What Else Changed
Living the Dream introduces a color palette system tied to personality groups, affecting clothing, house interiors, and Profile Cards. The Overall slider's direction has been corrected (it was reversed in the 3DS version). Personality now also affects how effective a Mii is at cheering up sad islanders.
