Someone suggested in another thread that leaf piles spawn on top of each other, meaning if you burn one, there are more objects to be burnt. If the pile spawned 5 times in the past, you must burn it 5 times to see it gone. This can explain why some piles are harder to get rid of.
No idea whether this is accurate, though.
This sounds likely - the leaf pile I had to burn multiple times was one that I'd previously overlooked. They do respawn on a daily basis in the autumn, but if you get rid of them in winter, they really will stay gone until the next autumn. Nonetheless, I agree that there's no reason for them to respawn in the first place. It would be fine if they didn't stink and our playable Sims didn't have to get rid of them come winter.
