Huge permanent dirt spots?

[Chrystina]

This has been bugging me for a while.

Beautiful hair, I know ty.
Eventually Mira's house will go next to Genji's, and maybe it'll blend in more but dang... Why is there so much dirt?! ;_; I TT'd to re-grow all my grass (or snow...rather?) so I know it's permanent.


Does anyone else have any like this? Any suggestions to hide them?

I have areas like that. All you can do is cover them with paths or, like me, cover the area in flowers.

Putting trees and bushes round the bottom of the patches might help cover it up more? As well as paths and flowers that is

 

[Chrystina]

Don't have paths in my town D: Very nature themed (or soon to be/wip) so I use clovers. hmm, I did try trees but maybe it'll look better in the spring. :c will definitely plant flowers there for now though!

It won't grow unkess you put plants there eg. Flowers, trees, bushes

It's caused by running, villagers moving ect.

Unless I'm mistaken dirt spots over time are from running, previous plots, etc yes. However there are permanent ones in your town, no matter how much you stay off of it/dont run/TT etc... which is what mine seems to be. :c

You're right. Every town has those areas. When you start a new game, you'll see them. If they're there in the beginning, they'll always be there no matter that you do.

Yep, I have several spots like that too. The grass never grew on there last year and I'm pretty sure it won't again this year.
It's just one of those things, I cover mine with projects or flowers/trees now

i have so many of those :/ they look better when the snow is gone, when the snow is there the contrast makes it look way worse. Im just going to try to place some trees to hide it. Makes me jealous of all the hackers on tumblr who hack out the dirt spots

I feel your pain. My whole town is covered in flowers but those darn dirt spots still hang around :/ I love your member photo btw :3

Thank you! I love yours too, haha!

I have a lot of those spots now, I just try to cover them with flowers & stay off them for now. The grass will be back in a week or so & the spots will look better then.

i put patterns over the spots like band aids before they get too bad... but idk about your situation. if it is bothering you maybe put patterns like i do

 

[AnimalCrossingPerson]

I can't find any large dirt patches in my town and I run around at the speed of sound. Even the patctteehes from villagers moving out disappear completely within a week.

Do those permanent patches evolve as the town tree grows?

 

[Crash]

i hate those spots ;;
i do find they look a lot better in the spring/summer compared to winter, because all the white makes the dirt stand out even more, but they're annoying either way. i also envy the hackers that can get rid of them as well as rocks :c but i'll usually try to cover them up with flowers or a PWP if possible, otherwise i just...try to pretend they're not there.​

 

[meowlerrz]

I have a few spots like that, I'm glad that it's normal though because I remember a long time ago I tried to get grass to grow thre and it wouldn't. just cover them with public work projects or flowers if they're really ugly

 

[MintySky]

The best thing to do would have to be putting either flowers, bushes, trees or paths to cover it up.

 

[Tikikata]

I hate those so much... Trying to ignore them does nothing for me, lol. I'm really picky when I get even the temp dirt spots.

I could be wrong, but aren't those spots permanent? I mean, I have them too and I don't run in my town at all. Maybe it's from villagers moving also?

They are permanent. .__. Well, some are. It depends really. You can tell which ones are permanent by checking when you first start your town, or safely TT ahead of time.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone~ I thought having one this large was out of the ordinary, but seems like it's not. D: Also didn't know hacking could remove the dirt spots. Jeez. No wonder all the DA's I find on tumblr are like beyond perfect. Kind of envious as well.. >_>

Unfortunately paths are a no-can-do cause of my town theme xD Maybe it'll inspire me to make a dirt/natural path.
Also hoping it does look better in the springtime (so closee!) with Mira's house and some trees and flowers.
