Handy little bit of Headmaster trivia I learned today.

This is pre-Nightlife, and I haven't tested what all this chatting during meals does to your meal score.
Thanks, Hook, I'm sure that will be helpful for a lot of people. :) When I have run the headmaster scenario since NL, I didn't notice a dramatic increase in the meal score (I tend to always serve pork chops), but I did notice it in the schmooze score when they're chatting at dinner. I always hate schmoozing (must be a rub-off from real life ;)), so that was nice to see.
also dont call the headmaster til 5pm any earlier than that and forget private school even post nightlife earlier than 5pm results in an instant turn down no matter how fancy the house is
or you could just not SAVE after calling him and before the end of the Scenario, as this seems to cause the problem.

You have to call him a little earlier, considering he arrives at 5 pm.
I call him at 5pm on the dot and he arrives instantly

I have to agree with Pescado.. I don't get why people have so much trouble with the headmaster visit! It's easy. The only time I've failed is due to the no food points glitch (and I can usually pull through even then), oh and once before I realized they'll get stuck in the hottub if you have one (I hadn't saved in a while so I didn't want to reload, stupid me. But I was new to the game, ok?). As a test, I had Brandi Broke call the headmaster for Beau the day after he turned into a kid... I think she was on her second day of pregnancy, but I don't precisely remember the timing when you start that household for the first time. Anyway, I had her shmooze with him on the lawn a tiny bit, go serve mac & cheese, then sent her off to bed because she was about to pass out. Beau took care of the rest and got right in. I didn't change anything in their house. I didn't even buy Beau a bed, he slept with his mom (that sounds so wrong). I didn't bother to clean, I think there was homework on the lawn, the works. Now surely, if it can be done under those circumstances, it's insanely easy.

Same here, never really had any problem making a Sim go to private school, I was so nervous the 1st time since I read a few add a lot of problem with that but it went like a charm, he played with the dartboard a lot, shmooze him a lot and make the tour and he ate spaghetti for dinner. Maybe some are trying to get the perfect score I don't know. For me as long as they pass I am happy :D

Me too, never tried the headmaster thing for a while because I read about people having trouble with it. But I decided to try it after reading some tips, and it was surprisingly easy. I love the challenge, except for the AWOL headmaster bugs as someone mentioned, but that was solved wtih JM's lot debugger and not saving the game after inviting the headmaster until he was done. I usually go for the food and tour points and have more points than I need. I don't usually do the schmooze thing because I ended up loosing points, but I might try it next time after reading some suggestions here. I did discover my sims could just chat with him to get schmooze points without having to specifically click on "schmooze." All my sim children go to private school. It helps with their careers when they go for the Young Entrepreneur scholarship, they only have to go a day or so and they are usually promoted to the top and become an Overachiever. I've been saving this right before I send them to college so they have plenty of time to work on their skills and have all the scholarships I can manage.
