Installing one downtown to a base neighbourhood does not install it for each neighbourhood and if you install the same downtown, they will not be the same. That is, they will have a different population.

[[File:TS2N Mrs Crumplebottom.jpg|thumb|left|Mrs Crumplebottom]]
*Mrs Crumplebottom- Mrs Crumplebottom is an old lady that hates seeing any romantic interactions on the street. If she sees two sims snogging or hugging or whatever, she'll lecture them then wallop her handbag over them. If you see her on the lot, make sure you’re in a private room or at least a room without her in it if you're on a date. She also hates sims that are inappropriately dressed. It is impossible to have a relationship with her because if you try to talk to her, she'll start attacking you with that purse of hers.

*Vampires- The vampires are recognizable by the pale skin, the vampire costumes, the red eyes, the fangs and the fact that they only come out at night. They behave like any normal NPC except that they run off at sunrise and can turn into a bat. At first there are only two vampires and they only turn up downtown. Their names start with 'Count' or 'Contessa' and they can bite your sims, turning them into vampires. For information on being a vampire see [[The Sims 2: Nightlife/Vampirism|Vampires]]

*Diva/Mr Big- They are the top of the social ladder. Get them into your house and you'll receive a heap of money. They also have fixed characteristics. They have fortune aspiration, their job is as a Professional Party guest and they're dressed well. Note that their names are not really Diva or Mr Big but are instead randomly chosen. Diva and Mr Big just refers to them as characters.

*Other- Apart from the above, other Downtownies are created upon the creation of a downtown. Their jobs are always level six or higher, they have high skills and they have more money than base neighbourhood townies. They make really good catches but the only way to know who's a Downtownie and who's a regular townie is to wither keep a record of each townie or to ask them personally about their skills or job.
