Cheat Engine

I'm playing this game, Primetime, and during the demo I could find the addresses related to the budgets, but in the full game, I can't seem to find them at all.

The number I need to find is 101052800.

Leaving the Value type as is (4 Bytes) comes up with nothing. Changing it to float comes up with nothing either. Changing it to "All" comes up with over 160,000 addresses with a value of 128, which doesn't make sense to me, since it isn't what I searched.

Anybody have any ideas as to how I can find this address?

The value could be represented differently in the full game. Have you tried starting from scratch by doing a first scan with value type set to "All" and scan type set to "Unknown initial value," then continually scanning for increased/decreased/unchanged values accordingly?

Ok, I figured it out, but I'm not too sure what the Value's mean.

Searching when starting a fresh game (without simming to the next week) allows me to find the addresses, and they've got the values associated with the budgets. However, if I sim to the next week (regardless of editing the value), the value changes to a weird number.
For example: One of the budgets was edited to 13,081,750,000. After the first week, it's value displayed in Cheat Engine is -1.472736006E29.
The other budget values are like this, and I think it's why I couldn't find the addresses without started a new save.

So, my question is, what the hell is that value it's at now, and why did it change to that?

Look at it with a different variable type. E.g. perhaps it's not a double but a float or 4 byte, or even a string.
And check it out in the memory viewer, if possible post the bytes that make it up with 8 bytes in front and 8 bytes after it
