I'm going to stop you right here. Patterns do prevent grass wear in this game.

It's most noticeable in winter. I have patterns everywhere in my town and I run everywhere (which is why I have patterns).

I had this long path of patterns in my town which I always ran on because it was just a straight path, but then I wanted to put a street lamp on it, but I had to move the path up a bit so the streetlamp wouldn't be too close to the cliff. When I lifted up the patterns, all that was there was dirt. I planted flowers and now the grass is revealing itself to be coming back.

Patterns do NOT prevent grass wear.

They prevent grass wear for me.

Run on your path for a couple of months and then see if they've held up. I'm currently removing some of my paths and I will post pictures of the results.

I guess paths are only for people who want to hide the dirt or just like the way they look then. xD Ooooor... those who want to make a natural dirt path but don't want to see it until it's fully done, so they put paths to make it easier to know where to run.

How do you make grass grow back though? Cause the deterioration is already noticeable in my town and it's giving me a panic attack. (Not really, but it's such an eyesore.)

Put flowers on top, then water them everyday.

If someone has the raccoon clock, can they order another from the catalog and give it to me?

Grass will also start to grow back after it rains or snows.

It is re-orderable. You should be able to find someone in the Re-tail forum that can order one for you.

Luckily I find dirt paths pretty cute. :3

I mean, even though the patterns in my town prevented grass wear, sure.

You probably haven't been running on your patterns long enough to wear out the grass.

I've been running on the patterns in my NA town for around a week and the grass hasn't worn out yet. But it will wear out eventually.

Two weeks here. And still no wear.

Give it time. The grass wear in the pictures I posted earlier, are of patterns that I have been running on for several months.

That's why I said earlier to give it a few months and then see how well they've held up.

I have a feeling the grass wear people are right here... xD Even back in City Folk you can find guides of people explaining how to do dirt roads.... and one of the tips is to put a path down to know where to run.

This is AWESOME! I am laying paths so I can make natural dirt ones like this How freaking cool, thanks for sharing.

Does the fountain have any use, or does it just look pretty?

I like my fountain, but was just curious if there is anything to do with it, like there was in City Folk.

All it does is look pretty. It doesn't do anything else.

Thank you!

My grass hasn't worn either. Been about 2 weeks. Dying for it to wear down already

Does anyone know if the beautiful town ordinance affects grass wear? For some reason, I'm having serious issues with it. I don't have patterns down, I never run, and I have flowers over every single dirt spot and no grass is growing back. It seems to get progressively worse every day and I don't know why. I currently have the Night Owl ordinance, but I'd be willing to switch if it helped my grass grow.
