The wall papers and floors did not come in with the purchase off this new house........I'll check the depot to see if they're there, but please load them in our account so we can make sure not to lose them if we try a different paper then want to change back to default.
Thanks

And thank you for something DIFFERENT...I've been longing for anything different for the last 3-4 themes.
I was drowning in sameness and plain......it's exciting to have something new and original
Thank you

This is the third house with the same layout, especially with the Premium homes. The new trick and treat the house, the New Year house, and now this one, and you call the rooms the same thing too. It is awesome to see new themes in other countries and the exterior and backyard are great except I don't know what to do with that extra door. The yocash smaller homes are the same way. The inside layout is the same. Is it I am asking honestly and being mean here, difficult to change layouts so the interior layouts can be creatively different? It does challenge me to make the insides different but it takes a lot of arrows, renaming , buying stairs blocking room for examples

Not into asian style at all so doubt I will even take the free house, but we do need different layouts. So much of the same this past year. Instead of doors between rooms, let's have hallways leading to other rooms, for one. Three story designs, different shaped rooms, open floor plans, etc. Rooms with a loft at one end overlooking the lower room. Please make some original ideas.

I get that this isn't real life, but I hate when bathrooms are right off the living room. I'd prefer they be off the bedroom, but even off the kitchen would be better. But I do like the house & that we're "visiting" a different country.

Same ole, same ole! Only the front is different from all the others. The inside is the same layout as in the last 3 or 4 houses. And please stop it with the Bonus Rooms. Maybe one is enough. So, you put a Bonus room in the master bedroom. You know that you know that that is supposed to be the master bathroom. But I get it. Making that room a bonus room you won't have to give us new furniture for it. Talking about furniture, when are we ever going to get enough furniture for ALL the rooms. In centuries past we would get everything for that room, including curtains, lamps, wall decos, etc. We're tired of using the same decorations over and over again.

The houses are nice, and I like that there's a day and a night version. While I don't get too bothered about layouts and always change things up anyway just for the sake of a layout I prefer or to expand the houses, I do agree with what others said about all the houses lately having the same layouts. You should switch them up a bit for variety and for those who don't want to change the layouts to make more sense.

I'll reserve judgment of the theme until I see what decor we get. As usual, not much for the entrance so I suspect this will be another incomplete theme. It is nice to see something different; a location we haven't been to before is nice. But it will be a shame if as usual we don't get enough stuff to decorate with.

Kudos to this exterior, nice to see a different take to a 'home' outside North America...
However...
The interiors are no more than regurgitated from the last three releases; but with different wallpaper and flooring, windows and doors...
However...
Having been to Viet Nam, both during and after the war, this house is NOT representative of the 'typical Vietnamese house' in ANY city whatsoever...
The double doors and windows are NOT 'typical Vietnamese'...

If you're going to release a house based in another country, please do your research...

I'll reserve any remaining comments/judgement until the release of the interior decor/furnishings...

I hope you have bonsai for decor for this theme. The Japanese style of bonsai is actually one of my favorites. Lots of landscapes. Hòn Nam Bộ. Such a beautiful style. It's the style I enjoy recreating the most in miniature.

Hey there.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We genuinely appreciate feedback from players who have firsthand experiences.

For this theme, we were fortunate to have significant guidance from members of our team who are Vietnamese or are deeply familiar with the culture. They played a key role in shaping the direction of this theme to ensure it reflects cultural inspiration authentically. While the items may not replicate every detail of a 'typical Vietnamese house,' our aim was to combine cultural elements with creative interpretations that align with the style of YoWorld.

We understand that perspectives may differ, and we’re always open to learning and improving. If you have specific suggestions or insights you’d like to share, we’d love to hear them. Thank you for helping us grow!

I like the nighttime version. But as always, I'll wait until all the decor is released before diving in.

Thanks for the new house, and Yay to daytime and nighttime versions.

So I understand the disappointment of not receiving all the furniture for all the rooms, that used to be so much fun back in the day, but this has been going on for awhile. :dizzy:

Maybe take a deep breath, and don't buy the house with all the bonus rooms, since you will never see furniture for those rooms ever. :wailing:

I am happy with the free houses, and yes, I am always buying avenues and coin modular rooms to connect to these free houses, so I can decorate the way I want to.

It's so disappointing to see undecorated houses on my coin runs, what's the point in spending the YC,
if you don't decorate. :eh:

Save your YC for the furniture or the clothes you like and spend it. :bye:

I am in agreement with the front and back yards being very nice and different.

However, no architectural interest for the inside, just rooms with different colors and floors, If I was not a VIP member I wouldn't think the cost for what you get is worth it. I don't like the items on the tables that are baked in I'd prefer to put my own choices on them. I tried to cover up the ones on the end tables since there are lamps for those and they don't look right with the plant vase thing you baked on them.

At this time of year; "Winter" it would be nice to see a tropical theme we haven't seen yet.

LASTLY, ONCE AGAIN THE WHITE LINE AT THE BASE OF THE WALLS, IT TAKES MANUEVERING TO COVER IT UP THROUGHOUT THE ROOMS. PLEASE DITCH IT!!!

I got the night time version! I agree it's great to have a theme from another country. I don't really know anything about Vietnam, so I have nothing to complain about. Happy New Year!

Why did you feel the need to make a pho hot tub? :eh:

I would rather see a handheld bowl of pho and some decorative ones for the kitchen and hope we will get those. And not in CRATES.

Their home design is based on the houses of an ancient town in Central Vietnam. The entrance and back yard are close to real ones but the living room furniture is not right.
If you wonder how the real one look like. Fyi:
