Sooo about those piles of leaves. Do they ever go away? They are places in the world where there is no trash can. I burn them to ash and then I cannot throw away the ashes because of no trash can. Please do something about this. I was worried about this when I saw them in the world during the live stream. I mean who wants piles of stinky leaves all over the neighborhood.Oh and tried to places an outdoor garbage can using the set as head cheat but yeah that cheat is not working either.

Yes, I didn't expect them to turn I to stinking piles after a while. Now they are everywhere...

It is driving me crazy. I remember having to rake those open areas in Sims 3 and I was hoping not to have to deal with that in Sims 4. At least in Sims 3 when you burned the leaves, they were gone. Sims 4 leaves these little piles of ashes everywhere..sheeeeeeesh. Also, Why is there no option to throw them away when you live close enough to a pile to throw it away? I had to burn it to ash which takes a few burns and then was able to throw away the pile of ash.

At least you can burn them. My Sim can't even do that. The near-constant rain in Windenburg makes it impossible.

Hopefully they will look into it before I get there...lol@SimGuruNick Can you guys look into this please? There is no way to get rid of the leaf piles.

I have actually stopped raking the leaves completely. Apparently if you don't rake them the game naturally removes them in winter. But if you rake them into piles you are stuck with them for all eternity until you can burn them.

This doesn’t work for areas outside your own lot though. I have one of those non-editable tiny parks next to my lot, and it’s just covered in rotting leaf piles. I have one that spawns in the road outside my lot in BB and I have burned and tossed it out multiple times, but it just respawns.

Yeah this is what is happening to me too. I wish they actually just disappeared and to make things worse I don't even think random sims are raking them into a pile. It is just happening automatically.

Yeah I've noticed this too. Its a prickly pain in the backside. I just burn them all, but sometimes thats too much for a lazy Simmer like myself.

You know what also annoys me about the burning, I have to burn them like 2-3 times before I get the pile of ash.
