The instructions are correct. But the passage of the plot does not help. Similarly, the opportunity to receive an alternative punishment is blocked.
But this bug accelerates the development of the plot. In one day you can get 2 events in the pool and shower!
And if you go home in a sports uniform, you'll just come in a sports uniform the next day.
I have no clue why you would want 2 events in the pool and shower, which has no development progress for the plot. You'll have to explain that one.
Yes, but if you arrive at school still in your gym uniform, it will immediately kick you into the gym area. If that happens, you can't go anywhere or do anything until it lets you change, which is almost always won't be at that time but at the time of PE class. In that case, you just missed 2 classes because you can't walk into the hallway to get to class.
It does correct itself sometimes, not saying it doesn't, but most of the time, it bites you in the ass because you failed to return to PE after the time bug has stopped and simply change clothes.
As far as the alternate punishment, after I missed 2 classes this way, I didn't notice anything after school about it until the next day. Because I missed those 2 classes and failed to turn in homework, I was supposed to I guess report to the principals office at 1400 (even though it said nothing) the next day I checked and I had received $900 in fines. That's when I decided to make full use of the glitch and immediately after PE and the bug started, I went to the nurse to work (only 3 minutes passed instead of 3 hours), then to the hotel to work, then checked for event at home, and then back to PE before 11:30, passed time till I was told I was late, shower and change clothes, rest of the day free. Every school day that the glitch happened I did this.
So the passage of the plot, seems to help quit a bit don't you think. I would have otherwise missed that event in the basement at the house and missed working to make money at the hotel each day to work at the nurses office to pay off the fines because of the glitch not letting me change clothes and then forgetting about it.
