Mod The Sims - Annoyances disabler

Hey, everyone!
I'm hope you're all having a great 2022. Let's begin it with new mods.

Annoyances disabler can help you prevent some things which you probably don't like in The Sims 3. If you tired to disable paperboys for every family or you don't like the free ingredients which game adds to your refrigerator, give this mod a try. Of course it has another functions too, just look at this pics:

Functionality
A list of all functions and tunings is located under the spoiler below. Yes, this mod has a bunch of tunings so that you can customize it for yourself if you know how to edit xml resources. To do this, you need S3PE or another similar program.

Newspaper delivery disabling
Mod will automatically disable newspaper delivery for every family in your town.
Tunings: kDontDisablePaperboys - enable this option if you don't want to disable the paperboys, kLeavePaperboysForActiveHousehold - enable this option if you don't want to disable the paperboys for active family. Previous setting should be disabled.
Disabling game lessons and tutorial
Mod will automatically disable lessons in game settings and intro tutorial.
Tunings: kDontDisableLessons - enable this option if you don't want to disable the lessons, kDontDisableTutorial - enable this option if you don't want to disable the tutorial.
No free ingredients in fridge
Mod will not allow the game to give free low level cooking ingredients when you change households or start a new game.
Tuning: kGiveIngredients - enable this option if you don't like this behaviour.
Disabling message about new real estate system
Does anyone here remember the old system at all?
Disabling hairstyle notification in CAS
"Hairstyles can be set per individual outfit category or for all categories."
I guess you already know about this, right?
Disabling lifetime happiness points notification
"Your Sim has earned enough lifetime happiness points to buy a reward." also won't bother you anymore.
Disabling full moon warning and zombie spawner
Mod will automatically disable the full moon warning and the zombie spawner during a full moon. Second option is disabled by default.
Tunings: kDontDisableFullMoonWarning - enable this option if you don't want to turn off the full moon warning, kDisableFullMoonZombieSpawn - enable this option if you want to prevent zombies from spawning during a full moon.
Disabling weather stones map tags
Mod will automatically disable weather stones map tags. But this function doesn't work as well as I wish, so they may reappear in some cases. Just switch to another sim in your active family, or press Space / N, if there is only one character, after that tags will disappear again.
Tuning: kDontHideWeatherStoneMapTag - enable this option if you don't want to hide a Weather Stones map tags.
Weather stones disabling and destroying
These two options are based on NRaas Traveler mod, so they will not work without it. The first setting changes the Traveller parameter on startup, which allows to prevent the appearance of the weather stone before starting a new game. Second option is disabled by default, but if you activate it, then all stones existing in the town will be removed.
Tunings: kDontDisableWeatherStone - enable this option if you don't want to disable the Weather Stone, kDestroyExistingWeatherStones - enable this option if you want to delete all existing Weather Stones from your town. Previous setting should be disabled.
Disabling seasonal festivals start notification
Mod will automatically disable notifications about the start of seasonal festivals.
Tuning: kDontDisableFestivalNotif - enable this option if you don't want to disable notifications about the start of seasonal festivals.
Mascot intro disabling
Mod will automatically disable the university mascot intro and «Check out your smartphone» dialog.
Tunings: kDontDisableSmartphoneDialog - enable this option if you don't want to disable «Check out your smartphone» dialog, kDontDisableMascotIntro - enable this option if you ~~really like llamas~~ don't want to disable the university mascot intro.
Time portal intro disabling
Mod will automatically disable the time portal intro.
Tuning: kDontDisableTimePortalIntro - enable this option if you ~~like selling a portal and getting some extra simoleons~~ don't want to disable the time portal intro.
