Anyone Can Threaten

I saw the Threaten interaction once and it was years ago. I was shocked at how aggressive the interaction is, but I loved its storytelling potential. Too bad it's locked behind a career I never play.
Well, now it's not! This mod makes the Threaten interaction available to all Sims. It also deletes the Criminal career icon on the interaction and changes the text of the buffs to reflect it.
Technical stuff: this does three things to the interaction. The reason why the interaction wasn't available to all Sims is a Test Condition. They're literally tests that the game gives a situation, buff, interaction, or loot, and if they meet the conditions of the test, it passes. In this case, the code included a test to see if the Actor (the Sim performing the action) was in the Criminal career. That has been deleted, which results in everyone being able to do it.
The second is that the icon has been deleted. This is straightforward: if there are icons next to the text in an interaction, the code has told it to be there. I just deleted that code.
Lastly, I changed the string tables of the buffs. A string table is a table of text—that text is what appears in-game. I went into the strings for the buffs and rewrote them to reflect the non-criminality of the interaction. This does not modify the buff in any way.
This mod modifies E882D22F!00000000!000000000000734B.mixer_social_Threaten_targeted_mean_career.InteractionTuning as well as 0xA3573FEE and 0x4B3A4191—anything else that modifies the Interaction Tuning will conflict with it!
