Title no longer displays in object mod

I was updating Select-a-Sim for Late Night and everything is working fine except the title no longer displays in the selection button when you click the object. I still get a lot of downloads for this even though Twallan and Pescado have up to 24 sims displaying now - so I kind of feel obligated to update. I think that must mean there are a lot of people playing houses with more than 24 sims in them, as scary as that sounds...

This is the code I am using:

Code:

 private static string LocalizeString(string name, params object[] parameters)
            {
                //return Localization.LocalizeString("Gameplay/Objects/Decorations/ActivateSim/ActSim:" + name, parameters);
                return Localization.LocalizeString("Select-A-Sim", parameters);
            }

The line commented out is what the object mod tutorial says to use, but I have been using code below that instead. Neither option is working at the moment anyway.

Any ideas? Is there a better way to do it?

This is the whole code in case it helps:

Code:

                {
                    NumSelectableRows = 1;
                    Sim actor = parameters.Actor as Sim;
                    List<Sim> sims = new List<Sim>();
                    foreach (Sim sim in actor.Household.CurrentMembers.ActorList.ToArray())
                    {
                        sims.Add(sim);
                    }
                    base.PopulateSimPicker(ref parameters, out listObjs, out headers, sims, true);                    
                }

            }  // end private sealed class Definition : ImmediateInteractionDefinition<Sim, ActivateSim, ActivateSim.ActSim>
        } // end sealed class ActSim : ImmediateInteraction<Sim,ActivateSim>
    }  //end public class ActivateSim : Sims3.Gameplay.Objects.Decorations.Mimics.SculptureAtriumFern
}  //end namespace NekoCat_ActivateSim

My cat taught me how to fetch. I throw the toy, she shows me where it landed, and I fetch it.

Since the Ambitions Patch, Localization::LocalizeString() returns blank if no STBL translation is located for the key you provided.

The key you are passing in is "Select-A-Sim" which hashes to:

0x37570C2DB9106D05

However you STBL contains 0x610D2C5B5D577352 for that string.

Change your STBL to match your key, and your translation should start working again.

Cheers.
