==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.
 
A common misconception is that many think that it is not possible to live Downtown. However this is not the case, as Downtown features 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 possibly a garage attached to it. Most of these houses are remodeled version of the pre-made houses in the [[Lots and Houses bin/The Sims 2#The Sims 2: Nightlife|Lots and Houses bin]] that were shipped with ''Nightlife''.
 
Downtown has a wide variety of [[Townie#Downtownies|townies]] and also introduces [[Grand Vampire]]s. Townies will spawn as normal, while Grand Vampires only appear at night. Going downtown is free of charge, as is going from one lot to another.
 
Downtown offers many [[community lot]]s, and these lots are the main attraction of Downtown 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.
 
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.
