Macbook or Macbook Pro Operating System Reinstall

I just created a brand new SC 6.2 site and added the CustomItemGenerator socure to my solution as another project. I installed the package into my site, then built the socure to overwrite the package's CustomItemGenerator.dll. I tried to generate custom item classes for a sample dummy template and the generate button doesn't seem to do anything still.I checked what the button does in the core and saw it calls devtools:generatecustomitem(id=$Target) so I'm thinking maybe something isn't hooking in. I looked in the CustomItemGeneratorCommand class and saw that if you try to generate custom items on any items other than a template or template folder, there should be a sheer alert in SC, which I don't get.
