I didn't vote as I think somewhere in the middle would be nice? you could do dirt paths or paths lined by bushes for a more natural look but you'd still have paths, there's also natural looking QR paths like the ones moonrisekingdom just posted above! you can just search and you'd find some natural ones if that's what you'd like!!
hmmm, idk i think certain paths could look really lovely with the theme you've chosen. however, i must say natural towns are beautiful and very well taken care of. its up to you at the end of the day but maybe a mix of both could work?
