Paths make a huge difference in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. They guide visitors, mark out specific areas, and can also be used to decorate homes and gardens. The game offers some unlockable default options but for many players, these simply aren’t vibrant or unique enough.
Cultivating the perfect island is a pass time that’s keeping so many people sane right now and trawling forums for the perfect custom codes is a huge part of that. However, for those who want their island to be a little extra but don’t have the time to hunt, we’ve done the hard work for you. Here’s our pick of some unique custom paths that are sure to add a quirky touch to your island, no matter your taste or theme.
10 Moon Surface Path
A path that resembles the surface of the moon wasn’t something we expected to find but you can’t deny that it’s both unique and beautiful. If you want to feel like your island has an even more secluded part this path is for you.
We’ve imagined a secret quarry filled with moon footprints and astral items, maybe you could even go stargazing there? It sounds perfect and we’re sure Celeste will approve.
9 Zodiac Tiles
These astrological tiles cover the entire western zodiac, all twelve signs. The designer also created the stars and moons path that surrounds them with several options being available on their profile.
The paths would be perfect for fortune-telling areas or any island that is home to a fan of astrology. You could even use the zodiac signs to mark the signs of island residents.
8 Chalk Patterns
We know these aren’t technically paths but they are a great way to add a little flair to regular paths, especially in park areas. Sometimes you don’t want a full custom path, for instance, if you want to match your stone bridges, but you need a little something extra.
These designs provide that little twist you may be looking for. There are a few to choose from and you can add them to any path, making them incredibly versatile.
7 Snow Path
This may not be as complex as other paths but its simplicity is stunning. There are several villagers who are fans of snow and many are favorites in the community. How great would it be to surround Roland with a winter wonderland?
The snow path complements the surrounding grass well, perfectly capturing the look and feel of a soft layer of snow having fallen overnight without having to wait for winter.
6 Daisy Path
For those who love a stone path but want to make it far more adorable this daisy path is for you. The creator has made a cute tiled path then added optional accents to add daisies to the edges and different heart designs.
This works well as a path leading to a home, adding a cute touch to a garden or home entrance. Make sure to check out the different options under the creator id to find one that fits your needs.
5 Fairy Mushroom Path
We love the punny title of this mushroom path as much as we love the path itself. The broken-down mossy stone blends well with the mushrooms giving it an enchanted garden feel that’s very fairy-like.
This would make a beautiful basis for a little enchanted forest, nook, or fairy garden on your island. Versatile and cute this is a great option.
4 Rainbow Path
If you’re a fan of bold and vibrant this rainbow path is for you. It looks fantastic here as part of a fairground but could also be used as a path to mark the home of Pietro as a warning for those who aren’t a fan of the controversial villager.
With so many bright and vibrant items in the game, there are sure to be many uses for this quirky path that somehow manages to be both pastel and vibrant colored simultaneously.
3 Circuit Board Path
For the geeks among you this circuit board path will add some uniqueness to your island. It contains several variations making it incredibly flexible for any tech or futuristic themed areas.
It could also be used to mark the homes of villagers who like to keep a house full of servers and cameras (we’re looking at you Graham, or maybe you’re looking at us, we can never tell.) Just make sure to check for hidden cameras as you navigate your island.
2 Lattice-Style Path
This lattice path was designed to match Margie’s house but it’s much more versatile than that. The design tiles well and adds a nice unique tiled feel. We could see it as a path leading to a spa area or bamboo farm.
If you don’t like it as a path it would also make fantastic flooring for a bathroom or kitchen.
1 Cookies And Chocolate Path
This cute path has a bright pink sweet design, using candy tiles to create quirky bricks. For those who prefer a more muted version, there’s also a chocolate variation with a brown color palette using dark pink highlights.
Both paths are quirky and fun, able to be used to create walkways that are sure to become a talking point of your island.
