Animal Crossing paths

Animal Crossing paths are one of the best ways to change the look of your island.

These custom player-made path patterns for Animal Crossing offer accents to the default pathways. They’re designed to go well with bridge and inclines offered by Tom Nook, too.

Be sure to check out our first Animal Crossing paths post for even more pathways.

Stepping Stones
