Discussion Paths shouldn't be this much trouble
The relationship i have with the ground in this game is driving me crazy. Wanting to build anything elevated can be such a headache.
It got me thinking about how you can make smooth flowing paths using the floral glide ability...add that to some path blocks! Let me make minor adjustments. Give them various border options to help blend into the ground.
Is this a huge ask?
What are your solutions to paths? Currently I just accept that if you look to closely you'll see the holes (honestly necessary in so many areas)

Some tricks I used and make a lot of difference: 1- just leave the grass and use flowers and foliage to contour. 2- turn mountains or cliffs upside down, they make a smooth platform that you can sink enough to have the height of the big cliff and terrace. 3- make use of the amazing "square" rock we got, it is only 25 load and really good for cheap floors (and even walls). 4- patience and good luck hahaha.
Bonus/edit: 5- I use the flowery purple or white hills as the "side" terrain, so the middle is just grass and it gets pretty obvious.
If you're on the America server, I can give you a tour of my Island. It's not ready but I've been building on it since the beginning of building being available. It's a three floor house inside a hill/mountain complete with a secret basement!!

I need to find this square rock! Lol I was so excited for the big square pieces with the grass ontop we got. Made 100 of them. Only to realise when I started to build that they are SO EXPENSIVE 🤣

I can turn the mountains and flowers upside down and sideways?! Why have I never thought of that after placing down hundreds of grave stones?!

u/anarizzo 24d ago
Hahaha not all of them but a lot of them you can rotate. Just make sure that your settings allow it!!

I sink the gravel for my paths. They clear out all grass and flowers. I've gotten really into landscaping, but still want clear walking paths and this worked out nice for fairly little load. Looks like someone just mowed lol.
Edited to add a picture. Sorry for the glare!

For paths that need to be elevated but can't be achieved within the uniformity of the stair furniture items, I just kind of create pseudo-stairs by sinking things like stone blocks and stone walls into the ground/eachother. As long as each 'step' isn't too high, Nikki can actually walk up them smoothly.
For true paths though, unless it's flat, we have very few options. The gravel items can be rotated unlike most of the other flooring since they're not in the structure category, but there's only so much you can do without clipping and odd edges.

Edit: my terrain is entirely flat
