You will have more luck in Mods subforum: viewforum.php?f=201
I think it needs some tool to open sii file and then you can just edit it with notepad or something similar.

Re: make more money
There is also the bank in the game, and you can always even do jobs and build up your account to be able to buy things. But then that takes a little time to do.

Re: make more money
You don't have to earn all the money and "wait for level 20 or something" to buy a rig, use the bank (the in-game one, don't go to your local bank and ask for a loan to buy a virtual truck, they WON'T allow it, don't ask me how I know ...)
You'll earn enough cash to pay it of without trouble.

Re: make more money
Money isn't that much of an issue as explained by others, what you're really looking for is XP because they limit you more in getting upgrades than money.
To get the def file you need to follow the 2nd link of nautofon's post, create a new folder and save it there.
now find def.scs here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\American Truck Simulator
-copy def.scs to the same folder as where you saved the extractor file.
-go to that folder and drag and drop def.scs on the extractor.
-Wait for it to unpack, a new folder should appear.
-in that folder look for \def\economy_data.sii
-make a new folder with the name of your mod
-in that folder add a folder named "def" and copy "economy_data.sii" to that folder
-make your XP changes in economy_data.sii
the lines you want to change for XP are in this bit:
exp_park_bonus: 30000 # bonus for not using the autopark feature on EASY parking spot
exp_park_bonus_medium: 40000 # bonus for not using the autopark feature on MEDIUM parking spot
exp_park_bonus_hard: 90000 # bonus for not using the autopark feature on HARD parking spot
(btw that's taken from my personal mod that I use on start of a new profile, so the numbers will be different)
-copy the folder with the name of your mod to your mod folder (if not already placed there)
------extra info: not needed, but add a manifest, mod image and description file (it just makes things easier to find)
-start game and activate mod.
-park your truck and trailer with the 2nd option
-go back to the profile screen
-remove mod
-continue playing.

Re: make more money
I typically use “rolling” loans to grow my company. I take out a loan needed to buy the next truck, buy the truck, hire a driver, pay off the loan through the money me and the other drivers earn, then repeat. The reality is that debt payments are not very much daily compared to what you should be earning and as you grow your pool of drivers/trucks your company daily income will grow and grow. Bottom line don’t be afraid to use the bank.
