</>What does Payday Shortcut (Give Cash) do?
The honest loop in Thief Simulator is simple: case the house, steal the goods, drive to the fence, sell, repeat. It's fun — right up until you just want to buy the good lockpick and get on with it. Payday Shortcut skips the sell-and-save cycle entirely. Type in any amount and it lands in your wallet on the spot. Now the tool shop is your playground. Grab the pro lockpick, the better crowbar, the fancy gadgets, a nicer car, all the upgrades you'd normally spend hours saving toward. Or hit Reset Cash to wipe your balance back to zero and run a self-imposed broke challenge from scratch. Both directions, one mod. Ideal for players who've done the grind before and want to jump straight to the fun tools, or anyone setting up a specific scenario — a fully kitted thief or a completely broke one — without playing the whole economy out first.
</>What is Payday Shortcut (Give Cash)?

Skip the scout-steal-sell grind and buy the tools, cars, and unlocks you actually want. Grab it from the 1,600+ mods on ProjectMods, a free, community-first modding platform.
</>Common questions about Payday Shortcut (Give Cash)
What does Payday Shortcut do in Thief Simulator?
Payday Shortcut lets you set your own money in Thief Simulator instead of earning it through jobs. With it you can drop any amount of cash straight into your wallet on demand, or wipe your balance back to zero whenever you like. Normally money comes slowly — scout a house, steal loot, haul it to your car, then sell it to a fence — and every tool, car, and neighborhood unlock is gated behind that grind. This mod hands you the funds directly, so you decide how rich you are and skip straight to buying the gear and areas you actually want.
What's the difference between Give Cash and Reset Cash?
They're the two controls in Payday Shortcut, and they do opposite things in Thief Simulator. Give Cash adds money to your wallet — you set an amount and it lands instantly, as many times as you want, so you can top up a little or make yourself seriously rich. Reset Cash does the reverse: it wipes your balance back to zero. That's handy if you overshot, if you want to feel the early-game money pressure again, or if you're testing how much a run actually earns. Between them you have full control of your bank balance in both directions, up or down, at any point.
Can I choose exactly how much money to add?
Yes — Payday Shortcut's Give Cash option lets you pick the amount rather than handing you a fixed lump. You type in how much you want and it's added to your Thief Simulator wallet right away, so you can drop in just enough for the next tool you're eyeing or a huge sum to buy everything at once. Because you can use it repeatedly, you're never locked into a single number; add a bit now, more later, whatever the moment calls for. That control is the point — you set your own pace, whether that's a small nudge past a paywall or instant millionaire status.
Can I use the cash to unlock new areas and buy expensive gear?
Absolutely — money from Payday Shortcut spends exactly like money you'd earn in Thief Simulator. Once it's in your wallet you can put it toward anything the game sells: better lockpicks and tools, vehicles, equipment upgrades, and the pricier neighborhood unlocks that normally take a long grind to afford. Because you control the amount, you can buy your way into later areas early or kit yourself out fully from the start. The cash isn't a separate currency or a locked bonus — it's your real in-game balance, so every shop, upgrade, and unlock treats it just like hard-stolen earnings.
Why would I use Payday Shortcut in a game about stealing for money?
Because the fun of Thief Simulator isn't the same for everyone, and money is often the thing standing between you and it. Some players love the sneaking and lockpicking but resent the slow sell-and-save loop that gates every upgrade. Payday Shortcut removes that wall so you can jump straight to the tools, cars, and areas you're curious about. It's great for a relaxed second playthrough, for testing high-end gear without the grind, or for setting up a specific scenario for a video. You keep the parts of the heist you enjoy and skip the accounting — as the tagline puts it, why steal when you can just have money?
