Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream gave me a new archnemesis

A Polygon writer built Mii versions of himself, his girlfriend, and Todd Howard in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream.

Todd Howard’s Mii unexpectedly befriended and pursued the girlfriend’s Mii, creating a weird island rivalry.

The writer calmed the tension by giving Todd a Skyrim-themed item, but the Mii still kept affecting island life.

The anecdote highlights how life sims like Tomodachi Life can produce surprisingly personal drama and attachment.
