One of the best parts about the Mii is forming connections and making new residents.

You can do many things in Nintendo's Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, and that includes creating life between two Miis in love. And don't worry, this is a family-friendly game, so the process is simple. However, certain conditions must be met.

Here's what to do if you want your Miis to have kids in the latest Tomodachi Life.

How to Make a Baby in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream

To have a baby in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, you need to have two resident Miis get married. After they get married, you need to keep working on their relationship until they reach the Soulmates status with each other.

Once they are Soulmates and their relationship becomes Irreplaceable, the chance for a pink speech bubble may randomly appear. Clicking the bubble could potentially lead to your Mii bringing up the topic of having a baby.

You could either choose for the Mii to have a child or not. Obviously, if this is what you want, you should select the positive topics that come up.

After agreeing to the couple's wish of having a baby, an in-game announcement will appear two days later to say the baby has been born. This is two real-time days, so you can choose to time-travel if you don't want to wait.

After the baby is born, you get to choose the gender, name, and which parent's personality it will have. You'll be able to edit these details later. Once the child grows up, you can select if you want them to live on the island or live elsewhere.
