Beginner Basics Build Challenge

Hi, not really what I post on here but I thought of this challenge and I have nowhere else to put it! It's under the cut so yeah

Beginner Basics Build Challenge: This build challenge focuses mostly on decorating. The main idea is that the beginning furnishings are fairly plain and basic aside from a couple standout items and you furnish/decorate the house to add style and personality. 

You cannot change the floor plan, edit walls or fences, add/move/delete windows or doors, or change the structure of the house

Basements and foundations cannot be added

No new room additions

Platforms can be added

Half wall trims can change swatch but not style

Flooring cannot be changed with the exception of adding carpet to mimic a rug (carpet cannot be applied to whole room in this case)

Stairs cannot be changed (style nor swatch)

You are limited to repainting the walls based

Wainscoting, paneling, molding, and baseboards must remain consistent between styles i.e you can go from “desert skies” to “essence of pastels” since they have the same baseboard but not “desert skies” to “I’ve been framed” since one has molding on the top and the other doesn't

You can switch from paint to wallpaper so long as the styles (baseboards/molding/wainscoting/paneling/none) match up

You can switch swatches with in any wall style

You cannot delete initial furniture on the lot! 

Single beds can be deleted

You cannot change the swatches on initial furniture!

Bed swatches can be changed (to mimic a change in bed spread, since the swatches are inconsistent it is okay if the bed frame colors change)

You can move initial furniture to different rooms and outside

Do not make a shed/basement/attic/whatever to hide the initial furniture. That defeats the purpose of this challenge

Exterior wall, window, and roofing can not be changed

Exterior plants can be moved but not deleted

When making a starting build, use plain, basic plants. Try to limit use of color, or stick to white for flowers

Exterior plants can be added

Terrain manipulations (paint, ponds, elevation, sinking, etc) cannot be erased

Terrain manipulations can be added 

Pools and fountains cannot be moved or deleted.

Water color can be changed

Lights, fountain streams, bubbles, ladders cannot be deleted or moved, but can be added

pool/fountain trim can change swatches but cannot change style

I highly recommend using some sort of style randomizer to influence how you style the house! This is my first time making a challenge so let me know if you have any notes! You can make a shell for the challenge and then build on it later. Example shells can be found on the gallery using #BeginnerBasicsChallenge . Best of luck!

So apparently another whole ass animated scooby doo movie was canceled, this time featuring Krypto the Superdog, but it leaked onto 4chan and was uploaded onto the internet archive

tbh i think the funniest phenomena that's been happening in the last couple years is "youtuber, having gone too deep into the research hole, has been made an investigative journalist against their will"

A couple job interview hacks from someone who has to give a job interview every single goddamn day: (disclaimer: this goes for my process and my company’s process, other companies and industries might be different)

1. There are a few things I check and a few questions I ask literally just to figure out if you can play the game and get along with others in a professional setting. Part of the job I interview for is talking to people, and we work in teams. So if you can’t “play the game” a tiny bit, it’s not going to work. Playing the game includes:

- Why do you want to work here? (just prove that you googled the company, tell me like 1 thing about us, I just want to know that you did SOME kind of preparation for this interview)

- Are you wearing professional clothing? I don’t need a suit just don’t show up in a ratty t-shirt and sweatpants.

- Are you able to speak respectfully and without dropping f-bombs all the time? Not because I’m offended but because I don’t want to be reported to HR if you wind up on my team.

- Can you follow simple directions in an interview?

2. Stop telling me protected information. I don’t want to know about what drugs or medications you’re on, I don’t want to know about you being sick, I don’t want to know if you’re planning to have children soon, I don’t want to know anything about your personal life other than “can you do the job?” 

3. When we ask, “What questions do you have for me?” here are my favorites I’ve heard: - What does the day-to-day look like for a member of your team?

- If one of your team members was not performing up to his usual standard, what steps would you take to correct that?

- What can I start doing now to accelerate my learning process in this job?

- What are some reservations you have about me as a candidate? (be ready for this emotionally….it will REALLY help you in the future, and I’ve had people save themselves from a No after this, but can be hard to hear)

- In your opinion, what skills and qualities does the ideal candidate for this job possess?

- What advice would you give to a new hire in this position/someone who wanted to break into this industry, as someone who has worked here for a while?

Those are just my tips off-the-cuff. I work in sales in marketing/SAAS, so these can be very different depending on the industry, but I wish the people I interview could read this before they show up.
