๐Ÿ“– The story

Green. Just green. Walls, floors, sofas, the kettle โ€” your Sim's entire home lives inside a single colour, and the restriction turns out to be the most freeing brief a builder can get.

๐Ÿ’ The goal

Design a complete, livable home using **one colour palette** throughout.

๐Ÿš€ Getting started

  • Pick a colour, place a lot, and build a functional home where every swatch lives in that hue family.

๐Ÿ“‹ General rules

  • Every wall, floor, object and outfit swatch sits within the chosen colour.
  • The home stays fully functional.
  • Neutrals (white/black/wood) are allowed only as light accents โ€” keep it disciplined.

โœจ Specific rules

  • Choose one colour before you start and commit to it.
  • No off-palette "cheat" pieces in visible spaces.
  • The result must still cover all of a household's needs.

โœ… What you can do

  • Use one colour family plus neutrals (white/black/wood) per your own rule; use `bb.moveobjects`.
  • Mix textures and shades within the palette for depth.

โ›” What you can't do

  • No objects or swatches outside the chosen palette.
  • The home must stay fully livable.

๐Ÿ’ก Strategy tips

  • Use shade and texture for depth โ€” a dozen greens read as a designed room, one flat green reads as a mistake.
  • Pull in wood or white as a *tiny* accent to stop the palette feeling oppressive.
  • Lean on objects with recolour-rich swatches (DLC clutter especially) to hit your hue everywhere.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Want it harder?

  • Allow **no** neutral accents at all โ€” pure single-hue.
  • Match the resident Sims' entire wardrobes to the house colour too.
