What's in the Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Demo?
Where Does the Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Demo End?
The demo ends when you complete the Where & Wear clothing shop tutorial. At this point you'll see a message that says the demo has reached its limit, and you'll be offered the option to purchase the full game from the Nintendo eShop.
Everything you've done up to this point — your island name, Miis, relationships, Warm Fuzzies earned, and any unlocked clothing — is saved and will transfer when you upgrade.
