New Mod: No Royalty & Legacy Burglar Fix

Over the weekend I was in a chat with a couple of other Sims 4 mod creators, and the topic was burglars. Specifically, someone had mentioned that they hadn't seen any burglars in their game for a loooooong time, like since the Royalty & Legacy EP came out. So, out of curiosity, I decided to dig into the game's logic around burglars, and found that there were two different mechanisms in play, one of them being a definitive bug.

I don't know when it happened, but while the tuning for the burglar situation itself says that the scoring check to schedule the event should fire everyday, there's code that overrides that and set it to only check on Wednesdays at 3am. Then, you only get a 10% chance of the burglar actually being scheduled. If scheduled, the burglar will arrive anytime in the following 5 days, making debugging scheduling failures especially difficult.

As for the people without Royalty & Legacy, there's a pack check that's meant to ensure that the regular burglar and Robin Hood burglar don't both get scheduled in Ondarion. However, this check fails upstream of where it should if R&L isn't installed, preventing the regular burglar situation from being scheduled EVER. So, I made a fix that allows the check to pass appropriately and let the burglar show up again! Yay!
