**Buddy** (called Carer in Europe) is one of the four **Considerate** personalities in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream. To get it, set **Movement 1, Speech 1, Energy 5, Thinking 5**, counting each slider's 8 steps from the left. 220 slider combinations give a Buddy; the Overall slider does not matter.

## What a Buddy Mii is like

Loyal and thoughtful. Puts friends first and keeps the peace.

Buddy belongs to the Considerate group (Easy-going in Europe), together with [Sweetie](/sweetie), [Cheerleader](/cheerleader), [Daydreamer](/daydreamer). Considerate Miis use the yellow and orange color palette on their clothes, room and profile card.

In Europe and Australia the same personality is called **Carer**. Guides that say Carer and guides that say Buddy mean the same thing.

## Every slider setting that gives Buddy

The game adds Movement and Speech into one score and Energy and Thinking into another. Buddy needs both scores in the right band, so there are two small tables to check. Pick any pair from the first and any pair from the second.

### Movement and Speech

| If Speech is | Movement can be |
| --- | --- |
| 1 | 1 to 4 |
| 2 | 1 to 3 |
| 3 | 1 to 2 |
| 4 | 1 |
| 5 | none |
| 6 | none |
| 7 | none |
| 8 | none |

### Energy and Thinking

| If Thinking is | Energy can be |
| --- | --- |
| 1 | none |
| 2 | 8 |
| 3 | 7 to 8 |
| 4 | 6 to 8 |
| 5 | 4 to 7 |
| 6 | 3 to 6 |
| 7 | 2 to 5 |
| 8 | 1 to 4 |

Steps are counted 1 to 8 from the left end of each slider. A quick, safe choice is Movement 1, Speech 1, Energy 5, Thinking 5.

## What Buddy turns into when you move a slider

Buddy sits in column 1 of 4 and row 3 of 4 on the personality chart (counting from the slow, polite side and from the flat, serious side). Its neighbors are one band away:

- With a higher Movement or Speech: [Daydreamer](/daydreamer) (Dreamer)
- With a higher Energy or Thinking: [Sweetie](/sweetie) (Softie)
- With a lower Energy or Thinking: [Strategist](/strategist) (Patient)

Speech and Thinking jump by two points between steps 4 and 5, so one click there is the most common reason a Mii lands on a neighbor instead of Buddy.
