Is anyone else struggling with social interactions?

I swear, after the Cottage Living update, any custom interactions won't seem to work! It has been taking sooo much time to get them to show up in-game. I have created custom interaction files with new tuning IDs. I plug them in under "actor_mixers" on traits. (The traits work and show up fine.) The key is either a custom SI or one from EA files such as basic "sim_chat" or "sim_BeAffectionate." With custom SIs, I do make sure to add a target super affordance in the trait as well. Normal custom pie menu used for category in the social mixer. But nothing! I have also tried connecting the mixers via buffs, but to no avail. I have made interactions a thousand times but after all the updates, my mod is struggling. Am I missing something? Is there some other way to get them to show up? Maybe I forgot a step? 

What do you think?

Thanks!
