Hey everyone! 👋​
I just noticed that Chromatic Chaos has reached over 1,200 views — that’s wild! 🎨💖 I honestly made this challenge for fun and kind of forgot about it for a while, so seeing that so many people checked it out truly made my day.
Thank you to everyone who’s read, played, or even bookmarked it — your support means a lot! 🌈 I’m thinking about giving Chromatic Chaos a small refresh soon, maybe with extra generation ideas, new twists, or even a Sims 4 version down the line.
If you’re currently doing the challenge, feel free to share your stories or screenshots — I’d love to see your colorful chaos in action! ✨​

Hello! I'm trying this challenge but I'm unsure how to start...are you moving into an empty lot, then cheating funds to 1,500? Or can you pick a starting lot, then change funds? Or do you buy a lot with 1,500 somehow?

Hi! Great question! 💖
For Chromatic Chaos, you can start in any of these ways — they all count as long as you end with §1,500 in household funds:
Option 1: Empty Lot (Most Common)
Move your Sim onto an empty lot.


Open the cheat window and type:
familyfunds [YourLastName] 1500


This sets your money to exactly §1,500.


Option 2: Small Starter Home
Pick any small starter house you like.


Then use familyfunds to lower your money to §1,500.


This works fine if you don’t want to start outdoors.


Option 3: Buy a Lot for §1,500 (Rare)
There isn’t a base game lot that costs exactly §1,500, so most players just use the familyfunds cheat to set the correct amount.


✨ As long as your final funds = 1,500, you’re starting correctly.
Hope this helps — and enjoy the chaos! 🌈
