Waring is playable at the end of Riley's story. According to his SimDNA in SimPE, his hair was brown before it turned grey. When the family is first played, Waring is on his 1st day as an elder with 23 days left before he dies of old age. He will die 3 days before his wife becomes an elder. Strangely, Waring's lifetime want at the start of the game is to reach the top of the Business career, even though he has already achieved it. He shares this oddity with Grayson Bui, a townie from Bluewater Village.
