Solved: SQL Foreign Keys do not generate Entity Framework Associations

Whenever I add my tables from a database into my entity model editor, none of the foreign keys "auto-generate" the respective associations. I've included a few examples of table creation scripts in case they provide some insight into what I'm doing wrong (and to prove I'm actually using foreign/primary keys).

Here's what I've tried so far:

Checking/Unchecking Include foreign key columns in the model (in the Entity Data Model Wizard)

Checking/Unchecking Pluralize or singularize generated object names

Adding only two tables (the ones I posted below)

Getting rid of identity columns

I loaded the AdventureWorks database sample and imported it to the entity model, and those associations were generated. I compared my database settings/schema to it, and no differences jumped out at me.

I've used LINQ to SQL before with no issues. Those associations generate fine. But using LINQ to SQL is going to be a last resort for me. I'm honestly thinking of recreating the structure in the entity model and then using it to create the database, but that will take forever.

Thanks.
