Smarter Robot Vacuum

Description
These mods were created because I would notice the Robot Vacuum completely skipping over piles of trash, fur piles, or puddles. To minimize compatibility issues, it has been split into three packages, along with a single all-in-one package.

The SmarterRobotVacuum package removes the random routing behavior the vacuum has. It will instead go straight for anything it can clean. This also means that it is less likely to ignore piles of trash since it won't be wasting time moving to a random point to perform a "scan" (the scan has always been cosmetic, and occurs when it reaches a destination and can't find anything to clean)

The FurPileVacuumFix enables the vacuum to route to fur piles (in my case, from a dog with the Hairy trait). The vacuum was always able to clean the fur piles, but only if it's random routing happened to take it close enough to one. When choosing an object to route to, it was unable to detect the fur piles, thus they would often get missed. This was fixed by very slightly enlarging the fur pile's footprint (I have no idea why the vacuum ignores things whose footprint is too small). In my most recent test of the mod, I also found my sims were now picking several fur piles up to take to the garbage, instead of one at a time. Aside from this, I have noticed no other changes from the small increase in the footprint size.

The SalvagedTrashVacuumFix simply enables the vacuum to clean piles of trash that have already been salvaged by Sims with the Handiness skill by adding the correct tags to the object.
