Very nice Kingdom (I know, I know, I just can't bring myself to purposely type something that my fingers insist on being spelled wrong ;D). I haven't been playing NL for very long, I didn't even know that you could incorporate Downtown into one neighborhood.
See what you've done? Now I have to go and see how that is accomplished *sigh*.
All you have to do is build the lots in your base neighborhood. If you like the Maxis ones, just move them to the lot bin and then place them in the base neighborhood.
I believe - and someone maybe can answer this for sure - that the "downtownies" won't show up on the lots in the base neighborhood, even if it is a "Maxis" downtown lot that you moved. That doesn't bother me because I delete all the Maxis townies anyway and create my own.
Baa:
VeilChen, to bring "incorporate" a downtown into your neighborhood, you need two things.
1) Lots. You'll need lots to place in your neighborhood, mainly community zoned lots as that's what downtown is mainly for. I simply went downtown and placed all the Maxis lots in my lot bin. Then, I placed them in the neighborhood.
2) Imagination. I say this because you have to imagine it as a downtown, and not just a sector of your neighborhood with a lot of community lots jacked together. Although, this is easy to imagine if you place downtown-ish themed lots.
And that's about it. And as a few others have said, Downtownies won't visit the lots. I'm hoping someone could change this or something because that's a real drag.

Thanks for the tip Simmiecal, I'll give it a try.
By the way, I do the same thing with the regular townies. I like my own sims much better than the maxis sims, even though the downtownies are not quite as bad (as a whole) as the townies. I have absolutely no idea how I got along without Inge's teleporter shrub, I use it to make the townies. How do you make downtownies? Does the teleporter shrub work for them too?
Edit: Oops, while I typed this you posted yours, Kngidom (hah, I got it right). Too true, imagination is very important. I just thought it was downtown that you turned into a neighborhood and downtown. If I remember right, you can build living quarters in the downtown area. Thanks, both of you :D

Bah, humbug. The real name is Kingdom, the one I have now is just how some retardos like to spell it. (On occasion I've gotten "Kingdom Palace" and even a good ol' "Knignom Paloce") But that's beside the point. Yes, as someone also stated above, you can create living space downtown. Perfectly playable in every way. I just don't like the separate "downtown" area because it separates everything and creates havoc.
So now, I think I'll just settle with this neighborhood having no downtownies. I kinda like it. It's almost like playing without any EPs. But of course, it is required that I make a separate Uni location if I wish to send Sims to college. Ah well, that's fine with me, because going off to college kinda is going away and separating from your n'hood.

Very nice looking downtown you got there.
