Realistic Population Density

This is a manual adjustment of spawn values for each zone in the game.
Spawn rates were changed within a range of 25% to 120% to reduce excessive traffic and pedestrian density.

The goal is to keep a balanced police to pedestrian ratio and avoid overloading the world with law enforcement spawns. The result is a more populated but still controlled game environment that does not affect core gameplay.

– Zone spawn rates adjusted between 25% and 120%
– Time of day controls maximum population levels, preventing unrealistic crowds at night
– Preserved ambient pedestrian activities, such as daytime-only scenarios and nighttime inactivity
– Increased airport activity while staying within engine limits for pedestrian spawns, with added traffic density
– Controlled traffic and pedestrian levels, enough to make the world feel active without overload
– Manually tuned zones based on local characteristics and background design
– Residential low-density areas kept quiet, for example small wealthy districts
– Tourist areas adjusted for higher weekend activity
– Nightlife districts set to higher activity in evenings and weekends
