#natural paths

Okay, I just started using the save editor to make dirt paths but here’s some helpful tips I've found:

zoom in your browser when you go to lay the paths in the editor. the map is super small and I find it a lot easier to accurately place the squares if i’m zoomed in to like 250%.

keep the map open in the save editor when you go to check your paths in game. This way if something is messed up you can fix it on the editor while using your game as a reference. It makes it easier to visualize on the map where the path needs to be (like if you need to move it to the left/right/whatever) if you’re looking at it in game.

Yooo, people with natural paths: I've heard that it takes about a month for the paths to start appearing, but how long do you run in the area? Like a certain number of times back and forth or for a certain amount of time?

Mayor Rose's Natural Path Tips

I get a lot of questions about the paths in my town, so I decided to write up a thing.

Run, don't walk.

Line your paths, preferably with solid things like PWPs, trees, or shrubs, but flowers are okay too.

Tile pathways will not prevent path wear, but in my experience, they do slow it down a little.

The more you start up your game, the faster your paths will wear down. I turn my game on and off 3+ times a day (instead of playing for a longer time all at once), and my paths wore down super fast.

It takes forever. It takes about two weeks for really noticeable grass wear, even if you run on it every day.

That's really it! There's another guide on the basics here, and I'm sure there's lots more, but this is what I've gathered.

I feel like the snowy weather causes natural paths to start having some snow on them... It seems like that is happening in my 2nd town so this could be a problem for my natural paths in on my main copy :/
