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

This pattern is a four-slot pattern that offers a cute stone path to your villager’s house or through the forest. The path is clean and transparent without any of the white jaggies that plague some others. It blends well on grass or the default dirt pattern.

Brick Path Border

This intricate brick path border takes up 16 creative slots if you download everything. You can probably get by with using only eight if you just want the cardinal directions. It gives paths a well-curated look instead of the overgrown look of the default paths.
