Will you be using ‘THE path’ ?

I really want to and probably will but to make room in my slots i have to get rid of my zen garden which I wasn't planning on doing yet... still, i think if i don't do it now i never will.
 
Probably not, I tend not to use custom paths because of how they sounded in game...I used earphones so the difference of the sound is quite obvious.

These paths are really pretty, but I just don't know how to use since they remind me of the grass deterioration in New Leaf which I dislike a lot. :ROFLMAO:
 
That path looks beautiful no doubt, but I won't be using it.
I'm kind of a purist when it comes to using custom designs in my town. Especially if it's not my own design. I want my town to look "organic", if that makes sense. So I try to work with what the game gives me.

Also, the plastic-y sound is really a turnoff when it comes to natural, non-stone textures like that.
 
i love this path, i think it looks amazing. but i don't like the lack of sound and the fact that the path doesn't show up on the map in a neat way like built-in paths do (unless i'm missing something?) like everyone else. stone pattern for me!
 
I'm highly tempted to. Although there are a few designs I can replace, I need more design slots – I'm already at full capacity!

Not being able to hear footsteps on custom paths isn't a concern of mine, either, since I'm already used to not hearing proper footstep sounds anyway. My entire island is already full of the darker dirt path that is filled in with the default clover design, since I'm going for an overgrown forest look anyway (the rainy days were also killing me, with all of the new flower growth).

I took a picture in my town of what it looks like when it's used as a straight path for you all.

I'm sure if I play around with it, I can make it look more natural.

Thank you for posting this! A lot of my areas and pathing rely on straight paths, and tbh, this doesn't look too bad.

I do want to move away from long stretches of straight pathing, but that'll take a lot of redesigning and moving of villager homes. ^^;
 
I don't plan on using any paths just because it's so much work to lay them down. ^o^;>

But regarding this one specifically, won't it look weird when the grass turns brown in autumn, and when snow is on the ground in winter? Are there versions of the path for every season? Won't it be a major pain to redo the paths every time the season changes? Or am I misunderstanding something, and the grass isn't actually part of the pattern?

The path has transparency so those grass bits are the in-game grass visible through the "cut outs," so to speak.

The lack of matching audio doesn't really bother me the way it seems to bother so many others. Maybe because it's a dirt path, so it didn't really have a satisfying sound to begin with. I know that I have a hard time using custom brick paths because they don't sound the way they look. Anyway, I think Denim_2 is an amazing artist, and I really admire how they made their palettes available for users to adjust and learn from.

The original artist has made a winter one.

 
Wait a minute... custom paths don't make sound?! I mean, yeah that makes sense, guess I never thought about it. That changes my mind on using them then. I love the pitter patter of my characters feets too much 🥺

The path is gorgeous and would probably look great with the forest themed Island I want. 9 slots is too much to use in only a few spots though.
 
I originally wasn't going to use this path because I was trying to be a purist and only use my own designs. I changed my mind when I realized that 1) I'm not artistic enough to rely solely on my designs and 2) the nostalgia of the path is something I need at the moment.
 
I do find it annoying that even though they added the custom paths to the path tool, they still function exactly like custom paths in past games - all have the same sound/effect when walking on them, and can be cleared by pressing Y (I think it was? One of the buttons!). I do appreciate the tool making it easier to use, but they really should have made them function like the other paths, and allow us to choose which sound and effect they have when we walk on them.

I've avoided custom paths in the past because none of them have looked natural to the game, but this one is great and really fits with the game perfectly, so now I'm annoyed with the flaws of custom patterns. Lol.
