In The Sims 2, getting your child or teen Sim into private school is a great way to boost their education and give them access to a better learning environment. But it takes more than just enrolling — you’ll need to impress the Headmaster. Here’s a complete guide on how to successfully get your Sim into private school.
Step 1: Prepare for the Headmaster Visit in The Sims 2
To begin the process, your household must have at least one child or teen. Once you’re ready:
- Use the phone and select “Invite Headmaster.”
- The Headmaster will arrive around 5:00 PM on the same day.
Make sure your house is clean and your Sims are in a good mood before he shows up.
Step 2: Impress the Headmaster
You have about 6 hours to earn a total of at least 90 points through three main activities in The Sims 2:
1. Give a House Tour
Click on the Headmaster and choose “Give Tour.” Lead him to rooms with high environment scores. Each impressive room gives points.
2. Serve Dinner
Cook a high-quality meal using a skilled Sim. Meals like Lobster Thermidor or Turkey work best. After serving, click the plate and select “Call Headmaster to Meal.”
3. Socialize
Have friendly or funny conversations with the Headmaster to earn extra points. Use interactions like “Chat,” “Joke,” or “Entertain.”
Step 3: Get Accepted
If you reach 90 points or more by the end of the visit, the Headmaster will approve your child or teen for private school. They’ll start attending the next day, complete with a snazzy new uniform.
Tips for Success
- Clean Up First: A clean house with good decor helps increase your tour score.
- Cook Early: Start dinner before the Headmaster arrives so it’s ready on time.
- Use a Charismatic Sim: Choose a family member with high Charisma to lead the interactions.
Getting into private school can be a fun challenge that adds a bit of prestige to your Sim family. Plan ahead, impress the Headmaster, and watch your young Sims walk through the gates of academic excellence in The Sims 2.
