Stinky leaves.
...What?

Maybe leaves work differently in America, but I have never EVER come across dead leaves, in heaps, piles, composts or on the ground, moulding or otherwise, that has smelled anything else than "Forest" or maybe "plant soil" if composed enough.

The only time leaves actually stink in America is when something (or someone :s ) has "done their business" in them. I'm not sure who's brilliant idea that was. :/ Maybe they were trying to take the idea of animals using them as litter boxes and it went to the extreme (like some of the moodlets). *shrug*

The leaf piles are disgusting. I do not understand that decision at all. The only thing I can think of is the person who made that fabulous "design decision" has never actually spent any time outdoors in real nature. It was not a good choice. I am also not a fan of the way the clothing categories work this time around. I think they should have kept the outerwear category from Sims 3 and then added one for hot weather. I am enjoying the rest of the pack though.

My suspicion is that the idea was pitched either because "we need more obstacles" or, more likely, that person heard that "composts can smell".
Yeah they do. If you have an actual compost heap that contains things like kitchen scraps, bones, rotting leftovers and animal dung in it.
Again, decomposing plant matter does not, and cannot, stink by itself.
