There's a leaf pile outside my sims' home lot which has started to stink, but it can't be removed no matter what I try. I can click on it and my sims can burn it, but it still won't disappear. I even tried deleting it by shift-clicking the pile and picking "Destroy Object (Debug)", but it doesn't do anything.
@simvasionThank you so much for the advice, there were indeed several leaf piles stacked on top of each other!
It happens to me too and I just wait till winter and they magically disappear! Having said that, a whole season of rotting leaf piles doesn't give my sims a good reputation. I've taken to buying non-desiduous (can't spell!) trees to stop leaves. Leaves are the bane of my (sim) life!
