Deciding between natural town vs OCD path ridden town?

[princesskyndal]

Since I recently redid my town, im trying to decide between a natural town vs one full of perfect time consuming paths. I have no idea how some of you create such incredible towns by laying down paths. I can always get a main road but then it bugs me that its not perfect? What are the perks of a natural town and how do I create one?

I'm really striving for a natural town. It's more my taste and I personally find laying paths to be sooo tedious, especially if you end up wanting to change it. However, if you do have the patience I would totally go for it! People can do some amazing things with patterns and pathways!

I think it's completely up to the individual. I have seen towns that must have taken countless hours to create. And ones that are utterly pristine. As far as I am concerned, all towns created with love are beautiful

I had paths for about a week- but I hated them, they ruined the look of my town. Like the patterns were pretty but it didn't match how I thought my town should look. So I removed them, which took longer than putting them down. But now my town is pathless- but I am thinking of using dirt paths (or patterns that look like them) because I love the look of the dirt paths lined with flowers.

While I used to have a town with paths, I'm switching back to natural. Paths look lovely, but it's time consuming, and a pain when someone moves... Try natural!

you could have a little of both like I do, most is natural but I do have some baths that blend it in great.

Hmm, maybe use a single tile path so it's so mega time consuming?

When I set paths, I just kind of go a little bit at a time. If I notice that I am using certain routes a whole lot more than others, for me it's just easier to set a path down. Then again, I love arranging flowers and landscaping too.
