Fix "You invited me to spend the night" dialog.

The Story :
In real life it is common that at certain time everyone "should" be in his beds, but its not
necessarily true in computer games. Sometime we want to allow sims "stay over night"
for many reasons, like let them shop in our 24h opened stores or just be there for anything.

Unfortunately, game not really distinguish betwin "being invited over night" or "being indirectly -
allowed to stay" (eg: customer), It just assume that its allready time to go to bed then begin nagging.
If we expect to leave our computer for half of hour and gain some incomes from shop while afk,
then too bad - we may find our game pause itself every fiew seconds and await us to press OK.
Should we giveup under everydays attack of "nagging grandma dialog" - who pause
our game to complain about "why these sims arent in bed yet !". ( ~but they have to shop )
then close our stores and send everyone home, or send this "naughty" dialog to bed instead ?

If you have Apartment Life, Bon Voyage or Free Time and want enjoy 24h activity without being
bothered by this message all the time, this fix will disable "You invited me to spend
the night" dialog from appearing (or optionally change it to less obstructive version.
(text notification which do not pause the game)


What it do :
It disables from appearing (or optionally change into non blocking side screen notification)
nagging dialog box "you invited me to spend the night..." which constantly pause the game
under certain conditions without taking into account that we let these sims to "stay there"
while at the same time we "not really" invited them. (eg, overnight shop customers)
