Default Problem with Adding a Limitation

Hey gang,

I'm trying to write a simple .GDF file to add functionality for the Nuisance Effect and Pact limitations in the specific manner in which I intend to use them for my character on the Affliction advantage (Obvious and Great Vow, respectively). I have this file loading last. No matter what tweaks I've tried, I've been unable to get these limitations to show up as available. Would any of you be able to determine what I'm doing wrong? Thank you for any help you can provide. Here is the text of file:

Version=3
* The version information above MUST be the first line of the data file
Description=This adds the Nuissance Effect (Obvious) and Pact (Great Vow) limitations. Modified: Apr 16, 2017

Program=4.0.356

Requires=GURPS Basic Set 4th Ed.--Characters.gdf

Are you sure that you're actually loading and using the data set that has your file being loaded last?

Because I just copied that info you included above into a new data file, loaded GCA, added that data file to my basic data set, reloaded the data, loaded a random character, added an affliction, opened the modifiers for that random affliction, and your two new modifiers were listed right there....

Thank you kindly for checking. That definitely means the problem lies in the file not loading properly. I'll play around with that.
