No Cat/Dog Obsess/Fear Fireplace & Front Door

I don't know why EA made this such a big thing: my cats are always obsessed with the front door, and afraid/weary of fireplaces. Maybe I use too many mods that change behaviours, and not to mention a fireplace in nearly every room 🤣

I never understood why my cat was ALWAYS just hanging out near the front door - and it turns out the same sort of tuning (basically an interaction) exists on the fireplace as the doors which makes cats and dogs obsess over and/or fear these things.

This mod edits all the fireplace and door tunings that I could find which had these interactions, and I've deleted those bits - so cats and dogs are no longer able to do them.

I don't have all of the expansion packs, but I was able to find tuning specific to a few packs I don't have, and I was able to add them in this mod - but please let me know if I have missed one!

Because I have edited the XML directly for each door and fireplace tuning, the mod will conflict with any other mod you have which does the same (this does not include ones where the creator has made their own tuning, and therefore the name and instance numbers are different); these are:

If new interactions are added to these by EA in the future, I will need to update these so everything all works as intended - otherwise, standard patches and game updates should not change the efficacy of this mod.

If you are unsure as to whether a mod will conflict with this, please comment with the link to the mod, and I am happy to check for you 🤗
