Warm interiors[]

Some interiors, but not all, will help your player survive the cold. If you are starting a new game, you will find a crate with needed warming supplies at the foot of the stairs of Vault 111's exit point. If you have already progressed in the game, you should go back to Vault 111 to get these supplies. Vault 111 is warm and you will quickly recover.

Works great with Underground Railroad Redux (Only 1 plugin):

This is the second and better version, with a two story layout that doubles the amount of gateways.

Underground Railroad Redux by T9X69 and gorillatamer is an interior space that will warm up your player during the Winter apocalypse.

Side Note: Play Station 4: The original Underground Railroad is available on Play Station 4 and is a definite must have, especially if you are experiencing frequent FO4 game crashing at your SAVE points (due to numerous loaded mods). Build a bed in the Underground Railroad to save your game progress in Survival Mode. The chances of the game crashing at SAVE is significantly reduced.

The interior is accessible by manholes scattered throughout the world map. So if you are looking for warmth, find the manholes situated in the middle of a street. Look for as many of these access points on the world map as you can, to help you survive the cold.

This interior is outfitted with a workbench that allows you to make your own player home.
