With players everywhere nose deep in their new islands and brand new residents and all that Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream has to offer, the sand and sun have made many players wonder about the overall passage of time in the game and what to expect later on. While many players are currently experiencing the Spring season and all that the game has to offer, it has been confirmed and found that a four-seasons cycle is included in the game. This also means that certain Wishing Fountain items will rotate out once a new season rolls around in the form of seasonal unlocks.
With the Spring season, current items are overwhelmingly bright green or pink, celebrating the return of warm weather and the perfect weather for the Cherry Blossom trees included. These are the Spring variant of Hardwood trees that appear in every season, and generally around your island. Unique flowers, landscaping options, hedges, and even interior room sets are seasonal and will rotate in and out depending on the month of the year!
Tomodachi Life Seasons & Durations
| Season | Time Period |
|---|---|
| Spring | March to May |
| Summer | June to August |
| Autumn | September to November |
| Winter | December to February |
If you’re not patient, you can time travel using your Nintendo Switch settings to change the date and time. Doing so will change it for your system, as well as for any games played on said system.
However, to discourage this, there are small penalties for the game detecting significant changes in the date. This will stop the shop refreshes in Fresh Kingdom (Grocery Store), Where & Wear (Clothing Store), Marketplace, and T&C Reno (Home Improvement) for 24 hours. Miis will also not lose hunger, nor will they donate to the wishing fountain to avoid exploits.
