[Modding Help] Can't figure out how to replace localization

[Orange1861]

Hello! I'm making a mod that aims to try to rebalance civilizations. I'm struggling on getting the localization to change (it's not doing anything), code is below: The goal is to add +0.5 Housing to the Spanish Mission text (I already got it working in game).

XML Text Change file:

<GameData>
   <LocalizedText>
           <Replace Tag="LOC_IMPROVEMENT_MISSION_DESCRIPTION" Language="en_US">
           <Text>Unlocks the Builder ability to construct a Mission, unique to Spain.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]+2 [ICON_Faith] Faith and +0.5 [ICON_Housing]. Additional +2 [ICON_SCIENCE] Science once Cultural Heritage is discovered. +2 [ICON_Faith] Faith, +1 [ICON_PRODUCTION] Production, and +1 [ICON_Food] Food if on a different continent than your [ICON_Capital] Capital. +1 [ICON_Science] Science for every adjacent Campus and Holy Site district.</Text>
       </Replace>
    </LocalizedText>
</GameData>

Modinfo

<GameData>
   <LocalizedText>
           <Replace Tag="LOC_IMPROVEMENT_MISSION_DESCRIPTION" Language="en_US">
           <Text>Unlocks the Builder ability to construct a Mission, unique to Spain.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]+2 [ICON_Faith] Faith and +0.5 [ICON_Housing]. Additional +2 [ICON_SCIENCE] Science once Cultural Heritage is discovered. +2 [ICON_Faith] Faith, +1 [ICON_PRODUCTION] Production, and +1 [ICON_Food] Food if on a different continent than your [ICON_Capital] Capital. +1 [ICON_Science] Science for every adjacent Campus and Holy Site district.</Text>
       </Replace>
    </LocalizedText>
</GameData>

If that's an accurate copy/paste of what you have in your modinfo file, then the problem is in your modinfo file.

Loading a file into the Localization system should look like this in the modinfo file

  <InGameActions>
    <UpdateText id="InGameTextAdditions">
      <Properties>
        <LoadOrder>200</LoadOrder>
      </Properties>
      <File>YourTextFile.xml</File>
    </UpdateText>
  </InGameActions>

You don't actually always need this bit

      <Properties>
        <LoadOrder>200</LoadOrder>
      </Properties>

but it usually works better to have it so that you can be certain your changes to the localization system load after the base game and all the DLC/Expacs load into the game.

Good catch!

Yeah, I had issues copying over my modinfo file. Sorry about that, I didn't accurately copy my modinfo file. I have my actual one below:

Your change to the Vanilla Text Key Tag is working but the problem is that the expansions redirect the Mission Improvement to use a different Description Text Key Tag.

--------------------

This sort of thing is actually quite common for stuff that existed in Vanilla but was adjusted when either of the expansions are being used.

Oh! Thank you so much. I wouldn't have caught that in a long time without your help, much appreciated. I also would like to thank you for your modding guide, it's helping me get started on Civ 6 modding. (I have modding experience but not in the Civilization series)
