Stop turning on the stereo at night!

What is this?
This is a global mod that disables autonomous use of the turn on interaction on stereos between 9pm and 9am. You can still direct your Sims to turn on the stereo if you want to, but they can't turn it on by themselves. It does not turn off the stereo if it was already on, though, it only prevents them from turning it on if it's turned off.
This is intended to make life easier in situations where noise causes problems. For example Sims who live in one room apartments/houses or have a stereo in their bedroom and will be unable to sleep if the stereo is on. Or preventing Sims from turning on the stereo at a party after hours, causing the police to come and shut it down. You will be in full control of the stereo during night time.
Should affect CC stereos as well.
Compatibility
Compatible with all EPs/SPs. Comes in three versions, which one you should use depends on what your latest game is. To see when different EPs/SPs were released, see this Wiki-article.

Conflicts
Conflicts with christianlov's no autonomous stereo.
May conflict with mods that affect stereo autonomy. If you are uncertain if a mod conflicts, or you find a conflict, let me know in the comments and I'll look into it.
Credits
A huge big thank you to maybesomethingdunno who helped me figure out the problem when this mod was throwing me for a loop. I really appreciate it

Dedicated to my Sim Alicia, who loves her stereo so much she'll play tug-of-war with me, turning the stereo back on right after being instructed to turn it off. Never mind that she lives in a loft that only has one room and can't sleep with the stereo on. Maybe now you'll finally get some sleep, Alicia.

About Me
--- No longer sharing content on MTS ---
I hope to return one day but for now consider me retired, and my uploads unsupported. I still share things sometimes on tumblr and I chat on discord servers, but I do not promise support for things I've shared as I don't know when or if I'm around and whether or not I'll have the ability and energy to do something if I am around.
If you ever downloaded something of mine, thank you! It's a great feeling seeing something you spent time on be useful to someone else in their game, and with all the great CC out there I'm very flattered you would choose to get something of mine.
I do not take requests. I do sometimes make things for people, but only when I see someone wishing for something on the forums and I feel like making it for them. So if you have a mod you wish would exist, make a post in Hacks and CC that you'd like to see!-thread. That's what it's there for after all! :)
A shoutout to VioletPadfoot for inspiring me to try creating, long ago. You gave me the nudge that got me started, and I'm very grateful. I'd also like to thank all of the wonderful experienced creators (gdayars, justJones, maybesomethingdunno, NixNivis, whoward69, HugeLunatic and many more) out there that wrote the tutorials I've used, or that has answered my questions when I've gotten stuck. You guys are what makes learning fun, and what inspires me to keep expanding my knowledge with new projects. Special thanks to Michelle who has helped me a lot when it comes to objects and recolors, and BoilingOil who taught me some modding basics that I needed when I started modding more seriously.
Policy
My policy is now open. I'd appreciate a message telling me about your work, because it's fun for me to see, and it means I know about it and can refer others to it if they reach out. As much as I would like to provide support for my own work, my health is too unstable and I have to prioritize. So if anyone else would like to fix problems or continue something and share it with others, that's great go forth :) If you can learn from my work or improve on it, wonderful. Welcome to ask questions on crafters, if I can I'll answer.
I'd appreciate if people do not share default replacements from my stuff as I do not like default replacements, but I can't stop you anyway so no point in acting like I could. If you want to respect my wishes, I appreciate it, if you don't care then well nothing I can do about it.
Other sites
Only share content on tumblr now. Still retired though so probably nothing, but if something new comes out, that's where it'll be. You can find it linked here on my profile.
