Thanks! I installed the updated files
but I'm still seeing 'Simulation Game' as the product when I have all DLC and Real World active.
Unactive and it works. I have not tested which is the culprit.
I also wanted to say that same script asks for a set-up of $10,000 M
but the game always starts me at $5,000 M
this also seems to be a DLC and Real World mod issue.

Are you starting as a private company? Pretty sure that halves your actual starting value.

makes sense, if you start as a private company your in effect using half your money to buy the half your company that would be public otherwise.

if you really want to add more money just add a custom goal (or more than one) like this. - this would give you another 5 billion when your company ownership gets to 60% then another 5 billion when it gets to 80 as well as personal cash..

[SUBGOAL]
Goal Title=Take Ownership of your company
Goal Description=Own at least 60 Percent of your company
Number of Game Years=25

[SUBGOAL VALUES]
Ownership=60

[SUBGOAL REWARDS]
Corporate cash change=5000
Personal cash change=500

[SUBGOAL]
Goal Title=Take more Ownership of your company
Goal Description=Own at least 80 Percent of your company
Number of Game Years=50
Parent Goal=Take Ownership of your company

[SUBGOAL VALUES]
Ownership=80

[SUBGOAL REWARDS]
Corporate cash change=5000
Personal cash change=500
