Where do the people come from?

[rigurat 6]

I was always wondering since the first SimCity.

 

When you start your first city, with no neighboring cities, and people move in, where do those people come from?  I'm guessing from the "world" which is beyond the regional highway.  Are they just spawned from thin air?

 

When you have an international airport, which provides tourists, does it function as a "people generator" for tourists?  And does the Arcology functions as a people generator for citizens?

 

I'm pretty sure SimCity doesn't simulate procreation right?

 

Do the servers have some sort of "global population"?  If a sim dies, is that considered in the population census"

 

It also seems you can never get a lot of people when you need them!

Little known fact: Sims are actually plants.

Sims are sent back in time because they are running away from SimCity 6 because EA made such a mess out of it that even simulated Sims won't live there.

they come from the code what has been implanted for the game they are all numbers! Not unless you want to give some an individuality and later on will start to annoy you to death telling you pointless things such as not enough transport systems or my job sucks could do with a casino or something...

IMHO following theories/possibilities exist

 

-out of rabbit holes;

or

-everytime a Sim dies in The Sims, (s)he gets spawned in SimCity

or

-they have been snatched by the pod people

or

-they made the wrong choice between the blue & the red pill

Sims come from a specific sequence of "opens" and "closes" as electrons pass through a large spectrum of logic gates.

you mean.. they are the manifestation of the Higgs boson............

now that i think of it... wasn't SC2013 announced the day after CERN announced that the LHC did indeed do what it was designed to do?

When you ask this question it's bound to be answered by more questions actually. But yeah, I do actually wonder to. but I think nobody can actually ever give the answer. Because it's the same question as: Where do we come from? Meaning, some think because of god, but then where did he came from? Others think from the big bang and then everything that came after that? But then how did that actually started?...It's a question where you will never be able to find an answer on. Mainly because if we did. We would just not have any more usage of life anymore.

More mysteriously yet than the Higgs, they essentially come from our neural networks in the Great Scheme of Things

Wait I came over all German then

In SimCity 3000 you would drain your neighbour cities for Sims if you made a huge metropolis too fast.
