Headmaster WTF moment.
Gus Smedstad:
I know this is practically a BBS post, but...
I ran the headmaster scenario for the first time with the new neighborhood and Free Time.
At the 2:30 mark I had 47 food points, 43 tour points, and 0 shmooze points for exactly 90. Which doesn't make sense because normally if you get a lively conversation at the dinner table you get 20ish shmooze points, but never mind.
The headmaster does his usual I'm-done-congratulate-parent routine. Then I get the "you suck, we don't want you dialog."
WTF?
In the old days we'd get all sorts of sheep posts about pregnant mother, homework undone, grade point too low, but we know that's all bull at this point. The only thing that matters is that final score. Yet I failed it anyway, for the first time since the early days with the bug where the headmaster would vanish a few moments after stepping on to the lot.

Can you replicate it?
All I can think of is if the headmaster had a bad conversation after you saw the 90 points, but before he queued up congratulate, you might have wound up with an 89 or something, but the game had already triggered the end of the scenario. But that's assuming you can get negative schmooze points, which I'm not sure of.
I suppose this is more embarrassing than in the old days, when the headmaster ignored attempts to give him a tour or feed him and instead headed straight for a hot tub, had a damned good time there, then left because you are a crappy family.
Gus Smedstad:
Yeah, you can lose shmooze points. Near as I can tell, it's just the number of daily relationship points you gain or lose with him through ordinary means during his visit.

talysman:
You can lose schmooze, but can you get negative schmooze? That's what I don't know.
Gus Smedstad:
I don't believe it. It now appears that is is the GPA.
I tried to invite the headmaster the next day, and got a dialog saying "we don't accept students with less tha C averages." I checked the kid, and sure enough, somehow she'd gotten a C-. She'd only been to school one day, which I thought meant she'd have a C+, but it's been a long time since I paid close attention to that junk.
Ergo, I deduce that I invited the headmaster before the kid came home on day 1, which meant she had a C average, and she failed the Headmaster scenario because her grade had dropped.
