Some years ago at TheSimCommunity forums, I came across Solid Color Challenge, which I liked very much and decided to take part in it. Unfortunately, I can't get to TheSimCommunity forums anymore.
Recently, I found the rules for this challenge
here @sims-online.com. They're a bit different from what I used to play, so I change them a little.
Solid Color Building Challenge
RULES
Build a house by using
one color only! Everything - walls, doors, windows, furniture - has to be your assigned color! Missing a specific item? Too bad! No purple toilet in game? Your house will have to do without a toilet.
Plants
(including flowers), terrain paint and rocks can be used freely to landscape.
Mailboxes can be placed, despite the color.
You may only build a house, so
no apartment or community lots.
Use filters to find items of your color in Build & Buy.
And of course
no CC or mods!
You can ask for color here. Just write
"Color please!" Or choose the color yourself from the following:
Red
Pink
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Purple
White
Gray
Black
Light Brown
Dark Brown
Want to make the challenge even harder? Here are
STRICTER RULES
If you’re using a multicolored item, it must be mainly your color.
Flowers have to be your assigned color.
Use Base game only.
When your house is ready, post your pictures or video here.
All the screenshots, except the first, hide under the spoiler, please!
FAQ
Can we use debug items?
Yes, you can use debug items, provided they are your assigned color.
Is there a due date for this challenge?
No due date. You can build your house for one day (if you are that fast
) or you can spend a year for your building. Having finished your house, post it here and ask for further color (if you want to continue the challenge).
What hashtag do we use for this challenge?
Hashtag for the Gallery is
#SolidColorChallenge and your assigned color e.g.
#LightBrownDoes the house have to be absolutely monochromatic?
No, it doesn't.
If you follow stricter rules,
each item must be
mainly your assigned color (more than 50%). But it doesn't have to be
only your assigned color. E.g. your assigned color is RED. If the item is red and white (60% red) - the item is OK.
If you don't follow stricter rules, it's enough to have just a little bit of the assigned color in the item. The filter helps you to find such items.
Anyway, the house
doesn't have to be all over
one color only.
What to do if there aren't necessary objects of the assigned color? No purple toilet, for example?
Don't worry about missing objects. Just leave space for a missing bath or a toilet in your bathroom, for example. And when you send your lot to the Gallery, write in the description that it was made for
Solid Color Challenge, Color Purple. And that you left space for a missing bath or a toilet in your bathroom. I don't think that for the people who download your house it will be difficult to add a toilet, a bath or windows.
Yes, it's tough to make an
"impractical" house. But it's a challenge!

Edit what hashtag do we use for this
@chips46 Being a super slow builder, I love about this challenge that it doesn't have any due date. You can build your house for one day (if you are that fast ) or you can spend a year for your building. Having finished your house, post it here and ask for further color (if you want to continue the challenge).
Hashtag for the Gallery is #SolidColorChallenge and your assigned color e.g. #LightBrown
So, would you like to join? How about YELLOW?
Edited: Added FAQ to the OP.
@chips46 Ok. Take BLUE. (My favorite color, btw. )
Hold SHIFT while using the FRIEZE tool to apply it to a single wall, and not an entire room!

If you download one of my builds, by all means, leave me a message and tell me what you did and did not like about it.

@Metaphasic Oh, you managed! Awesome job!
I guess you followed stricter rules as all the items are mainly black. And you did it perfectly!
Upd. : Would you like to continue? Color?

Anyways, I did make a "white diamond'
I only 'cheated' on the outside bin, it is technically grey, but I don't like to upload non-functional lots

It is a lovely stylish white themed home for a family

Meanwhile, I'd like to show you another RED house.
No, he didn't devour Lil or her Granny. He was a vegetarian. Instead, he fell in love with Lil. They married and now live together with Granny in a beautiful house. All red.
