Will you be using ‘THE path’ ?

[PinkStarburst]

Personally I don't like custom paths, I like the noise it makes when you walk on default paths and its VERY ANNOYING how easily custom paths can be wiped. So even though it would be great for my campsite I'll pass

I had been searching for a nice natural path for a couple days, and it was really hard to find something that had good diagonal options, but I came across an article about this path! I'm currently placing it for the main path of my island! I don't mind the sound because although it's not perfect, it's not like hearing hard taps on a dirt path. The stars on the border give me major Wild World vibes and I love it.

 

[LambdaDelta]

it looks nice, but the sfx for walking over custom paths just turns me off from them

not to mention being able to remove with 'y', even if you place via the island designer app

 

[pawpatrolbab]

Nah, I'm only using the paths from terraforming

 

[Serabee]

Ooh, I've actually never seen that before, but I may use it in my forest!

Of course, for my main path, like a lot of the others here I'll be sticking to the in-game paths. I also am a big fan of those cute little clicks when you run ☺

BUT I have a stretch of forest I've been wanting to spruce up, and these look perfect!

Wow, that re-poster didn't even credit the original artist.
and then they put that stupid watermark on it.
This is why I hate that, people did this with my qr codes!

I like the path, if only I had more space.
Here's the original artist's twitter.

Oh no, that’s rude of the reposter . I’ll edit my original pictures to include artist and not that Instagram. Thank you for letting us know

It looks amazing wow! But for me there's just something off putting about using other people's designs on my island. I don't really want to use any external designs except for clothing maybe? Haven't found the need so far.

Also I love the default path options because they actually have appropriate sounds and behavoir based on the substance it's made of. The sounds that custom paths make weird me out.

I know it's nitpicky but whatever, it's how I feel about it

 

[bobthecat]

I’m using it and I really enjoy it! I’ve seen a couple variations too, so I think I’m gonna switch to one with flowers and villager footprints.

Wow that sounds super cute, if you have a picture/code please share on here

 

[lPeachy]

No, at least not on my current island, but if my BF gets a switch you better bet I’m making a second island with this path in mind~

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

If it kept the dirt sound, I would

Here’s my favorite variant. Found on twitter but have forgotten where.

Umm I hadn’t seen it but I love this path!

What natural path are you talking about?
Have they made another one that doesn't look like a straight unnatural pattern?
Or is this a QR code?

 

[coderp]

Oh... This is lovely... But sadly, I already had to opt to go without corner pieces for my main path because I don't have enough slots.

Why do I feel like more QR slots is just not gonna happen?

In my original post the photo includes a custom qr path(not one of default ingame ones), but a lot of people have been using it because it looks natural like it could be actually part of the game because it flows so nicely

Here you can actually see the contrast before and after of in game dirt path and the qr flowing more naturally, I can definitely see why a lot of people are choosing to use this despite the sound effect issues

 

[Envy]

Yeah... The in-game dirt paths are so... square. They look incredibly unnatural. I barely used them at all, and that's saddening.

 

[sunchild]

i won't be using them just cause they wouldn't really fit in my town.. the only area i could see myself using them is for my campsite area but i can't justify taking up 9 slots only for one area.
it's a really, really well made design though and it looks amazing in cottagecore and more natural looking towns!

I feel your pain, using custom qr codes is so fun and its sad its so limited, especially with the amount of creative ways people are coming up for the simple panels. Even if they let us swap out some clothes qrs for path qr that would be at least something.. just don’t think they’ll be paying attention to this right now if they’re busy in making new updates/dlcs

 

[SmrtLilCookie]

I may have just gone around and changed all my forest paths to this path... Even with the lack of footsteps, the design is completely superior to anything that is available through terraforming (in my opinion, at least).

Here’s my favorite variant. Found on twitter but have forgotten where.

I love this variant!! I would so use it, but it’s weird that there are no panels for the left side of the path, for either the flower or footprint design... How did you get around this issue?

 

[Hirisa]

Yeah, to me this is one of the few custom paths that makes my game look more like an Animal Crossing game than less like one. I’m sure at some point I’ll get restless and replace them, but that’s fine. I am not in a hurry to “finalize” my town- I always want it to evolve and express what interests me in the moment.
