As far as personality, he is very outgoing, quite active, and somewhat neat. But Ron is quite serious and rather grouchy. This may explain why his granddaughter Melody is not very playful. Ron knew his daughter in-law Wanda Tinker's parents, and has memories of them dying. According to his SimDNA in SimPE, his hair was brown before it turned grey. According to Ron's age data in SimPE, he had 15 days left in the elder life stage when he died. His facial structure is almost, if not exactly identical to the 1st Maxis face template in Create a Sim.
