Am I the only one who'd like to have something to make a path from a corner of a road to some building? I think it could be an 1x1 field, like the smallest flowers field, but in some shades of grey. You know, just gravel

No, your not. But you can mock up one by putting down pavement and putting shrubs or flowers on it

Was this a hidden advertisement for "Fifty Shades of Grey?"

But yes, I would love gravel, too.

No, absolutely not I'm just not so good in English and I don't know any alternative words for "shadows of grey" with the same meaning...

Haha. No, you were right, I was just messing

I agree

Iwanted a little path to lead to the haunted forest/creepy house

Ive seen some friends who've fudged using bushes, but id like something better

They could do with my ground options in general:
-Sand
-Brick
-Cobblestone
-etc

Snow (my 'Christmas area' looks odd now)
Red Carpet (for Pimento grove)
Mud

There should be a whole range of options haha.

I like that idea

ID LOVE THIS OPTION. So many times i have to directly lined up buildings in the middle or i have had to shift the building to the left/right bcuz its not lined up properly and I need everything to be centered. Its rlly annoying to start a design then redo it because the path wont go into the proper position you need it to, with 1x1 pathways id be all set and would not have to limit my idea to the dumb pathway restrictions they have now :twisted:

It was the first thing I thought I needed when I bought the place along with velvet ropes.

The road and pavements are annoying they only work in a 4grid formation

All you do is place down pavement and place flowers/ shrubs/ etc. around the edges.

But I do agree with brenner_yes about it being annoying to redo a design just to match a building with the pathway.

Agreed with this thread. I think it would look nice cause some of the entrances of buildings look oddly placed next to the road or pavement...

I have been wanting this for quite some time now. Within my SF, I have my school up against a forest. In this forest is Muntz's house in which I would Love to have a path passing in front of his place. I wasn't necessarily thinking gravel, I do believe a dirt path would do me better, but a gravel path would be neat.

I also want a bird bath. I have a perfect spot planned out.
I wouldn't mind a stone wall as opposed to the brick wall surrounding Burns' manor.
One of those swinging love seats type thing that people have in their back yards with the canopy or whatever over it (I understand the hammock, I wish to put this item @ the old folks home. Can't picture the old people clamouring out of a hammock. They may fall and break a hip! :P )

Unfortunately, cannot recall off hand of other minor items that I think would improve the whole feel of our SFs. Much too tired. Cheers!

P.s. Driveways into parking lots.

I think an array of options would be great, single tile pavement, gravel, dirt, sand (I've been wanting to create a beach ever since the volleyball item was put in). While much more doubtful, I really wish ea would also make some objects turn in 4 directions. I hate that you can put a shrub right up against a fence from one side, but not the other. If that happened they could also give us 4 directional curved floor tiles, so I could make a curved driveway for burns manner, or round off some other places in town.

Four directions? Here, here!
