How to deal with rocks

[moonlightxo]

I've just placed a tiny amount of paths, and I'm planning to put river-ish paths next to them, but next to one path I have an ugly rock popping out of nowhere. I know I can't get rid of them, but does anyone know how to still make it look pretty? sorry for the lack of quality, I took it with my phone

I think this would be easier if you provided a picture. I usually try to place stumps or bushes near them which I find can really help. Also, a tall object such as a tree or streetlamp can move attention away from the rock, which can stop it from standing out.

Hmm, maybe try putting a PWP a few spaces infront of said rock? like a lampost or something? Anyway I think having a rock inbetween the river just makes it look even more like a realistic river, if that makes sense. My only other suggestion is maybe try to figure out another route you can take the path, or spread it out a little bit more? Anyway like the above poster said, I can't really give you proper advice unless you provide a picture though.

I've attached a pic to it now.

I would have flowers planted around the rock because that's what I did and it made it look better.
Man I hate the ROCKS THAT YOU CAN'T break.

This is what I usually do to deal with rocks near/in the middle of paths.

I can't do that because it's right next to a path I can't replace, but thanks.

I'm planning on making mine like an actual feature. Like a stopping place to rest on a hike with a overhanging tree near by and a couple of foresty mushrooms and dark flowers popping up.

Oh, that sounds cool too!

Design around them. Like what @Jesteroo said. While landscaping, if you plan to make them like a stopping place to rest it would look actually really nice. Put flowers and trees or even PWP near them and it wouldn't look that bad.
Also, just because it's next to a path doesn't mean you're stuck with it looking ugly. Some of the rocks in my town are next to paths like yours, but a bunch of flowers / trees / stump around it makes it look nice. I have this one area where there was one rock out of nowhere so I decided to build a stone tablet around the flowers near it and I wouldn't have it any other way.

usually i just surround the rock with hybrids or if im doing a path, i just ignore the rock isnt there and go on placing the paths. the are a pain in the damn ass sometimes so you're not alone on this. hopefully the next game would not have rocks and if they do, they better be just ore rocks or removable.

That's very pretty

Here's two examples what I've done in two of my towns.

Two rocks in the same area, I have like three areas that have two rocks in them.


Here's an example from my other town.
