Do new citizens arrive?

[PeeliBinbin]

After a few cases, a lot of people die, so is there a point where , when cases are closed, new residents appear in the apartments of murder victims and even of murderers when caught. I want to know if this happens in either of the modes this game has: Dead of night and Sandbox. This would be a feature.

I'd be fine if deaths don't get repopulated. I would prefer for jobs to at least be replaced with fresh employee

Repopulation would be good for sandbox games, in which you are going for high social credit levels or if you want to stay in one city rather than having to move if some apartment blocks are filled with dead bodies or if specific jobs don't replace workers. It would let you keep all your progress in one longer lasting city.

I don't believe they do. Somebody was doing an experiment to see what happens if you let a murderer kill everybody (They were on a small map with only 1 residential building). At the last report the killer had completely cleared out the residential building, leaving only the homeless to work on. I haven't seen an update since then, but it tells us enough that people are not moving into the vacant building to repopulate.

ight thanks, it would be good if you could enable this as a world setting.

When the game first came out, the developer was pretty active on the steam forum, and I think I remember one of the things he said was effectively "no, NPCS do not repopulate your city, there are basically a finite amount of NPCs in your save"
