A useful feature of the game is Unlimited funding, which gives you the freedom to build and upgrade without any monetary issues. There are other features, like changing the day to night and things like that. Before you go overboard, be sure to explore the developer console to see all of the options that are available to you.
I’d like to point out that I’ve done this to almost every game and the worst thing you can do is mess around too much. Don’t be like me and have to uninstall games to fix issues. A developer mode is a powerful tool, but it can also be dangerous. If you are not careful, you can easily crash your game or corrupt your save files and your game. Be sure to use developer mode with caution and make backups of your saved files before making any major changes.
