The problem with dirt roads is Stampy, Nessie and the street cleaner do not leave them. Something in their code keeps these characters there all the time. I did not like it so dirt roads were replaced with dirt paths bordered by the wild west fence.

I've tricked them by hiding single squares of the dirt road behind buildings. Example, the Preacher that drives the golf cart, pretty much stays in a single square I've hidden behind the glass church. If he leaves, i send him to the church, then put him back in the cart.

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).

There are dirt roads which have brown sidewalks and are similar to the regular roads. There are also plain dirt paths. Hope this helps. :)

I agree. My question is, why don't I have the dirt roads with the brown sidewalks? Are they only available to you if you played the Wild West event?
