Re: [OPEN] [S] Pile Of Rotting Leaves Outside Lot, Can't Remove

So I remember this being a problem and now it’s different. My sim was raking leaves near the front of their house, close to the street, and the leaf pile generated into the street... and started to stink up.. and i can’t click on the pile at all. So now it’s been there since day 1 of fall. I’m more than certain it’ll disappear once winter hits (I’ll update once I get to winter) but being unable to even interact with the piles to make sure to get rid of them when they are not on my lot is a bug. I can interact just fine if they are on the lot though, but for some reason she raked them onto the street. She’s living in Britechester, the off campus house. 

edit: so I just tried to make the pile even bigger and now I can burn it. Still kind of frustrating that it decides to go on the street lol

    @SweetVeggieAmai I'm moving this to general discussion as the thread you posted in was a fixed bug that was a bit different from what you're seeing.

    Was that a one time thing or do you get this regularly ?

    @SweetVeggieAmaiI had this same thing happen at a house in Willow Creek. A tree had been placed very close to the sidewalk, so that while raking that tree, a leaf pile was formed just outside my lot. It was annoying to look at but other than that it was not causing any harm (i.e. no negative moodlets on my lot). There was also a fence nearby so additional raking did not enlarge the pile enough so that I could burn it (a second leaf pile formed inside the fence!). Thankfully it did disappear when winter came.

    @crinrict  I think this can happen regularly when raking a tree that has been placed at the edge of a lot and near a street or sidewalk. Other than being an eyesore, it wasn't causing any real harm and it went away with winter.

    After raking some more, the pile got big enough where I have the option to burn it now.  Deleting the lot had no effect.

    I'm having this same issue in Mt. Komorebi, but when my sims go to burn these piles that seem to have generated around the neighborhood, they do not disappear. This is annoying since it's ruining my sim's mood and the atmosphere at the festivals. 

  • This happens every time i play a game that hits the fall season. its really annoying.

    @Lilacgarden24 do they go away for you when the season switches from fall to winter though? This was said to be fixed by an update back in February 2019 that made it so leaf piles should get cleared when season enters winter...
