[[File:Downtown icon.png|left|link=]]'''Downtown''' shipsis a [[sub-neighborhood]] shipped with ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife]]''. There are [[residential lot]]s for sale as well as [[community lot]]s. When viewed in the [[neighborhood]] view, by default it is nighttime as opposed to the usual daytime for other neighborhoods and sub-neighborhoods. The player can toggle daytime/nighttime view in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Going downtown is free of charge, as is going from one lot to another.
 
If ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons|Seasons]]'' is installed, the seasonal progression of the sub-neighborhood is;: Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring.
 
==Overview==
Downtown does not come with any families ready to play, either in the town or in the Sim Bin. However, there is a family of ghosts that can be resurrected and played, the [[Tricou family]] as well as the Tricou family victim, [[Rainelle Neengia]]. Most of the Tricou family are buried in Gothier Green Lawns, the graveyard next to the family mansion. Across the road from the water tower there is a crashed UFO site which is a significantly smaller crater than [[Strangetown]]'s, this may be a reference to the ''[[SimCity]]'' games, and their infamous UFO attacks.
 
Downtown has a wide variety of [[Townie#Downtownies|townies]] and also introduces [[Grandgrand Vampirevampire]]s. Townies will spawn as normal, while[[Remington Grand Vampires only appear at nightJitmakusol|Mr. GoingBig]] downtownand is[[Cara freeLivingston|The of charge, as is going from one lot to anotherDiva]].
 
Downtown offers many [[community lot]]s, and these lots are the main attraction of Downtownthe neighborhood and ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife]]'' itself. There are various kinds of lots, including nightclubs, restaurants, karaokes, bars, hangouts, bowling alleys, boutiques, groceries, and so on. These lots contain many elements that reflect nightlife lots. If ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'' is installed, some lots will feature objects from that [[expansion pack]] as well, such as the [[Sellafone Gadget Kiosk]], bubble blower, [[pool table]], and many ''University'' decors. Townies and [[Non-playable character]]s will appear on these lots like on normal community lots. It is also the only place where Grand Vampires can appear wandering, and they will only appear at night.
Sims may dine at [[restaurant]]s. Sims can buy all food that can be prepared by a Sim with maxed [[Cooking]] skill, except for instant meals and snacks. Players who want a Sim to eat for free have two options:

*Skip out on the bill, which involves getting out of the restaurant before being seen by the host/ess.
*A Sim who eats at many restaurants may get coupons for a free meal in the mail.
 
If ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]'' is installed, Sims can start a business in the downtown, if it's on a community lot. Special NPCs such as grand vampires can visit the lot.

==Living in Downtown==
A common misconceptionIt is thatcompletely manypossible thinkto thatlive itin isDowntown, notas possibleit allows to livebuild Downtown.and Howeverplace thisresidential is not the caselots, asand Downtownalso featuresincludes its own selection of [[List of empty Downtown lots|residential lots]]. Some of these houses are starter homes, and all of them contain a driveway, and possiblysome have a garage attached to itthem. Most of these houses are remodeled versionversions of the pre-made houses in the [[Lots and Houses bin/The Sims 2#The Sims 2: Nightlife|Lotslots and Houseshouses bin]] that were shipped with ''Nightlife''.
 
When a group of neighbors appear to welcome a new family, they'll be randomly chosen playable Sims from the main town, unless there is already a family living in Downtown. The call invite for an [[outing]] will be exactly the same, and will also request to visit the community lot in the downtown.

==== Unreleased ====
There are three references to lots in Downtown's files that do not exist in the final game:
 
* Vampiric Eden
* Liliflower - ''Why settle for less when you can come to the Liliflower where elegance can be felt across the dance floors as you enjoy a cold beverage with your date or get down to to the beats as our DJ spins to your likings!''
* N3rD Pad - ''We’ve determined that 77.8% of Sims have 33.3% (repeating of course) more fun at this n3rd Pad! Meet Sims with impressive degrees, no social or dancing skills, cool gadgets and full wallets.''
