What main path pattern design are you going to use?

[Riyita]

Just wondering...

Doesn't it take forever to path out the whole town?

 

[Hamusuta]

Hopefully, I want to try and find a brown brick pattern with paw prints at the sides

 

[Officer Berri]

I'm not going to use path patterns at all. My pattern slots belong to outfits and outfits alone! :3

 

[Mario.]

Don't know yet.

 

[kalta]

yeah i wont be either seems pretty pointless and to be honest its really tacky looking

 

[Mr. Saturn]

I perfer using my patterns for other things. I've never seen the point in making a main road in your town :/
but hey, that's just me

 

[DBarbs]

I'm not a huge fan of making a road in my town, but I may consider it sometime.

In City Folk, my paths were just made from the leftover dirt from running over the same area for a long time xD

Seeing how grass doesn't deteriorate in New Leaf (Or so I heard) I'll probably just go without paths.

The blue Happy Home Showcase path.

You've heard wrong, friend. It does deteriorate, but it's not nearly as bad as City Folk.

Grass deterioration does occur in New Leaf. However, it takes much longer for the grass to deteriorate and it gross back sooner. I will be paving my main road so that I don't have to worry too much about the grass, and also because I think that it would be a cute idea

I still don't know which main path design I will use, but these are my favorites:

I will also be using some of these, but not as my main path:

If the game let you have a lot more patterns, then it wouldn't be an issue. But I can easily see myself needing all the slots for outfits, my town flag, custom furniture... You know, things like that. I don't think I'll have room for path patterns.

 

[pocky]

I hate that we have so little room for patterns T__T

What would happen if after you set up a path, you save something else over that particular pattern?

 

[Yellowfin]

You could always just create a new character solely for patterns. I may do that.

 

[Tom.Nook]

I'll probably have to create a second character for path patterns... but then their house will just take up room in my village... I'm at war with myself D:

That's a good point. I forgot about that. I was already planning to make 2 characters - the mayor and one other. The reason for that is so I can get more chances for items when the special visitors (like Saharah and the holiday-related ones) come to town, but also so I can have more item storage. I will have double the pattern slots with 2 characters. Maybe I could make a path after all!

I won't decide until later though. I will want to get my house upgraded at least a few times before I worry about what the town itself looks like.

http://merongcrossing.tumblr.com/post/47116571143 I'm gonna try to work with this one because I'm loving the idea of bushes all lined up like that. It reminds me of this one hotel I vacationed in right off the shore of the beach. I was in love with it and when I saw this whole setup it made me nostalgic and I just have to do my town that way.

That's what I did when I attempted to setup my ACCF town with pathways.

 

[Datsu]

I love those stairs, they look amazing haha! I think I might try to work with those patterns as well =)
I kind of like the idea of just having a bare town for a while though, but I think when I make my pathing I'm going to do a mix between those and some of the others I saw another person post that had some amazing water effects =)

 

[Superpenguin]

I am making my own path. The only thing I ever really hated about paths is items can't fall on them and that's a real pain when you first start off your town and pop all the balloons and shake all the trees.

Pretty much half of these were going to be the paths I would use, except maybe the blue Alice in Wonderland paths instead of the pink. They all look so good, but I may end up trying to change a couple of them so they don't look as feminine.

I'll probably do that right at the start of the game, though I have no idea where I would put my second character's house. If there's enough space, I'll probably put it close to my main one, but if not I'll probably just place it in my second favourite spot or something.

I love the idea of the bushes being lined up like that as well. My only irk with those patterns is that they're lacking borders around the edges - that's what I love most about having pathways, if I'm honest.

 

[Sakura0901]

I think I might use this one

 

[Gandalf]

I will probably make my own path a little while after release. Might give animal tracks a go this time as well
