[edit] Overview
When creating a String Resource for one of the many uses in Sims 2 (including dialogs) you can use special substitution strings to have your string filled in at runtime with something that isn't static, for example a Sims name, or a value calculated at runtime.
[edit] Special Substitution inserts
Italics in the table below indicates an unconfirmed description.
