I've been playing this game WAY too long to be asking this, but it's the first time I've really needed dirt roads in a design. I obviously understand how you can place dirt and create a path of sorts, but I can't seem to make the dirt roads that have that dark brown border. From what I can tell, those were first available during the Wild West event (which I didn't play). Does this mean that anyone who started playing after that event lacks this ability? I don't even have the icon for them...EDIT: Just to be clear, I know the difference between the dirt roads and the cobblestone roads (which I bought).

i'd give you the dirt road tile if i could.... never liked the look of them. dirt path tile, on the other hand, has become essential.

The dirt roads aren't realistic. Most dirt roads don't have wooden sidewalks. Only in old west towns would you find that.

Those would work particularly well in the zoo! I may steal your idea. ;)You know, if they ever rerelease the roads. *sigh*

I'd love to see the stats on how the Stonecutter and Superhero sales went for EA. I know I personally bought either everything or close to everything (definitely all of the characters). I think they'd do quite well if they decided to rerelease most event items on a somewhat randomized 1-2 year cycle during the "down" weeks, yet so much content has appeared once and only once while other things come back seemingly every event (I'm looking at you, Stem Conference w/ Brendan!).

And yes, I'd love to get that skin(ner)!! There's always so much more they could add with just a few blocks of dialogue and a small questline.

There were released to use with the Wild West event. So, they look like a sidewalk from the wild west.

A bug with Casino Nessie, the street cleaner, The Wiccans, and The Parson keeps them only on the dirt/western roads.
