FOUND CHEATS!

[GirthBrooks]

Well I was doing some exploring and found there is a cheats menu!
Press ` to open the menu and type:
cheat.money or cheat.level or cheat.stage.complete

The game has a syntax manager which tells you what to type if you start randomly hitting keys and I pressed 'c' to find this. Now I dont know how to add money yet but as soon as I do Ill post it. I think my syntax is off and I need to add cheats.money '999,999' with parenthasies or whatever. If you find out how to get it working PLEASE POST your anser here. :D

Small correction... Its 'cheating.money' 'cheating.level' and 'cheating.stage.complete'
the game is expecting a value but I havent got it working yet.

Same here, couldn't get it working. If you find out please post!

I spent an hour trying to get these working with various syntax looking up the game engine development options. Nothing. I can BET there is a launch handle that needs to be triggerd first.
e.g. 'Game.exe' -dev before they start working.

I tried to hex edit the game saves but they appear to be encrypted. All revelent HEX & binary values (money, dates, value, ect) are 'missing' (tried 8bit, 16bit & 32bit interger pools) GameWiz32 also does not work - this is a first!

SUCCESSFUL MONEY HACK! Giving yourself an initial boost makes the game much more fun.

HACKING YOUR MONEY THE EASY WAY:
If your not comfortable installing software to hack it yourself,
I have created a fresh new game with the starting money pre-set at $600,000,000
You can just drop this savegame in your
...\Documents\My Games\Skyscraper Simulator folder... (nothing fancy here)

Here is the file:

....How to hack your money the long, long way:
.
I used CheatEngine to find the address located here: http://www.cheatengine.org
Install this (you can use it on any game), when installing make sure you choose not to install the bloatware and always do a custom installation and uncheck AVG anti virus and so forth (everything). Just like you would do with DAEMON TOOLS installtion if your familiar with it.
.
0. Start the game and have your current game running, than Alt+Tab out...
1. After starting cheatengine click on the little computer icon in the upper Right corner and select skyscraper.exe (it may have some numberers before it, ignore this)
2. Look at your money and than tab into cheatengine and type in the VALUE section the amount without commas (eg 12947653 = $12,947,653)...
3. Scan Type: Exact Value, Value Type: DOUBLE --this is all you need
4. Than click NEW SCAN (the game will be scanned for your money) *poof* found!
5. Now you will have an ADDRESS in the upper Left in green and red, double click on it and it will appear at the bottom... (you just added it as one for CheatEngine to watch)
6. Click on the new value on the BOTTOM once and than hit ENTER (this is the default method to change the VALUE of this address)....
7. Your value may look like this '13679667.574193' which means $13,679,667 (ignore the end numbers on the Right)... Now change the value to whatever you want, I suggest trying 500000000.574193 now for $500 million. Done. remember you can always come back to any game and add more money later!
.
As long as the value on the bottom of cheat engine is CHECKED it will LOCK your money to this value. If you change your money and then UN-CHECK it it will allow the game to properly deduct money as you spend it... I think its great to start with a tonn of money to just learn the game if your having difficulty....
ENJOY!!!!
