How to Get Out of Jail in My Winter Car
The only way to get out of jail is to serve your sentence. One jail day equals 2 hours real time. If you don’t want to serve time, open up the MSC Editor and scroll down to find the following options and set the recommended values beside them:
- All wanted values: 0
- Numberofbools: 1
- Fatigue/ Sleep: 100
- Time: 20 P.M
You could also change the savefile.txt in the My Winter Car save folder and change the numberofbools to 1. Once you have set all the values, load the game and spend one day in jail sleeping. You will be released the next day, and you will find yourself back at the PSK bus stop.
