Private school help...

Ok here it goes,
I cant seem to get my kids into private school. Ive tried so many ways. I'd invite the head master over. I'd have someone greet him then give him a tour of the house. After the tour I have some sims take turns schoome(however u speel that) about school or work. The I have one sims make and serve dinner. I just found out that 10 points are added if u make coffee. But the highest I have even gotten with the points was 65/90....I think...i just know he never passed us. Ive tried with different familys and stuff. Please help. what am i doing wrong...or not doing at all?

re: Private school help...

The head master gives you more points if you have expensive paintings and things in the rooms when you give him the tour

also make sure that the person that fixes the dinner has high cooking skills and fixes something like the lobster, turkey,or porkchops or something instead of mac and cheese or something simple

I hope this helps

re: Private school help...

Sorry, but I just tried it...It didnt help. I made the dad have really good cooking skills...almost all the way, probely a 7 on the cooking skills. and i made fancy meals using him...but the headmaster still wasnt impressed...even after he at it. I also did the whole expensive painting thing for the house tour. That didnt help. Is their a certain order to do everything?

re: Private school help...

First give a tour of the house, show him the best rooms first as he will only look at so many rooms. Points for this are decided by the environment score in a room.

The better the food is the more points that adds, make the bets food you can but make sure it isn't burnt.

There should be schmoozing interactions, I'm not 100% sure how these work but sims with higher charisma seem to get more points from them.

There are 30 bonus points available which can be easrned easily. 10 if the headmaster gets in a hot-tub, 10 for him having a drink at the bar and 10 for him drinking coffee. get all of these and it's easier.

re: Private school help...

Are you feeding him right?

I know when i did it I made the mistake of making the meal and just letting him eat. You have to Make the meal, then click on him...entertain....call to meal or something. that tripped me up a couple times because i thought he just had to eat but you have to call him to eat the right way for it to count.

re: Private school help...

Hmmmm, I know that you need to get at least the full 90 points to be accepted~

One way I found worked quite well was that as soon as the headmaster arrived I'd get the Sim with the highest cooking skill to start making the food whilst the other members of the other household members schmoozed with him - the member that was the most successful at schmoozing gave him the tour and followed the headmaster around for the visit~

I decided that a schmooze was more successful if the Sim got on well with the headmaster (Like with other ordinary Sims, same interests etc.)

re: Private school help...

yup I feed him right. Id have one sim (with the highest cooking skills) start cooking a half an hour b4 he gets their. I ussaly have that sim make somthing fancey like lobster or porkchops or somthing like that. But no matter what it is, the food points dont go up. yes, i make sure I call him to dinner everytime. I have the sim with the highest charisma schmooze him. I also make sure that if the sim kids have unfinished home work, that they do it while he's their(but they dont always have unfinished home work). Also, when he's eating, theirs always another sim by him talking, so not only is it hard for him to finish his meal in time (because he's to bizzy yapping and i cant make him or the other sim stop)but it also makes it hard for me to do anything else til he's done eating.

re: Private school help...

I usually start by having someone give him a tour while another one is cooking
Then i have the whole family sit down and eat with the headmaster and that can give you schmooze points and food points
Then I have someone schmooze and talk to the headmaster
I always end up with over 90 points by the time the headmaster leaves
