Less Frequent Butler Meals

Mod Details
This mod does 2 things. Firstly, I increased the hunger requirement needed for the butler to cook a meal from half a bar to yellow. This gives the player plenty of time to grab leftovers and thus informs the butler his cooking services are not required right now. Secondly, I added an age check to the butler's "hunger scan" to ignore toddlers, in order to prevent him from cooking a meal that the toddler can't even eat. If you like having the butler as a nanny and thus don't use Boiling Oil's mod don't worry he'll still feed your toddler like normal (the nanny behaviour is coded elsewhere)
Recommended Mods
Cyjon's Butler Fix - I had to download this mod during testing because the butler won't cook bug was affecting me for the first time ever.
Boiling Oil's Butler is no Nanny mod - The second half of my mod is basically a fix for Boiling Oil's mod. Without it you'll only notice the changes to the hunger requirement during gameplay.
