No autonomous get mail

SCREENSHOTS
Did your Sims get a nice post card, or a free meal coupon, only to see it vanish into the depths of your roomies inventory? Or do you just not want your Sims to empty their mailbox without you present? I give you, no autonomous get mail.
I made this for myself because many of my Sims live in apartments, and the way I play my Sims get a lot of date cards, free meal coupons and post cards from other Sims (thanks to MogHughsons postal system). But when a Sim has a roommate, they autonomously empty the mailbox and these items intended for my Sim gets placed in their inventory. If I see them doing it, I can have them gift the thing to my Sim, but sometimes I might not notice and the thing gets lost. Either way, I don't want them to grab the mail because it's never directed at them, so I decided to mod it out.
What is this?
This removes autonomy from the interaction "Get Mail". It is a global mod, it affects all Sims.
Compatibility
The mailbox pie menu changes with every EP due to testingcheatsenabled, so each EP has it's own version. While I intended this for AL and roomies, I figured I might as well make one for each EP in case someone wants it.
You should use the version corresponding to your highest EP. If you have MG, you should use AL version. If your highest is a different stuff pack, let me know and I'll see what works for you.
Conflicts
This will conflict with any mod that affects the pie menu of the mailbox. If you find a conflict, let me know and I'll make a compatible version.
Thanks to
AnoeskaB on TSR for the tutorial I used. iCad for introducing me to the tutorial. The Sim Moa from my main hood who modeled this creation.

About my creations
--- Currently retired from creating due to health reasons ----
--- 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.
