How does food work in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream?

Tomodachi Life foods and favorite foods guide

Buy food at the Fresh Kingdom Food Mart and feed it to your Miis. Each Mii has its own favorite foods, which raise happiness the most, and hated foods, which lower it. To find a favorite, feed new foods, watch the reaction, and check the Mii's info.

Steps

  1. Create your first Mii and solve its first problem. The Fresh Kingdom Food Mart then opens.
  2. Check the Daily Specials at Fresh Kingdom each day. Buy at least one of each new food.
  3. Feed different foods to a Mii and watch how it reacts.
  4. Open the Mii's info. Its favorite and least favorite foods are highlighted there.
  5. Give the favorite food when the Mii needs more happiness.
  6. Make custom food at the Palette House after it opens.

Tips

  • Early in the game, the Daily Specials show foods from your home region. Foods from other regions appear later.
  • A Mii that needs food shows a thought bubble. Press Y to see the list of Miis and find the ones with problems.
  • If a Mii hates a food, its happiness goes down. You can raise it again with food or items that it likes.
  • A favorite food is the fastest way to raise happiness. Find each Mii's favorite early.

Questions

How do you find a Mii's favorite food?

Feed the Mii different foods and watch how it reacts. A big, happy reaction means a food that it loves. The Mii's info then highlights its favorite and least favorite foods.

What is the best food in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream?

No single food is best for every Mii. Each Mii has its own likes. A food that one Mii loves can be a food that another Mii dislikes.
