I've seen all the guides please don't link me to them lmao

The problem is they all say slightly different things. Would it be more effective to run over them a few times save&quit, repeat that a couple of times and then tt 1 day forward and repeat? Would would running, save&quit repeat be more effective (without changing date)?

Also how long will it take to develop these dirt paths?

Hey, I don't even know. I tried to make a dirt path and spent 15 minutes running over the same bit just to make sure, I don't even know if it worked :/

oh rip, saving & quitting definitely helps tho because it makes sense
 
I usually run over them a couple of times a day, especially when it rains. No clue if the raining makes a difference, and then it starts to emerge after a couple of days :) And then I just keep at it

Okay thanks! Yeah, when its raining or snowing grass grows back faster ^^
 
In my last town I ran A LOT. Everywhere I went I ran. I noticed dirt paths forming so I started running then quitting. Start my game back up and then I'd run and quit again, repeat. I did that a few times a day.

This is what they looked like after a few days

I've never been able to get good even dirt paths :( but I have found that tting everyday and running on the same spot gets the job done fast for most areas. My problem is it was so patchy :( I gave up with how long it was taking and jusy got a dirt path qr code instead :(
