Using this Savegame Editor
------------------
1. Close the game if its running
2. Launch this editor and press 'Open' and locate your savegame:

For steam cloud users:
Steam\userdata\*your steam Id*\606800\remote

3. Then edit values on the editor and press 'Save' and overwrite your savegame
4. Launch game and load your savegame

Additional notes:
------------------
- If you are editing a savegame outside the steam folder above you need to make sure you apply
your changes manually to where ever the savegame is stored as well. In my case its stored at two locations
at the same time.
- Remember to make a backup of savegame yourself if necessary!

Notes
-------
Attention Steam users!
To avoid your edited savegame gets overwritten on game start you need
to disable steam cloud for this game. Open the game properties in Steam
and click on 'Updates' tab and uncheck the Steam Cloud feature.

By default only a few items are shown in the editor to make it easier for beginners.
If you wish to edit everything check the 'Advanced Options'.

Some items are only shown in the editor if they exist in the savegame.
For example if you have no mails/product, then there is no editor option for them.


====================================================================

Mute Hotkeys:
------------------
To temporarily disable the Hotkeys, press CTRL-H after trainer is
activated. You can use CTRL-H to re-activate the Hotkeys as well.
You can also mute specific hotkeys by changing the hotkey you want to mute to 'NONE'.


VR Mode
------------------
- HTC Vive
Click on the 'VR Mode' button. Trainer options will now be drawn as buttons. Activate the trainer as usual with your keyboard. Put your HTC Vive on and when you are ingame press the 'Menu' button on the hand controllers to open the steam overlay. At the bottom you can click on the 'Desktop' button and you can easily press options on the trainer with your hand controller now.

- Oculus Rift
As of now the oculus has no unique input device and uses keyboard or xbox controller. Both are support by the trainer already.



Troubleshooting
------------------
Requirements:
- Windows 7 or above
- 64-Bit OS (32-Bit is NOT supported!)
- .NET Framework 4.6 or above: www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=48137
- VC++ Redistributable 2015 (x86 AND x64): www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=48145
- DirectX9 for controller support: www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=34429

Known issues:
If you are using a Comodo product and the trainer crashes with Exception code: 0xc0000005, it is caused by Comodo.

I go to the directory of the game and do not see profiles anywhere

i cant find the save file it does not show up in game directory

I'm trying to use the money part of the editor but when I then try to pay bills I keep getting a non-sufficient funds error. Now the bank is threatening to foreclose on my business and my investors are threatening to sue me. Does this not work for real life start ups?

Seriously though awesome that you guys still make trainers for small little games like this. Thanks.

For steam users with cloud savegames the savegames are stored in:

Steam\userdata\*your steam Id*\606800\remote

@Varacka: I start a new game, exit the game. Edit the savegame and give myself lots of money. THen start the game, load the savegame and was able to redeem the credit of the bank without any issues.

works fine
using this directory:
"C:\Users\$NAME$\Saved Games\Startup Company"

[Edited by DerJFK, 8/13/2017 6:19:04 AM]

This is the directory I had to use as well, wasn't working with the STEAM location.

Many thanks for the trainer works fine (well the money does) and as you have said START A NEW GAME!!

If you have turned off the cloud then i THINK that the save is in:

c:/users/YOURNAME/ savedgames/ startup company/saves

it is normally the bottom one but once loaded check that the name of the company is the right one and then edit the money

if your cloud save is still one then the folder is the one in the write up
( Steam\userdata\*your steam Id*\606800\remote )
Hope that is is A: right and B: helpful
🙂
