[BH] [AA] Not paid for spinning class when instructor or employee teaches

Issue Description: When a Sim owns a business that offers spinning classes using the Gluteforce Instructor's Spinning Bike, the business owner is not paid for the class unless they teach it themselves. If the owner hires a Spin Class Instructor (NPC) or assigns an employee to teach the class, the class runs successfully, but the business owner receives no income from the class fees.

Expected Behavior: The business owner should receive payment for spinning classes regardless of who teaches them — whether the owner, a hired instructor, or a regular employee. Class revenue should go to the business owner's funds.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Own a business with the Businesses & Hobbies expansion pack.
  2. Place a Gluteforce Instructor's Spinning Bike from Adventure Awaits on the business lot.
  3. Hire a Spin Class Instructor (NPC) OR assign an existing employee to teach the class.
  4. Start the spinning class with the instructor/employee leading.
  5. Allow the class to complete.
  6. Check the business owner's Simoleon balance.

Actual Result:

  • Owner teaches class: Owner receives payment.
  • NPC instructor teaches class: Owner receives no payment.
  • Employee teaches class: Owner receives no payment.

The class functions normally in all other ways — Sims attend, skills increase, the instructor performs animations — but revenue is not transferred to the owner.

Additional Notes:

  • May be related to how class revenue is coded to route to the "teacher" rather than the "business owner."
  • Does not appear to affect other business activities — only spinning classes.
  • Possibly an oversight where the payment system assumes the teacher is also the business owner.
  • Workaround: The owner must teach all classes personally, limiting business scalability.

Impact: Makes hiring instructors or employees for fitness classes financially pointless. Severely limits the ability to run a scalable fitness-based business, as the owner cannot delegate class instruction without losing all revenue from that activity.
