This ACNH custom designs guide highlights some of the best path design codes so you can get the most out of designing your island.
Unlock Terraforming to Make Proper Paths
We recommend you use Custom Design paths after rolling credits on the game and unlocking terraforming. This is because putting designs down before then can become frustrating since those can be accidentally removed by you if you need to pick up an item that has landed on that path. Once you unlock terraforming you'll get the option to put down Custom Designs as proper paths.

The Custom Designs app lets you make your own designs or download some via QR codes. Once you unlock the Able Sisters shop you can approach the Kiosk and Post any of your custom designs, Search by Design ID, or Search by Creator ID. You need a paid subscription to Nintendo Online to access this feature.
The Able Sisters Kiosk lets you get and share designs originally made in Animal Crossing: New Horizons via a Creator ID or individual Design ID of all kinds.
Saving other players' designs is totally free. No bells, no Nook Miles! All you need is an empty design slot.
How to Get Paths
You always have the option to select a custom design and choose to Display on Ground. However, you can get a proper path by unlocking the Island Designer app and using it to Start Construction! Press the (+) symbol and you'll have some paths to choose from. Remember to purchase more from the Nook Terminal when you first unlock the Island Designer app.
In addition to preset paths, you can also select Custom Design and use all of those to lay down a proper path.

Single Slot vs Multiple Slot Designs
The following path codes are separated based on whether they're single slot or multiple slot designs. You only have 50 Custom Design Slots available (can be used for anything) and 50 Pro Design Slots available (can only be used for clothes/hats). For this reason, you may prefer single slot paths over elaborate multiple slot designs.
