Downtown

Downtown is a Sub-neighborhood avalible in The Sims Hot Date Expansion Pack, and The Sims 2 Expansion pack, Nightlife.

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:

There's not much you can do here except enjoy a nice meal in the fancy restaurant, get a drink from the bar, or play on the slot machines.
 * 21 Wright Way, Hedman's Hideaway:

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

There's hardly anything there, but there is a rental booth, so Sims could go there and have a picnic.
 * 23 Wright Way, Vacant Lot:

This large lot has two stories. On the first floor, there is an outdoor restaurant, a small shop which sells formalwear and has several bookcases, a magazine rack, a flower stand, and a pinball machine. There is also a relaxation room where Sims can lean back and listen to music. The second floor has a bar, piano, chess table and several chairs.
 * 24 Main Street, Wrensday's:

On this lot, there is a small shop that mainly sells magazines. It also has bookcases and places for Sims to sit and read. In addition, there's a restaurant, an ice cream stand, and a small game room with a jukebox, pool table and pinball machines. If Unleashed is installed, there will also be a shop that sells pet treats, some pet supplies, and some small pets.
 * 25 Main Street, Solana Town Centre:

As its name suggests, this lot is a mall. It has four different shops along with a small restaurant and an entertainment room. If Unleashed is installed, Sims will be able to buy pet treats there. If House Party was present when Hot Date was installed, the restaurant will have a tiki theme. If House Party wasn't present when Hot Date was installed, it will be a Burger Clown.
 * 26 Main Street, Landgraab Mall:

This lot has a fancy restaurant, a bar, and a small shop. There are many things to do here, such as dancing in the DJ room, playing pool or even riding the mechanical bull. If House Party was not present when Hot Date was installed, the decor will be "generic upscale", there will be three pool tables instead of one, and a jukebox instead of the DJ booth.
 * 27 Main Street, Old Farm Square:

Here, there is a shop and a swimwear store, a small swimming pool, various food counters and a room with six pinball machines, slot machines and a jukebox. There's a bar on the second floor. There is a BBQ grill outside, and there are chess tables on the sidewalk.
 * 28 Main Street, Barrett's Boardwalk:

At the beach, there are a couple of fish ponds with a rental shack, a BBQ grill, a hotdog stand, a small shop where you can get new swimming suits. You can't go in the sea though, of course.
 * 29 Main Street, SimCity Beach:

This park, presumably named after Mrs Crumplebottom or one of her family members, is home to a BBQ grill, two ponds with a rental shack and a hotdog stand. There's not an awful lot here besides, apart from a love swing.
 * 30 Main Street, Crumplebottom Memorial Park:
