Artmoney works like a dream!! I'm using version 6.23 and you can find it at http://www.artmoney.ru/. Here's how it works:

1. Start Artmoney, then start SC4 and load your city/start a new city

2. Pause your city so your money value won't change.

3. Remember your monetary value and start a search in Artmoney as follows:

search type - exact value
value - your mentary value
type - integar (standard)

4. It might return hundreds of values it found or might return the 2 you need. If it returns just 2 then you can change those values to whatever you like. I seem to have hit a limit of 999,999,999. Anything higher dropped back down to this. After you've got the value you want entered you can freeze it by clicking in the "F" column. Now you can spend to you hearts delight and your money level never drops. I also recommend saving your city at this point, just to make sure you'll have that money when you reload your city. When you go back into your city unpause the game b/c I noticed the change doesn't take effect until you do. It also might take a second or two to update, so be patient.

5. If you still have more than 2 then go back into SC4 and spend some money. Now remember than new monetary value.

6. Back in Artmoney use the Filter tool and using the same criteria as before enter your new monetary value and it will eliminate those values from your previous searched list that don't match. I only needed to filter once and had the 2 I needed. Do this as many times as you need to in order to narrow it down.

I'm not sure why there are 2 values with 2 different memory addresses. It could be one that is used for the actual value and the other is for when that value appears somewhere else, like in the budget or in the display when you load your city from region mode. Also I recommend using the freeze option becuase I tried it without and I got similar results to the trainer that some where I suddenly had a huge defecit after then month changed. I was suddenly -$4 million and all I had was a power plant! Also after that happened the memory address changed so I had to do a new search. Each time you load your city you'll have to repeat this process because it stores it somewhere different each time you play. Once found though just freeze it and you should be set. If you want to make extra sure that you don't go balistically bancrupt just save your game and close down Artmoney.

If anyone knows anything contrary to any of the above please speak up becuase I didn't test this in every possible situation.

Anyone try it? How's it working for you? I've been using it for a couple days now and I've had no problems.
