Sanctuary Hills

Sanctuary Hills (known simply as Sanctuary after the Great War) is a location in the Commonwealth of Fallout 4. Here, the Sole Survivor and their family used to live in The House of Tomorrow before the Great War. It is one of the places the player character may choose to build a settlement in.

History
Before the Great War, Sanctuary Hills was a friendly suburb, where many townsfolk lived. It is the area where the Sole Survivor lived with their partner, child, and Codsworth, their robot butler. Like many places on Earth, Sanctuary Hills was destroyed by an atomic bomb; any citizens that were selected by Vault-Tec went to Vault 111 for safety.

After the war, Sanctuary Hills was reduced to ruins, with its only residents being radroaches, bloatflies and Codsworth. Fortunately, the town has some basis to become a good settlement, for very few critters pass by the area, with the exception of the odd Raider or Super mutant, who have a chance to appear when you further develop the area.

Layout
Sanctuary Hills is accessible via a bridge from Vault 111 and a larger bridge which crosses the nearby river and leads via a road to Concord. The village itself is a road which ends in a slope as well as several houses in various states of decay.

 * You're SPECIAL!, in Shaun's room, under the dresser. Grants +1 to the stat of your choice.
 * There is a small handful of gold bars (usually 3) in the root cellar at the rear of the second blue house north of The House of Tomorrow. There's also an advanced safe, a bed and plenty of food in here. Once the Sole Survivor exits the root cellar, there is a fallen tree that leads to the roof of the house, the tree can be walked up and on the roof there is a duffel bag of supplies next to the chimney.
 * A Nuka Cherry can be found inside the little "office" just outside the lift, after the Sole Survivor exits Vault 111.
 * There is a loot cache returning from Springvale in Fallout 3, where, just before the bridge, there is a bin containing Psycho and three frag grenades.

Sanctuary Hills appears only in Fallout 4.

Bugs

 * Upon fast travel to the settlement, the post-war residents can appear on the roofs of some buildings, making dialogue hard/impossible. You can resolve this by either; fast travelling again (sometimes 2 or 3 times to resolve), waiting for them to walk and fall off the roof or by building stairs up to the roof via the workshop and climbing up.
 * Every once and a while upon fast traveling to Sanctuary Hills, a lone Vertibird will appear over the settlement hovering for a moment then will suddenly lose control and crash, you will take damage if to close to the crash.

When having trading stands, eventually all the settlers will stay wherever your stands are permanently until the stands are destroyed. They just stay there day and night and fast traveling doesn't fix it. (PS4)
