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. |

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. |

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. |

== Living in a Downtown == |

| ⚫ | It is completely possible to live in a downtown, as it allows to build and place residential lots and even include 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''. |

When a group of neighbors appear to welcome a new familly, they'll be randomly chosen playable sims from the main town, unless there is already a familly living in the downtown. |
