The parents' house (Fin: vanhempien talo) is a house owned by the player's parents, located in the Kesselinperä peninsula. Unlike My Summer Car, the parents' house is not the main location where the player lives, but it can be fully accessed and used including the bed for sleeping and the toilet for saving. [1]

Upon starting My Winter Car, the house's heating is on by default which the player has to pay the electrical bill to keep it on. [2] The garage heating is off by default, however there is likely no consequences with it being off. The player can still turn it on if he wishes too. [3]

The house can be heated using either the fireplace or the electric heater. [4] The electric heating is efficient, but it is expensive. The temperature can be changed from the thermostats on the heaters. It will try to maintain the set temperature. [5] The heater itself can also not fail. [6] The fireplace on the other hand is free (due to the wood pile in the tractor shed) [7][8], but takes time to heat up, and cannot heat the garage, shower area, or the sauna. [9] It is important to keep the house heated, because the water pipes can burst if they freeze, permanently locking out the player from being able to use water. [10] The player will also not be able to sleep if the house is too cold. [11]

The garage area is separate from the main house which means the heating is separate from the rest of the house, if the fireplace was used. [12] Instead, it will be heated up by electric radiators which can temperature can be adjusted or turned off. [13][14]

Trivia[]

  • The reason why the parents' are not in the game is, it became so difficult for the developer to implement them, he just decided not to include them at all. He also said that they are probably in Spain. [15]
  • There could very likely be a Christmas tree in the parents' house. [16]
  • The house can still be burned down like in My Summer Car. [17]

  15. Toplessgun - 1:44:18 on May 26, 2024, “The parents are not home and the reason for that is, because.. it would have made it very difficult to put the parents inside the house and make interactions with them. Considering you are the son of the people. It became so difficult that I have decided that the parents are not in the game like they are not in the summer car, and probably they are in the Spain."
