Any easy way to add more money to a save file?

Not that easy but it can be done by editing your saved game XML file
NOTE: this is very likely to break a saved game if not followed correctly so it is essential to create a backup of your saved game. I take no responsibility if this doesn't work!

Find your saved game folder, something like C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Oxymoron Games\Project Hospital\maps
Unzip the contents of the saved game zip folder to a temporary location on your PC.
Open the largest XML file that was in the zip with the name of your hospital, for example, Totbourne General Hospital.xml - you are best off using an advanced text editor such as Notepad++ as these XML files are huge.
Search for m_currentBalance
Change the number between the two m_currentBalance tags

Drop the edited XML file into the zip file and then drop it back into the saved game folder.

Thank you!

On a mac, how do you drop it back into the zip file? I've tried both putting the folder (unzipped) back into the maps folder as well as compressing it back into a zip and dropping it back in, and both times when i try to load the saved game is says no .xml was found. When i drop the original zip file back into the folder it works fine but obviously has no change in xml data. I even tried putting the zip on a removable drive and using notpad++ on my roommates windows computer and doing the changes, but when i brought the file back over to mac it was uncompressed, even though it showed it a zip file on the windows machine. This seems like so much work for a simple text edit to a xml file.

Hi,
Did the change as above, went into the game, the money stay as the old amount.
Opened back the changed XML file, the value had been changed back to old amount after I loaded it in the game. Why I said so, because I did double check the amount after I saved my edit. But the game changed it back.

What to do now?
