Do you put down paths?

[majnin]

Do you make path designs and place them in your town? Or do you just plant trees and flowers anywhere?

I never normally make path patterns but I kinda like how some of them look. I'm planning for my future NL town and I wanted to know what you all prefer!

I have placed some paths around my animals' houses but I don't place paths through the town. I want my town to still look organized yet have that rural and quaint look that makes Animal Crossing so much fun.

I don't have any paths by far. But I think I'll make them in the future.

I always try to go for the natural or very detailed patterns. Personally, I think paths are one of the most important factors that make a town stand out. However, it is your town and you should decorate it in any way you please despite what we think

I'm using paths this time around- it's an extra layer of customization that is turning out to be really enjoyable for me. There are a lot of talented artists in the AC community and it's such a pleasure to see what they do. And, it's fun to make these patterns yourself.

Yes, I do. I have a really nice, very real looking cobblestone single stone that I've customized based on a design a friend gave me.

After I get the paths where I finally want them, I might go to a dirt bordered with flowers.

I made a pathway right from the start and i have to say that i was very lucky with where the villagers moved in, 'cause none of them moved in the way of my paths!

I'm still deciding whether I should finish the paths I've made or delete the designs and let it be natural.

I've been pretty lucky with villager placement too. Two of them nipped off a piece of my path but I just found a way around them that works. I also started on a path as soon as I got the game because it finished downloading around 2:00 am and there was nothing to do, lol.

This is where I am as well...I'm thinking of deleting mine.

I'm totally NOT into paths of any sort. Who's going to follow them? I don't run at all around my friend's towns; so far all my visitors just walk about exploring. I won't enforce any type of walking tour for my visitors.

But I understand the allure in path design. Can people that post here include a pic of their paths?

 

[Cottonball]

I would like to but I can't find a nice path..

 

[SockHead]

This is my first AC game that I've put down paths. I like it! I also think it'll cut down on the grass deterioration. Maybe one day I'll remove the paths and I will have a natural path made. one day.

First time ever using paths and I love them - I played the first week without paths and made note of where I generally cut through and just slapped them down there. I feel it really helps makes the flow of running around having straight shots to my different locations... and I think it makes my town look more offical and fancy, too.

Also, I wasn't keen on any of the paths I really saw so I made my own. They're a WIP, but I did know I planned to have purple/ white flowers everywhere so I followed that colorscheme. I might switch to a brick that runs left-right to see how that looks eventually.

 

[Marceline]

I do all! I place down a basic path, then work with it. (Getting rid of trees, planting trees and flowers, etc)

City Folk: completely covered nearly every spot was a path.

New Leaf: Not sure...

Walking around anywhere has it's toll, especially if your town has visitors frequently.

I use pathways both as a way to keep people from everything, (Because there's certain 'off limit areas') and pathways, in my opinion, makes a town blend together rather well.

This is the only picture right now that shows my path.

LOL. Hilarious picture, Superenguin. I love it.

I found the path I used: http://24.media.tumblr.com/c9c6f10238d2b36f425a5b4fa880bc63/tumblr_mloo5uykcc1s708wno9_1280.png

I used the darker color~

I haven't yet, but I do plan on putting down paths. I hate the idea of going to all the trouble of putting down a path and then having a villager plop their house in the middle of it. I have been putting a design (the generic green one everyone gets) around each villager's house, so when one moves away and another moves in, I can see if there is a pattern as to where they move into. I've only had one move out and one move in so far. So this will be a waiting game.
