...theres an event at the plaza (like redd's tent, or booth from fireworks) and it leaves a break in the path by the town tree? Bothers me so much, seems like I'm fixing it every 2 days or so.
Yeah it's definitely annoying when that happens. I used to have both a ground & water path around that area, but I eventually switched it to just being a ground path since it was so annoying having to fix it all the time.
I end my path before the stone, so my paths don't disappear. I use up all 4 characters with paths on them all, though, so it annoys me when I am expecting a new villager and I have to kick out one of my characters to get the house in a good spot and then re-place the paths.
My paths around the town tree are set up in a way that it won't be affected by most of the tents, so I guess it's not a bother for me. Of course, this is assuming most of the events pop up in the same place that Redd's or Katrina's tents do.
My path around my plaza is fixed so it goes around the bug off tent, which I think I the biggest? The only annoyance is Isabelle's cutout stands take away from my path as well
