In real life, 120% is not the maximum cap to fund any municipal department. How do I circumvent?

I wish to know what utility to get that will let me fund city departments beyond 120%- to as high a percentage as I'd like! (and maybe that would let me set funding just by entering an amount of simoleons, and as soon as I submit that, it goes into effect and auto-calculates how many percent that was.

Sure, you may think a single police kiosk covering the entire radius of a city will sound ridiculous to you but that doesn't mean that isn't the above-ground tip of a vast, underground police base for example. Being able to raise funding beyond 120% would make mayors' lives easier and is done in real life.

haha, i like this idea.  you could spend several thousand simoleons on one kiosk to cover the whole city.  Perhaps you should head over to the modding forum and suggest it, and see if its even feasible.

I once rasied the funding up as high as it could go, casue I love my cops and I cheat anyway, but my advisor starts complaining! WHAT THE! Complaining about overfunding cops?!? And if you under fund it, then all hell breaks lose. I do think you should be able to fund stuff to at least 200%. And my advisor should be happy, not angry.

Take a lesson from real life... giving the police more money doesnt always solve more crimes!

If you want your kiosk to cover an entire city then MOD it. You only need to change two values:

Budget Cost and Coverage Area.

There are already tons of mods on the STEX that make utilities have much larger, more realistic coverage areas and capacities. Search for em.
