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.
Special Substitution inserts
Italics in the table below indicates an unconfirmed description.
| Substitution | Description |
|---|---|
| $Neighbor | Insert name of neighbor pointed at by neighbor ID in stackObject ID |
| $FamilyAssets | Insert family monetary Net worth into string from family index in local var |
| $Family | Insert house-hold name of person in stack object into string |
| $Me | Insert catalog name of current object/Sim contained in the special My variable |
| $Object | Insert catalog name of current stack object into string |
| $Local:X | Insert value of Local variable X |
| $TimeLocal | Insert hour of day in text using in index of local var to point at var with hour value in it new ones |
| $NameLocal:X | Insert catalog name of object/Sim with ID contained in Local variable X |
| $NameAttrib:X | Insert catalog name of object with ID pointed at index X of stack objects attribute (?) |
| $NeighborLocal:X | Insert name of neighbor pointed at by Neighbor ID contained in Local variable X |
| $Attrib:X | Insert attribute value X of stack objects attribute (?) |
| $CatalogLocal:X | Insert catalog description of object with ID contained in Local variable X |
| $TokenNameLocal:X | Insert catalog name of object type pointed at by token type, which is indexed by local var X |
| $DayLocal:X | Insert text name of day given in local var X. Day values are 0-6, 0 being Sunday (?) |
| $JobTitle:X | Insert text name of a job title of given object. Using index passed in via local var X, this indexes into string table 800 (?) |
| $PrivateString:X:Y | Gets the Private string from the String Resource number in Local:X (have made it work for 0x0101), and the string within that table which is in Local:Y |
| $LastName | Gets the current family's last name |
