How do fights, breakups and divorce work in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream?
Fights, breakups and divorce in Tomodachi Life
Friends, sweethearts and spouses can fight after a bad talk or a jealous moment. If they do not make up, they can become ex-friends, ex-sweethearts or ex-spouses. You cannot force a breakup. To fix a fight, calm the angry Mii first, then drag the two Miis together so they talk.
Steps
- Find the angry Mii. A red thought bubble shows that they had a fight.
- Talk to the Mii and tell them they should make up.
- Calm the Mii down. Give food or treasures, or rub their head. You may need to do this more than once.
- For the fastest result, give the Mii a Travel Ticket from the Wishing Fountain.
- Drag the calm Mii next to the other Mii so they talk.
- Watch the talk. If it goes well, the Miis make up and the relationship comes back.
- If it fails, wait. Later, one Mii may show an orange thought bubble and want to make up.
