'''Downtown''' is a [[sub-neighborhood]], which was introduced in ''[[Hot Date]]'', and allowing Sims to explore [[SimCity]] beyond their neighborhood. Sims can go there on their own to relax in a park, purchase new clothes, or go on a date and spend a quiet evening in a restaurant or bar. There are many NPCs that wander around Downtown, including [[Miss Crumplebottom]], [[waiter]]s, pianists and so on. There are a total of 10 places for the player to visit, one of them being an empty lot which could be a good place for the player canto build their own Downtown Lot.
 
If the ''[[The Sims: Livin' Large|Livin' Large]]'' expansion is installed, then each of the five neighborhoods will have '''its own separate Downtown'''. Sims from different neighborhoods cannot meet each other downtown, and changes made to one neighborhood's Downtown will not affect the other neighborhoods' Downtowns.
 
Going Downtown costs 50 simoleons, and going from one Downtown lot to another costs another 50. Going back home is free.
Line 12 ⟶ 15:
Sims who go Downtown will find a mixture of [[Townies]] and neighborhood Sims, and may see members of their own families. Family members do not need to be greeted, but the Sim cannot date, hang out, or control them. However, if a Sim who is not with a date grills, any family members on the lot will come to eat a burger.
 
For some default Downtown lots, how they look and what is on them will depend on which other expansion packs are installed, and may depend upon the order in which they were installed. Pet-related items from ''[[The Sims: Unleashed|Unleashed]]'' may not appear unless ''Unleashed'' or a later expansion pack was installed before ''Hot Date''. Tiki, disco, and "country" items from ''[[The Sims: House Party|House Party]]'' may not appear if any expansion packs were installed between ''House Party'' and ''Hot Date'', or if Unleashed or a later expansion pack is installed. (Note that ''[[Compilations of The Sims#The Sims: Complete Collection|The Sims Complete Collection]]'' contains the ''Unleashed'' versions of the lots, meaning that the items from ''House Party'' will not appear by default, but the items from ''Unleashed'' will).
 
If you look closely near the beach, a sea serpent occasionally appears. This may be a reference to the Loch Ness Monster.
Line 43 ⟶ 46:
==Trivia==
*Notes on lots with [[Barbecue#The Sims|grills]], the default Downtown lots which have BBQ grills are not well supplied with places to put the burgers. Since Townies and neighborhood Sims may decide to grill, and since they'll ignore partially eaten plates of burgers even if they'd just cooked them, this can become a problem. Since a Sim will be charged unless they're using a downloaded grill that's been fixed to prevent this, it can also become expensive.
*The street names Wright Way and Main Street were reused in [[Pleasantview]] from ''[[The Sims 2]]''.
