poll: do you use paths?

[Twilight Sparkle]

I use QR paths as well, I switch them sometimes, but I do like the ones that I have now, so don't plan on having a new path soon.

 

[Rafflesia]

I make flower paths.

 

[Melyora]

I have QR paths as well, though I would also like natural dirt paths. But knowing myself, I am more prone to run all over the place, thus eventually having a complete dirt town XD
So I have QR paths in place, but I might remove them someday to reveal dirt paths! Because with the paths I am able to run over the same ground everyday, I hope it will eventually make dirt paths

I like to use QR paths. At the moment, I just reset, so I have no paths to put down. Waiting to get access to the QR scanner. I'm a bit worried about my current town + paths. I don't know how convenient it'll be. There's quite a lot of rocks everywhere, but eh... Maybe it'll be alright. I don't know if I wanna reset again.

I have dirt paths with flowers on both sides. It's really cute, I like it. It's annoying when villagers plant flowers right in the middle of the path though.

My ideal is to have "natural" dirt paths, but I don't think it'd look good while I still have so many random dirt patches everywhere :/ So I have a one-tile design path, with flowers all around off the path to get the grass back there.

 

[debinoresu]

I wanted natural dirt ones but I COULD NOT get the grass to wear no matter how much I ran on it so I just placed down a qr path

 

[rynnyvinny]

i use QR paths but my town's layout kiiinda prevents me from laying paths in spots i need so my path is pretty much permanently unfinished TT~TT

 

[lazuli]

i used to havve qr code paths but id rather have a more relaxed and better lookin path. plus i dont really like the sound the grass makes wwhen you wwalk/run

 

[TykiButterfree]

I use paths only because having my town covered in dirt annoys me. I wish I could just run everywhere and not kill my grass or flowers. A dirt path might look cool. I am starting to get one under my paths anyway since I always run on them.

 

[Zero_Dude]

No paths ATM, but going to do QR paths like before

 

[Ettienne]

I use QR paths, but I've removed pieces before and like how the dirt path underneath looks. Only problem is maintaining dirt paths, and I dislike how they look on the edge of the cobblestone near Re-Tail or the plaza, etc. I think I'm going to stick with the QR paths because they can be customized and make for a unique town.

I never use QR code paths. Why would I do that? For me, the most fun in Animal Crossing is designing and creating my own paths. I love doing that and have spent many happy hours late at night, working on new path designs and colors.

My town(s) always have 2-3 block wide paths between the public buildings (like the museum, Able Sisters, Nooks, the Town Hall, the bus station, the coffee shop, etc), the beach entries, the bridges, and my characters' homes. Usually I do not have paths to the animals' houses, but then sometimes I do a single-wide path to them. I always cover the fake stone on the plaza and the train station entry with a prettier design, too. I leave the stone outside the entry of Re-Tail alone, so that I can more easily drop items there.

I'm starting to lay down paths in my town and I think that it looks better, but it's a challenge to figure out where to lay them all out o.o

 

[Clara Oswald]

I have qr code paths, they are great!

 

[marigoldilocks]

I use a combination of QR and self made paths. My paths are border paths - single wide and I use those to connect village houses to main paths. The main paths are a grey brick and stair QR and the matching cobblestone QR. I use those to connect my train station to my town hall and made it very formal with street lamps and PWP's to give it a developed downtown feel; same with my statue fountain - it has topiaries and the brick/stair leading to the fountain with a bench, still developing the feel of the trees and flowers, but I like that it's very formal. Whereas I want to make a dirt path to Stonehenge, it's sort of in a secluded area and I like the idea of the natural path, like it's a secret to find.

 

[virulus]

I use QR paths right now but i can see the attraction of dirt paths, I think I'd find it really hard to make the dirt paths without my town being fully set up, so I don't know :s

 

[keandra86]

I never used to be a big fan of paths, but I had a few really cute ones saved, so on a 5-hour flight I went to town and paved away! It's got the basics, but it's always changing!

 

[FraudulentDimetrodon]

I use QR paths (I'm garbage at pixel art otherwise I'd make my own). I have to use paths otherwise I'd have no grass left.

 

[doctor creeper]

I don't have the patience or artistic eye for placement to use paths, so nah. They seem like a lot of work to put down, and I'd have to make extra characters to hold the patterns and it just seems like a bother.
