Downtown in The Sims
Downtown was introduced in Hot Date, and allowed Sims to explore SimCity beyond their neighbourhood. Sims can go there on their own to relax in a park or purchase new clothes, or they can go with a date and spend a quiet evening in a restaurant or at a bar. There are many NPCs that wander around Downtown, including Mrs Crumplebottom, waiters, pianists and so on. Included below is a list of the different lots Sims can visit Downtown:


 * 21 Wright Way, Hedman's Hideaway: There's not an awful lot you can do here except enjoy a nice meal at the fancy restaurant or play on the slot machines.


 * 22 Wright Way, Cory's Place: This is a nice outdoor area, with a small restaurant, a fishpond and a rental shack.


 * 24 Main Street, Wrensday's: This large lot has two stories. On the first floor, there is a restaurant, a small shop with a clothes rack and a pinball machine. The second floor has a bar, piano, chess table and a lot of seating areas.
