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.

Wohoo in the leaves don’t work or at least it didn’t before last update. I haven’t checked it after.

I also made a post about it. I just can not stand those piles of leaves anymore. In addition to stinking about the entire neighborhood, they do not disappear after the fall, they simply stay there forever unless one of our active sims burns them.

This is frustrating. They did not have to stink. And they had to disappear after autumn. It's a big bother.

I think they look awful in the neighbourhood and I would really like to see them disappear with the next season.

This is getting old. If we wanted piles of leaves, we can rake them on the lot and then play or burn them. We don't need random piles of leaves. No one is raking them. I can see if I saw townies raking them but just spawning them is a bit silly.

As @Simmerville said, the leaf piles HAVE to look misplaced in Oasis Spring. I haven't played there yet but I was hoping the leaf piles would not be in the desert. UGH

Thank you the more attention this issue gets, the more likely they will fix it. At this point, I just want them to remove them from the worlds completely if they cannot figure out how to make them disappear after the fall season is over.

The rate they spawn is out of control. My Sim found one near her house in spring, I must of burned it at least 6 times. At first I thought burning wasn’t working, until she started to grab ash out of the middle of the pile to throw away. So I guess many piles had spawned on top of each other in the same spot. I was never able to get rid of all of them because it started to rain, and my Sim was starving from being there so long anyway.

@SimGuruNick, can you please elaborate if this is a bug or intended?

I was wondering if the piles of leaves were having the same issue the plants were having. They just fixed the bug where the plants were spawning in threes and I think the piles are having the same problem. I find I need to burn them three times but if I let a few falls go by a new pile spawns over the old one and I have to burn it like six times as well.

It really needs to get fixed already.

That makes sense, it had been fall twice in my save too.

It's so frustrating - where would the leaves even come from in Oasis Springs? They look very misplaced. The random spawning is out of control, nobody is raking the leaves and then all of a sudden, BAM, piles of leaves I cannot get rid of. And why oh why do they smell? I have never in my life walked past a pile of leaves and thought it smelled bad.
