How to unplug and replug the phone in My Winter Car

The phone is your gateway to jobs in My Winter Car, but it can sometimes glitch and fail to work as intended. You’ll need to replug the wire if that happens.

The plug the phone is connected to is hidden behind the walls, and finding it is pretty tricky. Here’s how you can fix your communication problems if the phone isn’t working as intended.

How to replug the phone in My Winter Car

The first task is to determine whether the phone is working at all. You’ll find the phone in the front portion of your house, right after you enter through the door. The phone is placed on a chair. Pick up the phone and listen if there’s a dialer tone. If it’s silent, you’ll need to replug the wire.

If you look carefully, you’ll find that the wire goes inside the floor, with the plug hidden behind the walls. Aim at the corner of the wall, and press the Q button. This allows you to reach when trying to look into different areas. Use Q and aim at the right corner beside the chair.

If you angle your mouse carefully, you’ll find the plug (use the image above as a reference). In my image, you’ll find that the phone is plugged correctly. If you find the wire unplugged, you’ll find the socket empty, and the cablehead lying beside it.

Align the cablehead carefully with the socket, and plug it in. If you complete the process correctly, your phone should start working, and there will be a dialer tone. However, you can still make a call and not find anyone responding to it. That can happen if the NPC you’re calling isn’t available at home.

You will need the phone to start assembling the Corris Rivett, the main project car. You’ll also need to call NPCs to find jobs like driving taxis or delivering adverts.

My Winter Car is steadily attracting new players in the holiday season, and we already have a fair amount of mods to try out.

Available via NexusMods, the mods will allow you to go beyond the base vanilla experience. Some of them are mere add-ons and enhancements of features that are already live inside the game. Others might be a bit more towards the ‘cheating’ side of things, or you can use them to ease your gameplay experience.

This guide will give you a brief overview of what I consider the best mods in the current build of My Winter Car and what you can expect from them.

Best mods to use in My Winter Car

Before we can deep dive into the collection, you’re going to need a NexusMods account. Thankfully, it can be opened for free, and all the mods you see here won’t cost you any money.

• FL2S BOX: This is practically the most broken mod you can currently get from NexusMods. This mod activates the God Mode and allows you to do whatever you want. You can have infinite stats, teleports wherever you want, and even toggle off the permadeath feature. Honestly, this mod should be used if you only care about finishing the game as quickly as possible.
• MWC Cheatbox: Very similar to the FL2S BOX, but offers fewer advantages. Interestingly, this mod allows you to skip jail if you want, while also having item spawn and infinite money.
• MWC Advanced Steering: Steering on the frozen lands isn’t the easiest of tasks, which can be done better with the help of this mod. Once enabled, you can use precise mouse steering while driving your cars.
• My Winter Backpack: This is one of my favorite mods since it adds a backpack that acts as your inventory. It’s an innovative solution that allows you to min-max what you want to do without making the game feel broken.
• SAW – Save AnyWhere: Instead of having to pee and save the game, you can use this mod to add an instasave button.

These are my favorite mods that you can use in My Winter Car. The collection of available choices should increase in the days to come. All mods have to be installed carefully.

How to install mods in My Winter Car

The first task is to follow the specific information that you’ll find for a mod. Once done, download the mod files. Extract it to the main My Winter Car folder (where the game is installed). Run the game, and the mods should run automatically.
