Has anyone tried to create...

...the red brick or rainbow brick path found in the Happy Home Showcase? I've tried a few times, but haven't really been able to create anything satisfactory.

I'm especially obsessed with the rainbow pattern, but haven't been able to find any replicas online. Has anyone here found something similar to it in Dream Worlds, etc., or created it themselves?

I think this path is based off the HHA Showcase tiles:

However, I'm not sure what you mean by the rainbow pattern -- I only remember dark red. But it's possible someone out there has used the same layout of tiles as the HHA Showcase, with a different color scheme.

Edit: Oh, never mind, just went to the HHA showcase, and the "entrance" has the dark red tiles, but the actual showcase part with the houses has an overall bluish version of the tiles, but with a variety of different colors.

Yeah, it's inside - I was going to post some pictures, but I haven't made enough posts to do that. Whoops!

Thanks for the help I wish we could edit the patterns we get via code. In the meantime, I'm going to keep trying to replicate it on my own. Surely it'll get prettier with practice? Part of the problem is the limited color palette provided when creating patterns, but I don't think that's enough to prevent creating something passable...

Yeah, I'm trying to replicate the stonework on the fairytale bridge for a path, so I know what you mean! It's hard to get the colors and everything just right. I'm sure it will get better with practice, good luck!

Here's another red version, if you're interested:

And from a blog I read:

If you scroll down, it looks like someone she WiFied with had a similar path to what you're wanting (who knows where they got it, or if they made it themselves, though).
