Hi, you can always edit the save file (but please make a backup copy before, a mistake in syntax can cause the game to be unable to load it) ... or subscribe to a mod (More money, 3x Money ... ) O:-).

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.

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?

As above, I changed, but the amount always reveal back to original amount, after I loaded the game and found out amount no change. I closed the game and counter-checked the file I edited before, that amount had been auto-changed by the game to old amount.

Not that I did not edit or I changed the wrong file.

By default, the saves are saved to a zip file because they consist of 3 files. Please try to unzip the files and edit the uncompressed XML, then store it directly in the map folder(AppData\LocalLow\Oxymoron Games\Project Hospital\maps). Bare XML is all the game needs; no need to put it in the zip or put it in the special folder with the SaveInfo.xml and preview.png.
