What is your view on paths?

[tae]

i love paths. they're a struggle to get right sometimes, but i love how customizeable it makes each of the towns you make.

I like paths (and make patterns for them) but I hate how you can't put them right up to houses and stuff. I especially dislike how they can't go in the square just before and after bridges...

I also make several version of my paths for each season so they always blend in properly.

I use paths that match the default cobblestone. I'd say under a quarter of my town has any sort of path on it. I like other kinds of paths and the towns that use them, but I find that you have to really strictly develop your town in order to make those paths look good. If there was a residential zoning feature, I'd love to deck out my town with more and different kinds of paths, but with the game as it is, plot-resetting is just too stressful. The default-lookalikes give the town a less urban feel, so I don't feel compelled to make streets that require intensive plot-resetting and PWP-placement for villagers to land their houses on. A sprawling, "unplanned" town of cobblestone and natural grass (not custom grass patterns) is less of an eyesore than a sprawling, "unplanned" town of sophisticated pavement and/or custom grass.

In short, I like paths but don't use them much because the game is such a butt about plotting and planning.

I have fake-dirt paths in my town; they look alright, I guess, but I'm not the best at laying paths in a logical way.
I really like paths! They look nice when done right.

I like paths! They work really well with certain PWPs and you don't have to look at erosion all the time.

i love qr paths, it makes my town seem so organized, and my current paths are really pretty. not having paths seems so hard! i would run over flowers and never know where to go lol

I use paths because I wanted to put trees, flowers and bushes all over my town, and I needed to use paths so I didn't have to run over any flowers. I would use dirt paths, but I don't have the patience to wait for the grass to erode.

 

[Delibird]

I love paths and the way they look in other people's towns! I just don't know how to do them in my own!

 

[Shimmer]

In my old town, I used a cute pink brick QR code but for my new town, I think I'm going to tackle the natural paths made by grass deterioration. I LOVE the way they look with bushes outlining them.

I have paths! They were a hassle to make but it was very worth it!
I use them so I don't get lost in my town or step on flowers accidentally.
It's a lot more efficient for me cause I can run and get to where I'm going without confusion
Also, I think they add a little personality to a town~

 

[KaydeeKrunk]

If I had the effort to I would make dirt paths but to be honest AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT! Well, not me anyways. But I love paths, I usually download them but there is always SOMETHING wrong so I need to just nut up and make my own, cause I want a cute two thick path with a one thick option for tight spots that I still want a path... But for my dream path I would need... 19 pieces... SO MANY PIECES! SO MANY SLOTS TO PUT THEM IN!

I'm not keen on paths in my village but love seeing them in others, some villages look totally amazing with their paths.

I like paths but don't have them in my town. Why? Because I'm too lazy and not creative enough to think up ways to make paths work in my town.

 

[fable]

I always try to place path down in my town but I always have trouble deciding where.. nevertheless I do like paths because they make a town look much neater and more organised. Right now, I'm trying to collect lots and lots of clovers to try and pull of a natural theme. ))

 

[MOON TRIPS]

paths are really neat! but I won't ever have 'em. I made crummy paths in City Folk, but I ended up just going around freely regardless most of the time. also they're annoying to set up, and since I like keeping villagers random, if they move on paths, then it was only even more of a waste of time. so nah.
I walk around a lot of the time anymore, and don't have flowers everywhere, so being without them isn't really a problem.

I like realistic-looking paths, like red or white bricks, or none at all. I don't like a lot of different designs all together because they usually look tacky. I put down a path once, but I erased it within a week. I have a full town (2 characters, 10 villagers, lots of trees, and several permanent PWPs), and it's hard to place a path with everything I own. But it's okay because I really like my simplistic town.
