Population Rebalance v0.1.1
Tweaks cims’ lifecycle for more balanced population and education needs. The goal of this mod is to rebalance population structure and education needs, to be more realistic. It will reduce the number of Children and increase the number or Teens, thus balancing the needs for Elementary and High Schools.
Features
Lifecycle adjustments
– Default thresholds for licycle stages are changed from 21/36/84 to 12/24/77. As a result, population structure should be more realistic i.e. 15% Children, 10% Teens, 60% Adults and 15% Seniors. These are approximate numbers ofc, may differ in your cities.
Graduation probability
– Graduation probability is tweaked so the average time spent in schools is more aligned to the cim’s lifcycle. For fully staffed and efficient schools, it will be ~9 years for Elementary School, ~6 years for High School, ~6 years for College and ~9 years for University. The numbers will vary, depending on how well your city is developed.
Education needs
– As a result of the above changes, you should need less Elementary Schools, approx. 1 per 10000 citizens and a bit more High Schools, approx. 1 per 30000. College and University needs are not changed much, 1 College per 35000 and 1 University per 50-60 thousands cims.
