There are 2 diffeferent inssues with the piles of dry leaves that are driving me completely crazy:
1. The piles of dry leaves are eternal. These piles of leaves form in the public areas of the world and remain there forever. Winter come, and the leaves will remain there, no matter what. And the most ridiculous thing about this story is that these piles of dry leaves will only disappear if I ask my active sim to set them on fire. Tell me, what's the point of making my active sim do a neighborhood cleanup? My sim is not a public cleaner to do this job.
The proper thing was the game itself to DELETE those piles of dry leaves that are in public areas as soon as the winter came. In my lot, okay, I can do the cleaning work myself, but leaving those piles of leaves forever in the public area gets on my nerves.
2. Who had the stupid idea of making the leaves stink? It only made the neighborhood look ugly in the fall. All the piles of dry leaves that are scattered around the public areas of the world begin to stink and release that green smoke with flies. Sims npcs start playing with the leaves that stink as if there was no problem at all. And again, our active sim needs to remove the leaves from the entire neighborhood, because if we do not do that, they will stay there forever stinking, even in winter.
Please do something about it. Winter with leaves that smell in public areas is horrible. The leaves should disappear the next season, and should not smell bad.

I hope my Sims and lots aren't too terrible!
A mod? Really? Do you have a link? Please
It's genetically impossible for dry leaves to smell bad. I don't understand how did this feature get into the game
I could understand if it ended up being like the 'poohoo bush' or a pet peeing in it to cause it but I though tit was weird they start smelling badly due to just being there.
Turns out lovesick dogs like to hide in them!

During fall, my sim had to burn these stinky green leaf piles in his neighborhood every day when he came home from work - because once you burn them, they return within a few sim hours. It makes no sense and it certainly isn't realistic! I especially don't get why they have to be stinky and disgusting - one of the best things about IRL fall is the smell in the air...
My one sim hates being outside now because of stinky leaf piles.
And yes, these terrible leaves need to be repaired. The bad smell needs to be removed, and they need to disappear when winter comes.
Fall leaves are so beautiful. In the North East of the US, people travel just to see the leaves as they change color. Walking through crisp, fallen leaves, you can smell the fresh autumn air. I have never seen (or smelled) a stinking leaf pile -- maybe in a compost pile, but it certainly is no longer a "leaf pile."
And, because I'm sure someone will say that leaf piles really do stink (it's alright, I believe you), who on earth would want that in a game? Especially ones you can't get rid of?
Whoever thought that stinking, forever leaf-piles were a good idea? And, better yet, whoever approved that decision so that it ended up in the release?
