Temporary fix for leaf piles

Google this site: deichschafblog This modder has two mods for the leaf piles. One is so they do not rot and one allows the player to click on and remove the piles you don't want. Both have been tested in my game for several hours and so far they have worked flawlessly. On the first day of winter, every leaf pile in my worlds disappeared completely and did not return. The site is in German but the mod descriptions have been translated into English. Credit for finding this goes to Evie0602 who replied to my request for assistance in a discussion I started last week. :)

I realize many Simmers don't like to use mods in their games and I understand their concerns. These mods are a good temporary fix for the leaf piles until the devs can find a solution and we get a new patch. I have been keeping up with the gurus' tweets and they are working on this issue. But they don't know when we will get a fix for this problem. As I stated, I have had these in my game for a couple of days and I am not seeing anything out of the ordinary going on. I have several other mods I use and there have been no conflicts between the leaf pile mods and the mods I have always used. When the devs do release a bug fix for the leaf piles we can simply delete these mods. But I thought I would just put this out there and let everyone decide if they'd like to try them.
