I've noticed random ash piles around my sims house from time to time. there was even on on the counter. the options i get are "throw away" and "play in". what are these? i've had no fires and no one has died. and they seem pretty small. is this supposed to be "dirt" when a room gets messy? like how the sims look filthy if they need a shower?

I think they are not bugs but ash piles since they came in the Dec. patch (?) in the one where Sims get dirty smudges etc. I thought that was a nice touch because you can see dirt smudges near the door the Sims go in and out etc. I actually liked that part of the patch. I think it is a new feature and not a bug because employees will have to clean something won't they when the GTW EP is released. :#

It's not dirty dishes, I hope the gurus don't remove it, but wish these Sims were more 'aware' their house is dirty. What's the point of dirt if they don't care? I like to make my Sims suffer... >:) No, not all, o.k about ninety percent. >:)

i mean if it's a game feature that the developers added in an update I'll be fine with that, and if it is a feature, can we please sweep it up instead of just picking it up with a trash bag lol. i mean i am the one simmer who wants my sims to vacuum and mow the lawn and do laundry so yeah lol

Those leave a pile of stuff too.

It's a bug, Ive seen people ask for help a few times. Pop over to the bugs section and I'm sure they'll help you :)

Are the trashcans overloaded? I'm just asking

It even happens with this Nano-Trashcan (which AFAIK is self-emptying/recycling) ... so I guess, it has nothign to do with this

These started popping up in my game as well. Except mine are all over my counters. I don't have any filth buildup either.

Huh. So that thing I read where if you put a rug just inside the door, they'll wipe their feet on it. (I can't believe I forgot that last time I played! I was going to put rugs all over!) I wonder if that would make a difference?

Heh, my Sims can't tell the inside from the outside of the door so, I'm not sure if this would help.

The piles look like this:

It's been reported in the EA HQ bug report section: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/Dirty-Game-Dust-Trash-Pile-Accumulation/m-p/4321126#M8618

I\'m having these now too...since my sim became a plant sim I've noticed it, but I've just started playing this family after a long time so it could've been happening for a while...

I love your Siggie. That is my favorite Disney movie of all time. I was six when it came out on the theater circuit. Yes, I got to see it at the movies!

As for the pile of ash I agree with Lutienrising, it's likely leftovers from a repair.
