If you don't have a sim that can make pork chops, lobster, or salmon, having a family aspiration or secondary aspiration can give you Grandma's Comfort Soup, which also scores really well.
You have to serve the coffee when the headmaster is not doing anything and is in the same room as the coffee maker, otherwise it won't queue for him. And yes, they only like espresso.
Protip for Headmaster to get points for schmoozing. One of the expansion packs adds an option to greet with a gesture (I don't know which one, but it is in UC). So basically before your Sim actually greet the headmaster, you can make a line of maximum interactions for those gestures. (You can do it easily on paused game). Then, when a Sim greet the headmaster, the pop up for points will appear, but the line of gestures won't desappear. I believe Sims always accept the gestures, so they relationship will go up and you also get a points for that. Also, if you befriend a headmaster during their visit, the schmooze points will go automatically to 60.
Hey! That’s what I was going to suggest! 🤣 I always put that tip on Reddit whenever anyone asks how to get into private school. The special greetings came with Apartment Life and yeah, you pause and queue them all up and get an instant 25 schmooze points. It’s so great!
“Let’s just say that he was really sick” me in my PV when I got sick of Sanjay Ramaswami cheating on his wife constantly with other women in his apartment complex so he starved outside in the snow
A little headmaster tip, if he sees unfinished homework, you will lose points. Also, a dumb tip for money is that you could just dig for treasure instead of getting a job, if youre lucky enough to find a treasure chest, its worth 5000
This is an accurate representation of my families trying to get their kids into private school, even when they're filthy rich with the fanciest of furniture and make the headmaster lobster...these guys are pickkkkkkkkky!
@@leslie2149 All you have to do is when he gets out of the car line up 8 of the special greets. Kiss kiss darling, earthy hug, all of those. Don't greet him (they stop being available if you greet him normally) just line them up as many as you can, you will always get schmooze points if you do that. Sometimes it might only be a few other times it will be a lot.
You can cheese the home tour by spending all your money on one very fancy piece of art (if you don't already have one), and move it between rooms in buy mode, as you do the tour. And then just sell it afterwords, if you don't want to keep it.
I rolled for a similar starting family in my prosperity challenge. I had a lone teen knowledge sim, who was very shy. Money wasn't an issue either. The main problem was that she wanted to get an A+, but had no one to teach her to study, so she'd spend twice as long as teens normally would. The other issue was her getting lonely, even as a shy sim. Her personality points were to low to get the welcome wagon, so she remained disconnected from the otherwise social neighbourhood. I got her to greet a random adult townie walking by, and invite him to dinner every so often. That wasn't weird at all...
I had a family made up of one teen, one child and one toddler. The backstory was that their father walked out shortly after the last child was born and mom died just before they moved due to a satelite fell on her (cough). It was a bit of a struggle but they made it.
I remember the first time I failed to impress the headmaster. After that I always saved before I invite him. And only save again after kids get in the private school.
It would be interesting to see you manage seven teens this way. 8) I can't remember where I heard it, and it's probably a myth; that female sims usually have more luck with positive interactions like smooze and talking to the headmaster.
In my rotational save Darren Dreamer died and left Dirk behind, he lived on his own for about 8 days before moving to college. He had a dog named Mozart which helped a lot with the loneliness and also helped Dirk paying the bills with his pet job. When Dirk was ready to move to college he tried to give Mozart away to his friends (Lilith Pleasant, Beau Broke) but none of them could afford him. In the end, he gave Mozart up for adoption and it was the saddest thing I've seen in a sims game... a police woman showed up, Mozart ran into her car. Dirk ran out on the porch crying, then he ran out into the rain and stood next to the police car bawling his eyes out as the dog was looking at him from inside the car. When Dirk finishes university he is SO adopting that dog back.
What a fun idea, haven't tried this in years! Playing with teen only (or in my case, I've had a teen and child/toddler, because I am crazy :D ). Didn't know the private school made any difference! I've been playing this game for years and never noticed that private school has any effect! Great video ♥
I got in this situation once. My sims' mom married adult Alexander Goth but Alexander never get along with my sims. So I leave the teen in the old home alone :(
I remember when I was young playing the sims 2 and struggled to keep all the needs high as well, as the result I couldn't play a single family for more than a sim week before all adults died and the children were taken by the social worker, but after a few years when I got the ultimate collection, the needs were no longer an issue. So maybe the needs dropping faster were actually a thing but maybe they were fixed with one of the expansion packs or something. I don't really think I sucked this much at the sims 2 when I was younger, especially that soon after I started playing the sims 3 where I didn't have such problems anymore. What do you think?
Yeah, I feel like needs might've been changed in patches, but some people still find the game hard, especially when they play it for the first time being used to Sims 3 and 4.
I did a challenge where I had a teen and her toddler sister. If you have Bon Voyage you can dig for treasure which can get you money quickly. They were very lucky and got three treasure chests somehow. The hardest part was the four toddler days because you either have to hire a nanny or skip school. Toddlers are easy to take care of if you have Pets because they can sleep on pet beds and eat pet food. Get a cat or dog to get a job for extra money as well. Marticore got so close that second time! Two points off.
If you are not sure what I mean if you look at 8:58 you will see you clicked on the headmaster and there were two options, you selected the top opinion of "Greet Adrian Whatshisface" while the option below just said 'greet', you want to click the bottom option.
I am starting to think I am the only person who takes advantage of the special greets that you can do as soon as the headmaster steps out the car. These are free schmooze points for the taking. Don't greet him, special greet him 8 times in a row. Earth hug, high five all of those. You have to do it first or this option disappears. If you use those special greets you are guaranteed of schmooze points. Some headmasters gain a few points others gain a lot. I'm not sure what governs how many points they get but figuring that out could be interesting. I don't know if it goes on how grumpy the headmaster is or on the sims charisma points or what. I got the Newson's into private school with their less then stellar house with special greets, spaghetti and coffee.
I wouldn't even have access to gestures in this gameplay because you can't do them if your Sim never learned them (I sometimes don't even attach a vacation destination to hoods). But yes, I found out from another comment that this is a feature 😂
I wonder how those extra activity points actually work for headmasters - I noticed that sometimes they choose to ignore the drinks and hot tub - and on some other occasion they absolutely refuse to come out of hot tubs, which results in a hilarious failure :D
I am one of those ppl who are thinking that this is really easy. I remember when i was playing with Newson family by itself. Gavin and Ginger (two teenagers - sry if I wrote wrong names, they all have them so similar to each other) were going to school, then to work. I managed it that well that they could afford a nanny. If i remember correctly one of siblings was painting - another way to earn money. If somebody is playing ts2 since premiere this isnt a big deal
Why dont buy magazine with topics that headmaster is interest? Work and school? Magazines work that way in ts2. Correct? Its cheap and it woud be extra helpful.
I love your face to face podcasts where you talk to us. I love you voice too but I want and need to see your face. Not interested at all in video games. Your face and mannerisms are the real treat. Talk to us more face to face. That's what I like and prefer.
"Once you become an adult, the history of your grades is not relevant anymore" just like in real life lmao
True
Unfortunately, this didn’t click for me until I got so burnt out that I left school entirely despite being only 15 years old.
If you don't have a sim that can make pork chops, lobster, or salmon, having a family aspiration or secondary aspiration can give you Grandma's Comfort Soup, which also scores really well.
Oh man, he could've done it!
Didn't know that - thank you🙂
Pancakes also work good

Just make someone flirt with him, that usually works for me 😅
The headmaster in my game hates to shmooze. Almost nobody can get positive points with him.

Help, random teenage orphan who lives next door keeps inviting to dinner and I am to polite to decline
I play sims 2 so much I was sure the teen will not be able to get to private school without better cooking. Actually impressed he almost made it.
I had a family made up of one teen, one child and one toddler. The backstory was that their father walked out shortly after the last child was born and mom died just before they moved due to a satelite fell on her (cough). It was a bit of a struggle but they made it.

Oh Damm for some reason I always got lucky with the headmaster and always get my sims in. But I Guss I always served better food than grilled cheese 😂
Because it's easy to impress the headmaster with better food and nice house))
Pork chops ftw

Did Dirk get his dog back???
@ahumanbeena to be honest I put that save on ice... If I pick it up again I'll let you know!
you sing so nicely
I'm glad that my video suggestion has become reality 😁 thank you so much!/
tbh wish we could ignore our problems w/o consequences irl, like in the sims 2

If you have a teen and a baby only in a household the baby doesn’t show up on the family thumbnail 😢
Oh no! Because teens can't hold babies in the picture 😩 Sometimes babies sit on the floor like toddlers though, but that's just a cute glitch 😆
oh nice hint with looking at Paintings, didnt knew that
Only when I heard you pronounce "Newsons" I noticed it sounds a lot like "Nuisance"
Fitting, I'd say 💀
Thanks for teaching me a new word
Oh no! They really didn't want him in that private school 😂 That's a shame, especially that it would let him get a lvl 2 from the start in any job
Wait what? The headmaster hates salad? I never knew he actually prefers any food!
I got in this situation once. My sims' mom married adult Alexander Goth but Alexander never get along with my sims. So I leave the teen in the old home alone :(
I came for the excellent sims 2 content, I stay for the Taylor Swift references!

In my Strangetown I have a sim who wants 10 kids. I wanted to fulfill the wish, now I'm hesitating
marticore can hold some notes damn!

Oh, it's this! Good to know 😆
I've never had issues with Spaghetti. It gets enough points, and then I just schmooze it up.
The hot tube gives 10 points but for some reason he doesn't get out himself in my game.

Read a book from the bookcase for fun! It goes very fast...better than view many deco.

The Sims 2 Public School have the same benefits of Brazilian Public schools, they serve a lunch.

@@Marticore I have only that so long as I play.
Why instead of killing the adult just making an adult and use the sim modder to age them down?
Easier to me
Ur voice is beautiful
14:01 did he just congratulate himself?
Yep, they do that!
that teenage sim looks so cool! Could u please upload it on your pinterest?🥺🥺
i love the taylor references lol
I wonder if it would be possible for teen to survive on an empty lot with just basic stuff like at the begining of the legacy challange.
offtopic but where is episode 71 of the genesees?
Lol I forgot to publish it
@@Marticore lol, i didn't get the notification that you answered my comment.

oooh-oooooooh!
does talking really matter? I thought only schmoozing was relevant
