How to Get and Make Paths in Animal Crossing New Horizons - Unlock Paths

The upgrade to get paths in the game is a new one for the series, but the bad news is that you’ll need to do a lot to unlock them in the first place. I talk through everything you need to know about how to get them and make them for your island in the video. It's the start of a great journey that will help you to build your island even further.

Once you land the unlock for paths, you'll be able to make them pretty easily using the tool that the New Horizons will introduce you to. However, you can also get a refresher in the video to help you to get used to the way things work in the game.

The how-to on paths is designed for all players, whether you’re close to the unlock or you’re right at the beginning, but you’ve seen paths in the trailers and want to know all of the steps you need to go through to get them.

everyone here: it taking so

time traveller: it take less than an hour

I started a new game and unlocked paths in the time it took for him to explain how to do it.

[Reklemer]

You all realize that this is less than 7 min right? Most content creators would make it 10+ min. It explained all requirements while remaining on point. Good video man, thank you.

[calilovett]

Wow. I've got so much to do! Considering the quarantine, that's actually good news. This game keeps my brain busy!

[AveryCreates]

I've only been playing for a week and I really appreciated this. Thank you! Town hall is expanding for me tomorrow.

This video was longer that my grandpa’s life expectance.

[RebaDerps]

Yo I just been using custom designs to draw my paths and choosing to display them on the ground for free. :/

[AEPiJedi]

My wife appreciated this, thanks! Saved my marriage!

[AzureViking]

Heey same island as me! Yeah this is cool but a little annoying that it takes so long to unlock

[rttnxfri]

Sounds like you’re presenting a school project 😅 thanks for info

[Molowa]

Nintendo: Makes pathway making easier
Everyone: YES!
Nintendo: (FIne print) Needs to unlock it further in the game.

[DylanDurdle]

I was a complete newb and used custom pattern designs to lay paths. I am still at a 1 star and I didn’t know paths unlocked with 3 stars until now.

[ProblematicBaddie]

I'm sorry about the comments thank you for telling the details and not just skimming over it all

[icecube]

You could of started by saying unlock the Island Designer App THEN explain the process..

[ItIsClaudia]

Thank you for the video! Some people are complaining about it being too detailed, but it’s actually really helpful. It’s exactly what I was looking for!

[El-kvkf]

I am very slow- it took me a week after I got the museum to get nook’s cranny.. because of the iron nuggets were hard to get for me TwT

[LindaVita-keit]

I've got so far in animal crossing but I didn't know I how to make paths, and this video really helped!

[individualpersona]

This is really helpful. Long winded, but if someone were starting the game from scratch it would be super good info! Thank you! I didn’t know I needed to increase my rating to get the tool 😂

The saddest animal crossing time I have experienced was when I saw a fish with a fin and I DID NOT HAVE A FREAKING FISHING ROD
