</>What does City Budget (Give Money) do?
Some mayors want the challenge of a tight budget. The rest of us want to build a stadium, a metro line and three parks before lunch. City Budget lets you set any amount and add it to your treasury on demand - the budget panel and the cash counter update just like real income rolling in. Use it to bankroll a big infrastructure push, dig yourself out of a bad loan, or just remove money as a limiting factor entirely so you can focus on the city you're picturing. Changed your mind and want the challenge back? The Reset button wipes the treasury to zero so you can start the money game over. Pairs naturally with Bottomless Budget if you'd rather set it and forget it.

</>Common questions about City Budget (Give Money)
What does City Budget do in Cities: Skylines?
City Budget, sometimes called Give Money, is a Cities: Skylines mod that lets you set any amount and add it straight to your treasury on demand. The budget panel and the cash counter update just like real income rolling in, so the money is instantly there to spend. Use it to bankroll a big infrastructure push, dig yourself out of a bad loan, or remove money as a limiting factor entirely and focus on the city you're picturing. Changed your mind and want the challenge back? A Reset button wipes the treasury to zero so you can start the money game over. It's a ProjectMods mod.
How do I choose how much money City Budget gives me?
City Budget puts the amount entirely in your hands in Cities: Skylines — you type in any figure you want and add it to the treasury on demand, as many times as you like. There's no fixed grant size, so you can drop in exactly enough to cover a single stadium, or a huge sum to bankroll a whole district at once. Each time you add funds, the budget panel and cash counter tick up as though income just arrived, so it reads naturally rather than feeling like a jarring jump. That precision is what separates a deliberate top-up from a blanket infinite-money switch: you decide the number every time.
What does the Reset button in City Budget do?
The Reset button is City Budget's way of giving you the challenge back in Cities: Skylines. Where the main function adds money to your treasury, Reset does the opposite — it wipes the treasury to zero so you can start the money game over from scratch. That's handy if you granted yourself a big sum to test a build, then want to play the rest of the save honestly, or if you simply want a clean financial slate after experimenting. It only touches your cash balance, not your buildings or layout, so your city stays exactly as you built it while the bank account resets. Nothing about it is permanent — you can add funds again any time.
Does City Budget change my income, or just add a lump sum?
City Budget adds a lump sum to your Cities: Skylines treasury — it doesn't permanently change your ongoing income from taxes and services. Think of it as a cash injection you trigger whenever you need it, rather than a passive boost that keeps paying out every week. Your city still earns and spends normally around it, so budgets, upkeep and loan repayments all behave as usual; you've just topped up the balance they draw from. If you'd rather money kept itself refilled automatically instead of you adding it by hand, that's exactly what Bottomless Budget does — City Budget is the deliberate, one-shot tool, and the two pair naturally.
When should I use City Budget instead of Bottomless Budget?
Reach for City Budget when you want a deliberate, controlled amount of money at a specific moment in Cities: Skylines — funding one big project, covering a bad loan, or setting the treasury to an exact figure before a build. You stay in charge of every top-up. Bottomless Budget, another ProjectMods mod, is the set-and-forget alternative: pick a floor and it refills automatically forever. City Budget suits players who like precision and the option to Reset to zero and play on honestly; Bottomless Budget suits those who never want to think about money again. Many players keep both installed and switch depending on the session. Both are from ProjectMods.
