Grass Deterioration :(

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who actually likes the grass deterioration in the new games. I think it's really cool. I like lining my town with paths made of trees and flowers and bushes, and the paths I walk on withering away so the ground looks like a trail through a forest. I love it a lot actually.

I don't think they intended grass deterioration to be some player punishing feature of the game that makes you have to take extra care of your grass. I think they added it in to add some character to the villages, unique to you. Based on where you go and the most common routes you take there.


I mean, I wish there was a way I could deteriorate the grass FASTER than just running on it. I hate seeing grass on my paths.

I like the gras wear, I just hate it when it's in a place I don't like or in a place where it doesn't nice. And too much doesn't look nice, especially if you're going with a forest theme. I love when there's a grass path and and there's a bunch of trees and flowers around it. (This is just my opinion)
 
wait til one of your villagers PING you to move, say no, save and quit
TT 1 year forward, save and quit
TT 1 year back to present date - grass is beautiful again

If you don't want to play, another thing you can do it to wait until a villager pings to move out, say no, save and then don't play for a couple days. By not playing the grass grows back faster. I was sick and missed out on a week of playing and my grass was beautiful when I logged in again.

The "flower theory" has been disproved?

It works...just takes forever.

Yes! This works. I do it every few months to refresh the grass. If you have objections to tting, then your only option is not walk on the parts you want to regrow. But it's a real pain in the butt that way.
 
But the problem is that no grass patterns look EXACTLY simmilar to the grass. A perfect grass QR code doesnt exist
