Why are paths so difficult. WHy.

Lately I've been trying to lay down some paths in my town for the first time and I've gotta say, it's incredibly difficult...

Not so much the actual process of laying them down (although that IS pretty tiresome). I just find it really difficult to plan out where I want my paths and envision what it'll look like when it's done. I always end up laying it down, not liking it, and pulling it back up. Ugh.

I need to hire someone to lay down paths for me, lol.

Visitors can't lay down paths in your town. o-o

I'll find someone, drag them to my house and give them my DS! I'm so desperate.

Argh.

only you can put stuff down
eh i like to have intersections kinda? all my paths connect to each other. so its neat and easy to navigate through
paths took me about a day to finish

xD Haha, for me it wasn't so bad I guess because my town is a bit narrow? So I didn't have many options to begin with. x.x

 

[ladybuggy]

It doesn't seem to be a problem for most people! I dunno, I guess I'm just a perfectionist xD

I just lay down my paths over the routes I take every day. Not too hard, I finished in about an hour

Connect your paths, starting from the houses and buildings, then connect them. Thats how I sorta did it.

you can also get someone to come over and lay out flower paths for you to fill in later.

Ugh I know what you mean OP. When you have to lay down paths for a whole town, it seems sooo overwhelming. What worked for me was picking out a public work project or house and just setting down the paths around those first. Then coming back another time and adding a path going away from it. Just take your time.

I don't think I will ever get around to doing paths. I play sooo lazily. I've only completed the campsite. No joke.. lol..

I agree with this. I have narrow paths to begin with and I had lots of wide flowerbeds and stuff to build around so I started from those and connected paths from there. You could also start by putting down paths on the ways you travel most; I take a specific path around my town anyway when I go to water my plants, so when I went to water I just paved as I went. You're welcome to visit my dream town to see what I mean. It's a few days outdated atm but it gets the point across. I haven't even finished landscaping it yet, but I think you'll start to appreciate your work once you get the basics of it done. That enough gave me the motivation to finish it.
