Have you ever reached the Blacksmith seconds after it closed, wishing there were paths to it to save that second that matters?
Or have you ever felt bad for Evelyn and George because they have to travel on the unmaintained dirt path outside their house?
Possibly even found it weird that the main tourist attraction of the valley had dirt paths leading to it?
Or just wanted a nicer looking, well maintained town that Lewis should be taking care of?
Well today is your lucky day! Introducing Paved Valley!
Using revolutionary new techniques (Dropping stones on the floor) using locally and ethically sourced materials (rock from the mine up the mountain) you too can live in a town that looks quite pleasant!
Fanfare aside, this mod adds paths to heavily trafficked areas around the valley, throughout the town, up to the community centre, towards the railroad and bus stop, even around the entry to the forest. Paths like those in town give a (tiny) movement speed buff to your player which can really add up over longer distances.
This mod uses Content Patcher as it's only dependency but does add support for recolours and expansions.
Caution
You may come across certain "bugs" like bushes being in the wrong place, if you make a new save with this mod these won't be present, however if added to an existing save you will need a mod that allows you to remove them, this is a game limitation that I can do very little about without adding another mod as a dependency.
For any other issues like tiles not looking right or colours looking off, go ahead and submit a bug report in the "Bugs" tab with the title starting with (Bug).
ToDo
Below you can find the ToDo list that I use to keep track of features and localization, If there's any expansions, recolours, or to help with translation (there's a few words to translate, that's all) submit a bug report with a title starting with (ex), (re), or (i18n) respectively.
