Thanks for watching! I'm always livestreaming the terraforming of this island over on Twitch @ www.twitch.tv/ryanftw, so if you'd like to see my method of using The Path in real-time or have any other questions, stop by sometime and say hi!
The path is one of those things that it takes practice to use, but once you get it, its actually fun to put together and you can be creative and fun with it .. and the nice thing about the path variations is, when fall is over, all you have to do is choose another style and save over the other ones to the exact pieces and your path will change style without having to redo it all over ... I love the path and I love all the styles!
Or you can do what I did by actually sitting there, agonizingly coloring block by block to make my own homemade path🙃 Now when seasons change I can just adjust color using the color palette or color select and adjust the shade. (Also I'm too poor to subscribe to nintendo online)
@@chamodhimanodhya7224 psst, did you do your 7 day trial? And admittedly, it's not that expensive. It's also more fun when you can go trade and possibly hang with other players. Visiting dreams is also nice. I ran over my trial and accidently paid for a month. Was gonna cancel the auto pay and buy the 3 month. But considering how much I'm using it right now and how little cost it was, I don't care. Will get the 3 month next time. And on a side note, I made my own path in NL. Couldn't be bothered this time. I suck at pixel art. The best I did back then was bricks.
@Logia dude Considering how many New Leaf players used pattern paths and other pattern displays in their towns... they should have seen it coming. At least in New Leaf, each resident had their own pattern slots. I had a second character for patterns and storage. Was originally my turnip mule, but I didn't need any more money. I also used ables to hold patterns on the displays. Looked horrible, but I needed the space. I was considering making another character shortly before I stopped playing.
What really helps me is laying it down straight (the “incorrect” way) first, and then just replacing some spots with more interesting curves here and there. Hope this helps someone else too! 🥰
That actually did look easier when he had the path made already straight, and then he kicked away the spots and added. lol I will have to watch again. I think these paths look so hard, yet so easy when someone else is showing it.
@@lexii712 The ones Nintendo added. This path shown in the video is badly pixelated. My OCD doesn't do well with it. Also, there is really bad screen taring with it.
One of the few things I love more about New Horizons than New Leaf is the fact that I don't constantly kick up my paths by accident. I'm afraid that if I use the custom paths, I'll be right back to accidently kicking up paths again.
I was neck deep and totally invested in my terraforming and then suddenly Tom Nook told me I could only have 8 inclines. Could that info have been communicated earlier?! Totally took the wind out of my sails. Millions of bells and so much time wasted. Now my island is half terraformed and super weird and it’s staying like that. I’m so over it.
Omg that happened to me. I had my museum all decked out and I used two ramps on each side and had a sitting and viewing area, it was beautiful. Then i was told there was a limit so I had to tear them down because they weren't as necessary as some other spots. I was so sad. I like my museum area now, but I LOVED my old one 😢
I've watched you on stream revamping your island and placing the path down, but I still couldn't master your technique. You just explaining the order on how the path gets put down in this video is a game changer for me! Ryan, you are so smart! Thanks for this video!
Something I’ve found that helps me is to lay out a scatter of the center tile in the general direction I want to go. I don’t necessarily put down every tile nor are they connected, but it gives me a direction to go. Then I’ll put down the corner parts down, giving the windy effect. Sometimes the center tile gets over-written if it direct fit, but having a bit of a sketch to work from really helps.
Honestly I stopped trying to use The Path because of the annoyance of using the island designer app so this was super helpful...might have to try again also- super impressed with the progress on your island!! The last time I really checked in you had flattened everything and just started using the path so it's amazing how much you've done
I used “the path” on a majority of my island and these tips will help me make jt look a whole lot nicer! Rn it’s a little to straight. Thank you for the tips! :)
This was the most helpful video I’ve come across .. I usually don’t bother with custom paths because I’m horrible at them but the second you suggested to use more end pieces I tried it and my pathing looks 1000 times better thank you so much !!!
I am in the process of flattening my island and finally decided to try out The Path but was feeling so overwhelmed...then I remembered you posted this and it helped so much! Thanks, Ryan!!
This was so helpful, thank you!! I was trying to use a version of "The Path" and it was NOT looking good lol. This video came out at the perfect time 👍
Thank you for making this video!! I've watched speed-builds with The Path and I love the look of it but when I get to my own island, I can't figure it out! This is really helpful.
Very helpful. Thank you. If I had not seen this I would have just made a boring straight path. Not I feel more confident in making this kind of path which looks so much better.
Omg thank you for showing how to just place the path down rather than using the design app! I never thought to do that and I wish I'd known about it a month ago. Best tip ever! Thank you!
Very well done video. Instructions examples are so clear. I know it took a long time to put this together and a great deal of thought. Thank you so much!!
Maybe a hint to replace the path with another Design would be nice. I mean, that you dont have to lay down the path again of you only want to use an other Design. But beside that... I just enjoy your Videos and live streams so much. Thumbs up :)
Ahh you're right! Completely forgot about that! Definitely helps once the seasons change and you need to change your path to match. EVERYONE LOOK AT THIS COMMENT IT'S IMPORTANT
@@ryanftw_ Yeah, I love how there are very few things in the game that can use custom designs that don't change when you change the design itself! (that was a bit of a mouthful)
i have a couple of design codes i use that are worn patches or single-block-wide paths to vary it a bit - that way if the path is too wide i can put a patch in the middle to break it up like that, or if the spot i want it to go is only one block wide rather than two, i have one that'll fit
you could combine the two at the end there use Island editor - if you need the same tile a couple times, 'cause you know where they belong. and custom designs - speedy changes
Thank you for this video! I’ve been watching a lot of your videos lately and have been wanting learn which path you use, a long with how to make it look great!
This video was super helpful! I was trying to make a cool path going through my mushroom forest but it just looked funny and odd, so this was super helpful! :)
@@moonlighttiger5278 im pretty sure you can put them down above of the other paths, so if you put them under the place where you’ll put the middle tile they might follow it. Ofcourse it also depends on where you place what part of the path
Thank you so much for this video! You’re them first animal crossing TH-camr I’ve watched and liked the content. Super helpful, anytime I’d see people using “The Path” I’d doubt myself in being able to replicate it. Thanks a lot! I’ll be subscribing 😎
I’m not sure if this is just me but there’s 1 reason I really hate custom paths, it’s the sound, the regular paths all have different sounds when you walk on them but all of the custom paths just sound like walking on a vinyl floor, they may look nice but as soon as I start playing and walk on a custom path It ruins the effect cos you instantly realise it’s not dirt or stone or whatever the path is
Its actually really easy. If you just replace each peace of the path in your design app with the equivalent piece of you new path it will automatically swap.
everyone that uses the path should watch this video. I’ve seen a lot of island with unnatural and straight laid paths 😬 not organic at all, sometimes not complete with cut off paths
It has been like 4 years now of me trying to enjoy this game and i watch this video all the time and it makes me genuinely want to cry. I cannot get it. My island has barely changed over the years bc it’s so tedious and just not fun for me . I want to play so bad but it makes me miserable
I thought this video was very informative and loved the tips. But at the same time I feel like the way paths look whether it be a straight line or not is up to the personal preference. Anyways, great vid tho!
Just when i think my island is perfect with all the beautiful custom designs i’ve found, you gotta go and show this off haha. This is so beautiful but sacrificing that many design slots.... i’d have to redo everythinggg. I have almost 800 hours on that game and so much of it was spent laying down custom rock paths and other cute accents. Seeing your island inspires me though. Maybe in the future i’ll go crazy, wipe my custom designs, and turn my life upside-down :>
Thanks for watching!

What is the Autumn Path creator code?
Hi I love your channel I also am on twitch and watch you byeee!
What is the code jou are using for the flower corners?

This is why we need more custom design slots!
Yes! 😁
I hope we do in the next update since we were able to get more storage space in our houses
I totally agree!💕
Nintendo hear our pleas!!!

The first damn video I've seen that actually helps me understand paths and how to lay it out in a natural way. You're a godsend, my dude.
I have no intention of using the path but still gonna watch lol
Lol im right there with ya!! 🤣
Same 😂

I'm not even up to that 😄
That's a good point. I knew about it from watching TH-cam, but if not for that It really would have come out of nowhere
same, I had to change my Island quite a bit after finding out about that :(. Also, the fact that you can't move inclines and bridges makes me so mad.
Omg that happened to me. I had my museum all decked out and I used two ramps on each side and had a sitting and viewing area, it was beautiful.

the sound of the custom path is not bothering you? It made me crazy and I stopped using it 😭
The explanation of where it will be laid down when you’re using your phone was priceless-id just been giving it my best guess until now
I’m so new to this game I’m so glad there’s such a big community for this game
This was SO helpful!! Thank you! I'm just a few days into getting the Able sisters on my island!! 9:40 was the best advice!! Thanks again!
never thought to combine different path variations!!! i love that idea. and really great tips about avoiding straight lines

So helpful !!!!!!!!! Thank you . I did the straight path at first . Your video is a game changer for me .
Thank you so much - decided to try the ‘path’ and was taking forever...this is an awesome time saver.
Great tips I’ve struggled with my path for so long never thought about mixing different paths together

This was more helpful than my 21 years of schooling.
Lol
Thank you!!!! This was so helpful. Ive watched so many videos and nothing comes close to yours!
Love how much you have been uploading! Your island looks so good! If only you can come decorate my island too lol
I got a zen path right around the time Ryan started his terraforming... he terraforming looks 10x better than mine 😂 I’m going to start over again.

I made my own path and this tutorial is super helpful. I am going to fix my layout and add some additional corners. Ty!!!
Ahh. I've been putting off putting the path on my island because I don't have the patience to place it but you made it look so easy.
Thank you! I finally understand The Path and how to lay it!
I've played this for over 2yrs and could never do paths, going to give this a go tysm
the video I did not know I needed so hard. thank you :)
Very simple guide to follow, I'll have to give the path another chance on my island using these tips.
i always thought people who could just stand there and place paths were geniuses, i could not for the life of me figure it out hahha thanks Ryan!

I wish that custom paths that you lay with the designer app were permanent like the standard paths
What do you mean? I havent unlocked terraforming yet so i genuinely don't know anything about permanence 😅
@@fiemy6888 When you lay down custom paths, you can accidentally kick them away, while with real paths you can only do it with terraforming on.
@@ozpin707 Villigers also don't follow custom paths like they do with the Nintendo path.

Thank you very much! This is really detailed and informative.
The path stresses me out haha
Great tips! Next vid could you show us the new things you’ve made in the right bottom corner on your island? Lookin to make it
Tip six: have talent

I am cracking up I found the exact path you were using before I clicked on this video
Everyone! The code for the "Kait Path - mush" path he uses is MA-9503-9811-8839
thankyou
The only pain is having to change it when the grass changes
Its actually really easy. If you just replace each peace of the path in your design app with the equivalent piece of you new path it will automatically swap.
everyone that uses the path should watch this video. I’ve seen a lot of island with unnatural and straight laid paths 😬 not organic at all, sometimes not complete with cut off paths
Thanks for laying it down for me
I have 600+ flowers on my island... oh boy this terraforming will take awhile.
I swear I can't get the hang of doing these paths in curves. It's so frustrating
I do that also for 100% decorating my island for sure
