It's post time! One of the biggest complaints about Animal Crossing New Horizons is that you can't put carpets outside. This is disappointing for fans because that means you can't put picnic blankets or anything outside even though they're included in the game. However, some players do have outdoor rugs. So how are they doing this? Well, they're using custom paths. But how can that be when some rugs are on top of other paths? I'll explain. Custom paths can be used to make rugs. But if you want it on a different path for something like a custom store or a park, you have to make sure you can layer it. Custom paths can be layered over regular paths if you make the background transparent before you apply it. It doesn't matter if you have empty space in the design or not. Before you start designing your rug, make sure you choose the transparent color option, and then use the fill all bucket on your empty design. Then you can design as normal, and now it will register as a transparent path when you layer it over another path. This can also be used for other things, like adding windows to your walls over outdoor themed walls inside of your house. If you download a custom path rug from another player, it may not be transparent, so make sure you test it on one area before creating the full rug over the path. I hope you all find this little guide helpful! As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!
