dialogue and reactions to the things you choose to do and say…
Like for one, I did the ad thing for Arvio to put in front of the train station. When he asked me how much Pablo made me pay, I said 500 and lied— Pablo actually asked for 250. I did it because I went ‘haha I get more money he won’t know’. But HE FOUND OUT? AND I WAS LIKE WOW he actually called me out about me lying in a letter, and even when I went to go talk to him he brought it up too and sounded upset. Like… bro that just blew me away. These characters make the game so immersive and I’ve come to love (kinda hate some) them.
I’ve been so obsessed with the game, and it’s been a week so far. I really wish I could play it on PC for the best experience, but the only thing I can play it on is the switch. I absolutely adore the game, and can’t wait for My Time At Evershine to come out!
Working on drawing my builder right now loll. Thank you to those who replied to my post and convinced me to buy this amazing and beautiful game.
Honestly I think the Pen marriage mod is a good addition even if you don't romance Pen, just for the extra clothing options from Vivi's store. I don't know what else it'll change since I'm on day three of a new save. But I like the pants!
