Handy little bit of Headmaster trivia I learned today.
Dark Trepie:
You know how with the advent of NL we got the option to call the entire household to dinner by clicking on the serving plate and choosing "Call to Meal" right? Well, today I found out that even though it does call the Headmaster to dinner, you DON'T get any Food Points for doing it that way.
Imagine my panic after the Headmaster sat down to eat the turkey (which took two tries because Stella burned the first one), finished eating, got up, and still had zero Food Points.
There was still a plate on the table when he got up though, so I clicked on him and did the Entertain - Call to Dinner thing. But he went and started eating what was left in Stella's plate rather than going for the full plate. Doing that managed to get him ONE whole food point...
Luckily, Stella proved to be the world's best schmoozer. And saved the day in the nick of time. Just check out the score and time left for yourself.
Moral of the story, call the Headmaster to dinner the old fashioned way rather than the new lazy way.

Lol, do you still invite the old goats? I forgot already what is "invite Headmaster", since I have the SimPe and the InSimenator...:). The minute the toddler becomes a kid, I spawn the Educational mode, choose "private school", and give the kid C+.
I couldn't stand this scenario - I always paniced, saved the game zillion times, and shouted to all my family that I have a Headmaster, so be quiet and don't bother me...:). Oh yes, and I replaced all the furniture in the house before his visit. Terrible scenario...:).

So that's why I didn't get any food points even though my sim had made Lobster Thermidor...
Thanks, I'll have to remember that for the next try.

This is good to know for the next headmaster visit. :)
I always move the pictures and book cases around to the next room to show him saves money that way.

Indeed, I'll have to start doing it that way. Those Headmasters seem to think that just because I schmooze with them a little that they can call me at all hours of the night to chat. Does doing it with the InSimenator still satisfy their want to get into Private School and give them the memory?
