[[File:Downtown icon.png|left|link=]]'''Downtown''' is 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.

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.

There are various kinds of lots, including nightclubs, restaurants, karaokes, bars, hangouts, bowling alleys, boutiques, groceries, and so on.

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.
