This user has the following games installed:

Sims 2, Nightlife, Seasons, Bon Voyage, Free Time
Default Can't invite headmaster
Good evening.

I have this new game, just installed some days ago in a computer that never had The Sims before (nightlife, apartment, and 5 sps, including Mansions), and I started a completely new game in Belladona Cove, instead of resuming my legacy, full of bugs, 10 years old game in Pleasantview. New Downloads folder too, with almost no CC, and all of them I used before on my old game.

I've been playing and inviting headmasters and taking the kids to private school in different households on this new game. Everything alright.

Then, came the problem: I have a family with a married couple (adults), one child that is their son, and one child that is the wife's nephew.

The nephew is a couple days older than the son, so I waited till the toddler son to grew up to child so I could invite the headmaster only once. First day of class of the son, both boys couldn't bring their homework. So I left the game and installed "Get Parents Fix (V0.01) for All Games" from simbology, a mod that I used before on my old game. The next day, the boy brought home the homework and the headmaster came. But I forgot to check the grades of the boy, so he was C-. Because of this, only the nephew got into the private school.

So, new day of classes, new homework, new grades, and I decided to invite the headmaster again. But I couldn't. Every time both the adult sims and both the children try to invite the headmaster, the game lags a little and then the window of "call a sim" opens. I tried to delete the phone and buy another. I tried to move one of the parents to another lot, and then inviting the other three sims to live together in a new house, but still I can't invite the headmaster. Always the contact list of the sim opens as if I tried call/sim.

I went to another household with a baby, played until the baby was a kid, then tried to invite the headmaster, but still I can't.

I tried to find something similar to this in different forums, but I coudln't find anything. Can anyone help me with this?

Have you tried turning on testingcheats and then try to call the headmaster and you should get an error box which will say that an error has been logged somewhere in your sims folder - copy down where it says it is and then post it here someone will probably be able to understand it. Also it will have the options cancel, reset or delete make sure you press reset.

Thank you for this idea!

I turned on testing cheats (and i checked if I typed it right, shift-clicking on random things to see if all that options were there - and they were) and tried to invite the headmaster. No error message appeared: I tried to click on X to cancel the phone call, but no window appeared, then I chose a sim to call (the calling never works), and still no message.

EDIT:
Now I disabled all CC to test. Now the headmaster could be invited. Yay. Now I just need to figure out what of my seemingly harmless CC was the offending one. At least it is not a lot of things.

You can also try the bat box, stuck scenario or something like that (maybe Awol headmaster) I think it is called. It probably wasn't your cc just a stuck headmaster scenario.

I actually tried bat box too at some point, forgot to say. Awol headmaster was not there. But still, I think the stuck headmaster scenario would vanish when I moved out my family, I think.

I had a couple of mods installed, I will try to put back one by one and see what happens. I'll let you know when I finish.
