According to Alastair's SimDNA in SimPE, his hair was black before it turned grey. According to his age data, he had 19 days left in the elder life stage when he died. Alastair's facial structure is identical to the 3rd Maxis face template in Create a Sim, except for the ever so slightly customized upper lip. Unlike several other married ancestors from Apartment Life who have memories of their spouses, he only has Mystery Sim memories. However Alastair still has memories of Sylvester's birth, as well as his grandson Benjamin getting engaged and married.
