Natural dirt paths?

[beemayor]

I recently realized that no pattern path was ever gonna do it for me, I'd never be content with how they look. So, I've started to develop some natural dirt paths and I'm wondering if anyone else has them or know of any dream towns that have them. If you do have them, how long did it take you to get them and how hard are they to maintain?

And also could I visit your town/dream town for reference.

I heard they take about a month to develop. However, I don't use them.

I've seen a couple really nice ones on tumblr. Let me see if I can get any of their dream addresses.

My old town had dirt paths - it took about a month

Im going to do dirt paths. I am too lazy for patterns XD; But I also like the look of it. I've seen some really nice looking ones.

I believe this town has them. I've never been there, though, so I'm not 100% sure.

Although some people can pull them off and make them really good, they're kinda pointless because as soon as it snows they're essentialy erased
Which means you have to run around again to re-make them

Oh wow, their dirt path is so straight! O:

I always try to get straight ones but they end it in big circular batches and it gets annoying to regrow the grass again :x

I tested it on my cycle town (which is ready severely messed up) and I went into winter. Dirt patches were still there, so I went into April and the dirt patches were still there. So, I would say that it's safe to do dirt paths without fear that they'll be covered up by all the stone and have to be redone.
