theres a method that you can try to get clover paths (or others to try first on a cycle/weeding town to see if it works alright)
- set beautiful ordinance
- put down flowers, mushrooms, items, seashells, patterns, whatever on the areas where you DONT want a path
- wait until someone pings to move, tell them to stay, save and quit
- TT ahead like a couple months or whatever, i wouldnt personally go to the next year
- walk around, there should be weeds n clovers in the space for the paths
- pluck any non clover weeds. the clovers on the ground can be lucky or not, doesnt matter but just dont pull them up
- find someone who will ping to move, tell them to stay, keep trying until you have a good amount of clovers where you want your paths
your paths may not have 100% lucky, movable clovers and they may not be completed but you should reserve some spaces around town and hope that lucky clovers spawn there so you can move them to fill in the holes in the paths. also this way, nobody should move out and no flowers will wilt bc of the beautiful ordinance. ppl say that beautiful ordinance gives lucky clovers more of a chance to spawn than without it
