Line 37:
**A room with no roof
*It's a good idea to have two parents at home
*'''Caution:''' Using any form of teleportation will not speed up the tour as the headmaster will not do the same; furthermore, it has a chance of causing the same alarm signal normal Sims give off, slowing it down.
=== Dinner ===
Line 43 ⟶ 44:
;Tips
*'''Never make chef salad for the headmaster.''' No matter who he is (as it varies for each game), the Headmaster absolutely hates chef salad. He prefers pork chops, lobster and salmon. Alternatively, the family Lifetime Aspiration meal "Grandma's Comfort Soup" is a good choice to cook.
*The [[witch]] spell [[Spells (The Sims 2: Apartment Life)#"Neutral" spells|"Creatum Nutrimens"]] can be used to summon a meal, but the food it summons is completely random, and the Headmaster may not like the result.
*If there is only one adult or elder in the household or if the player is worried about the time limit, Sims can prepare the food ahead of time, place it in their inventory, then take it out and serve it when the Headmaster arrives.
*Scoring for the dinner portion of the scenario depends on how satisfied the Headmaster is with his food. It is not necessary to have other household members eat; they will socialize with the Headmaster even if they are just sitting at the table while he eats.
**Using homegrown produce in ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons|Seasons]]'' will considerably raise the score.
*Be sure to always choose "Entertain... Call for Dinner" from the Headmaster's pie menu. Never choose "Call to Dinner... Everyone" from the meal's pie menu. This will only earn three points, as it will not count as part of the scenario.
*While dinner table conversation with the Headmaster will contribute to the Schmooze score, dinner table conversation also significantly increases the amount of time Sims take to eat a meal. Sims can take at least two game hours to eat a meal if they are socializing while they eat, so be sure to allow enough time for them to finish the meal before the timer runs out.
Line 57 ⟶ 60:
;Tips
*If the player uses the [[Testingcheatsenabled]] cheat, the player can make their Sim best friends with the Headmaster. This fills the Schmooze requirement. As long as the Sims give him a nice tour, the children are guaranteed to be accepted into private school regardless of the quality of the dinner.
*Unemployed Sims cannot schmooze about work, even if they are retired or own businesses.{{confirm}}
*With the use of a [[voodoo doll]], if a Sim performs the "Friendship" manipulation on the Headmaster, the Schmooze score will drastically rise to 60.
Line 77 ⟶ 80:
*There are multiple Headmasters in a neighborhood; if "Invite Headmaster" is used multiple times, there will be a different one each time.
**Each Headmaster has his own personality and interests, so Sims who have little success at schmoozing with one may do better with another.
*A Sim who has met a Headmaster through the scenario cannot directly call him on the phone, but he may call the Sim. However, like other NPCs who are not easily available through the phone, they can be invited to parties and can be chatted with on the computer.
*If the player's Sim is pregnant and they want the child to get in to private school, making one of the parents study cooking and the other to get a nice job will improve their score in a future tour.
*All children and teens in the household who meet the minimum grade are covered by the Headmaster's decision even if they were not the ones who applied. However, babies and toddlers who age up after the Headmaster's visit, as well as Sims who are born or added to the household after the visit will need to apply for private school separately.
