Citizen Database Search

A BepInEx (mod loader) plugin for Shadows of Doubt. Search the citizens database by traits. Press Traits on the database screen, click the traits you know (sex, height, build, hair, eyes, blood type, age and more) and the list shrinks to the people who match. No commands to type, and it works with a controller.

Works on its own, in the game's own citizens database (the first clip below). Optionally, Government Database Rework by NightOwl, highly recommended, makes the database itself much better with a full list of everyone, and the trait search sits right on top of it. The two clips at the end show that combination.

Prefer a terminal? Try Government Terminal by Aion9, which filters the database with typed commands.

If it saves you a long scroll through the records, please leave a like on its Thunderstore page. It keeps me motivated to make more mods. Donations are welcome too:

Part of the Complete modpack.

What it does

• A Traits button next to the on-screen keyboard swaps it for a panel of trait buttons.
• Click to cycle: each button steps through the values the game uses, for example Hair: any, then each hair colour in turn. The list of records updates right away.
• Combine as many traits as you like: only citizens matching all of them stay in the list.
• FROM CASE fills in the traits you already have evidence for in the open case.
• CLEAR resets every trait, DONE brings the keyboard back.
• Detective mode (optional): only traits you have evidence for in the open case can be picked. Off by default, so every trait is free to pick.

The mod's own labels (Traits and the trait panel) are in English for now, whatever language the game is in. Everything works the same.

Config

After one launch, edit BepInEx/config/sm3gm.sod.citizensearch.cfg with the game closed.

Setting	Default	Meaning
Database / LinkFingerprints	true	Selecting a record in the database app gives that citizen's fingerprints their letter and adds them to the file.
Search / Mode	Open	Open: every trait can be picked freely. Detective: only traits you have evidence for in the open case (FROM CASE fills them in).
