Oh okay. But I do believe Powersaves saves are stored in Users>(Your username)>Action Replay Powersaves as .BIN files. But I'm not sure since I don't have Powersaves. I only have Powersaves for amiibo. Oh well.

A Mii News editor would be nice. An option to change the relationship with islanders or editing a Mii's speech bubble icon so you can make him or her fall in love with someone else of your choice would be cool.
The moment you can control relationships is the moment when the games no longer fun.

How does the remove time penalty option work? I've checked this option then imported my save data into the game yet when I go to change the time in game I still get stuck with the time travel penalty. I'm not sure what activates this because the last time I brought my save file into the editor before putting it in the game, when I opened my game I was out of the time penalty. So as I said I'm not sure what triggers this option to allow you to be free of the penalty. For all I know this option could still be getting worked on and fixed in future updates.

For use Remove time travel penality, you need to change the clock of your 3ds and go in tomodachi Life, for have time penality message ; save and export your save and check "remove time travel penality for have objects of each day"

Work fine normaly but I will test another time

So I tried this out. What I did I did with both the 3DS clock as well as the In game clock. I set the clock forward but my save file which had been through the editor has had the Remove time travel penalty option checked this whole time. I noticed something weird happen today. I had messed around with the time late last night and then midway through the day I was suddenly out of the time freeze. So I'm not sure what's suppose to trigger this option. In case I needed to run it through the editor again and saving with the time penalty option check I tried importing the exported edited data after both trying to adjust the 3DS clock and the in game clock at separate points yet nothings really working. I'm still in a time freeze and I still see the alert about changing time. What should I do?


EDIT: I think I figured it out. For this know I know JK's Save Manager. So what I did was I exported the save so I could use it in the editor. Checked Remove Time Travel Penalty and Saved. When I exported the save I made sure to make a new Export name for the save. Now that I got the edited save I brought it back to the folder where the original saved file was to replace it.

For the sake of demonstration I named the export name p of which showed up as a folder which held the save. Now I replaced the file in it with my edited save. So then I imported the file into the game. Finally I booted up Tomodachi to find I'm out of time freeze. Now whether this prevents all together time travel penalty from happening or you have to take it through the save editor each time as I instructed above to remove it when you're done time travel I have yet to determine.

Now this probably isn't exactly how most people do it but it's what worked for me. Hope this helps.

"Remove time travel penality" just show items in the shop that don't appear when the time changed, the game manages the clock automatically, I will try tomorrow what can i do

So this is what worked for me to get the time travel penalty removed. This may not be the quickest way to do it, but it is A way to do it. Or at least until an updated version of this editor is released of course.

Step 1: Change time in Tomodachi through the in game clock

Step 2: Go to JK Save Manager > SD/CIA > Tomodachi Life > Export Save

Step 3: Make a new export file name and export your saved data

Step 4: Take your file from that folder on your SD card and copy it to your desktop.

Step 5: Put it in the Save Editor and check Remove Time Travel Penalty option

Step 6: Copy the edited save back to the folder you got the save from. Make sure to replace the old file with the edited save.

Step 7: Go back to JK’s Save Manager and import the file into your game

Step 8: With any luck the time penalty shall be removed.

Hello,
I add informations for future updates on my first message, if I found something to add I update it.
It's a little long because I test much value for found something, this topic will stay WIP until I think I found everything
I learned with great error that save files version were different by region, I not stop updates as long as the editor will not be compatible perfectly with the Japanese version if I can

So all of the sudden despite this editor working great for me in the past, every time I try to put any of my none corrupted file back ups in the editor it corrupts them leaving me with no way to remove time travel or use it's various other uses. What should I do?

what did you try changed ? are you sure that you use a non corrupt save file ?

If i call on my most recent backed up save i was trying to remove the time penalty when the editor said my save was corrupted. I stupidly didnt back up my most recent save so its been corrupted.... however a week or so back when i was helping a friend get some items with the editor i backed up my save then. So i imported that save to get in my game. After a save i exported said save and after backing it up i tried to put it in the editor to find once again your save is corrupt or is not a tomodachi save. if the save was corrupted before bringing it into the editor i wouldnt be able to boot up that save data in my game so i have reason to believe that the editor itself has in fact become broken or corrupted as no matter which save i use in it it says your save is corrupted.

you need to verify your save file
name : savedataArc.txt
1940 ko
end offset : 1E4C97

if not this your save has been corrupt, by other thing, the editor can read only tomodachi life save file with this settings

    Mostly for big purchases, I want it in my hands before I pay. Like a tv, I trust picking it up myself, before I'd trust it being sent thru mail/delivery. (Broken screen, etc) But yea if I can order online, then pickup at store is ok, but not all places offer that.

    Thing is, if you break it driving back to your house, it's your fault. But if the delivery driver damages it, it's not your fault.
