Money Cheat [Windows]

Edit the save file for more money

Prerequisites

• A tool to open *.zip files. I use 7-Zip
  
• A tool to edit *.xml files. I use Notepad++

Find the save files

The save files for Project Hospital are under your LocalLow Folder. Copy & Paste this into your File Manager:

%appdata%\..\LocalLow\Oxymoron Games\Project Hospital\maps

Open and edit the save file

Search the *.zip file you want to edit. I highly recommend to create a backup copy of the file.

Open the ZIP file, there's only one XML file in it. Extract it to anywhere on your harddisk and open it with Notepad++.

You can also edit it directly if 7-Zip knows where to find Notepad++ (Extras > Options > Editor).

In the XML file search (CTRL + F) for "balance". You should find the line <m_currentBalance>xxxxxx</m_currentBalance>.


Edit the value to whatever you wish.

Create the new save file

Insert the modified *.xml back into the *.zip file (Drag & Drop) replacing the existing file. Or if you modified it directly in the ZIP, just save it and close Notepad++, 7-Zip should offer you to update the modified file.

At last you need to make shure, the *.xml file has the exact same name as the *.zip does. If your *.zip is called "Save1.zip" the file in it has to have the name "Save1.xml".

Done. Close Notepad++ and 7-Zip, start the game and open the new save file. Enjoy Project Hospital whitout money worries.

Can't find the files in roaming. Saves aren't cloud saves too

Does it work on the prestige level too? :D

Since the last patch I get a message saying my save is corrupted when doing the change. I used to use this for a bit of starter cash on every new Hospital.

It works only when it's not a save in cloud

As of now in order to do this, follow the steps above but do that with both XML files

Everyime i do this, the save zip becomes smaller and i can't load my save anymore.

Every time I change the balance it doesn't show ingame. I tried setting it to 9 million and the game was still showing 100k without changing the balance when I was spending money on equipment.

But I just warn you. For safety please create a backup of your file. Sometimes it can happen that the file got corrupted
