As far as personality, Manuel is quite playful and somewhat nice. But he is somewhat sloppy, shy, and lazy. According to Manuel's SimDNA in SimPE, his hair was black before it turned grey. According to his age data, he had 19 days left in the elderlife stage when he died. Manuel's facial structure is almost if not identical to the 16th Maxis face template in Create a Sim. Despite his aspiration, he isn't interested in Money. Oddly, he has a memory of his granddaughter-in-law's death, which is seemingly a mistake, as he appears to have died before Luis was even born.
