People using the save editor for same sex marriages should expect some oddities, especially with housing. Having one only-female pair marry will result in a missing house (the game will act as if it is there, but won't be visible when viewing houses) whereas one only-male pair results in a house that crashes the game upon trying to access. What's strange is that the game handles them just fine upon marriage until you save and exit.
The game needs a sort of 'anchor' of the opposite sex in order for it to work. This can be done by either setting a gay and straight couple to live in the same house, or two gay couples (male pair and a female pair.) They create weird polygamy houses but they work relatively normally, though sometimes you'll only be able to see one pair or Mii in the house at a time, and one pair will take priority in showing up over the other. Don't be surprised if you catch a Mii hanging out or cooking with someone from the other pair, or worse, sleeping in the same bed...! I've also seen the occasional clone Mii show up talking to the original.

None of this is fault of the save editor itself of course, just a result of the game trying to figure out how to handle something unintended. Other than that, gay relationships actually work pretty well. They can still go on dates/propose/make babies etc. Props to the save editor for allowing it to be tested.
Given that homos work perfectly until you save and load, and that same sex marriages don't seem to be saved any differently, it must be a problem with Tomodachi Life's save loading logic (Similar to X/Y's Lumiose City lock)

Sadly, it would take more debugging expertise than I currently have to figure out what these problems are.

Hey there, thanks for making this! I have a problem with unlocking all interiors though: I check everything on the left, I save with the green checkmark but unfortunately nothing's unlocking for me. The food/clothes work fine for me though, I just can't get any interiors to unlock. Any help would be appreciated!

If you check left, interiors will be set as available (available in store only, not in your inventory), check right to set as not available (delete all items in inventory and in stores).
To have interiors in inventory, set a number between 0 and 99 in middle

Thanks for your help! I went ahead and set everything to 99 so it did appear. I didn't know exactly what the checks did, but for me at least I believe I did do it correctly, but no new interiors ever appeared in the store for me (so this might be broken?).

Hey i just want to check if you have gotten any cases like this, my game corrupts after adding a new mii.

WHAT HAPPENS:

1. I add a mii

2. When saving, game corrupts.

3. When reopened, its back to what it was before, nothing was saved.

I have a lot of trouble getting edits made to actually stick and carry through to the game : ( I try to give myself hair spray, it doesn't work, so I just set it to available... it still doesn't work. I set two people to be best friends when neither have one, it says it saved, but when applying the save there's no change. I try to set foods or clothes to available, they don't show in the shops. Yet other edits work (sometimes): I can successfully set an interaction about 50% of the time, and changing friendship values seems to work.. sometimes. My save data matches my region and everything runs smoothly up until I apply it to the game. Am I doing something wrong, or do I just need to keep doing it over and over until it works? : /

You have used save editor ? if yes, what did you used ?



You need to select same save file region than your Tomodachi Life game, or your save file will be corrupted

I mostly use it to give mii's friends and stuff, can i send you my save so you can see wahts wrong?

I don't know what happen, all features work fine for me, try to download last version another time.
I work on a big update, I'll double check and rewrite all features

I have some weird things to my archive too, I will restart from zero :/

Oops forgot to mention, I used 3.0.4 (since it works with mac), all I mainly do is give friends to mii's, give my self money, and unlock items

it's a relationship bug, something is probably different in japanese version. Reverse your changes on relationship. I delete all relationships with last version and save file is save successfully.
I'll try to fix this issue on next update. Tell me if you have something else wrong.

By relationships you mean you want me to delete all friends/love couples?

Also do you know if it's a certain mii/relationship?

no, just don't edit relationship with Japanese save file.
If you really want to edit it relationship, edit one and try to save in the game, I don't know if is a certain mii/relationship for now sorry
