S,HWC Character Heights and Body Types

I was recently asked on Tumblr to give details on how I see the heights and body types of characters in Strangetown, Here We Come, and I thought I'd share them here too. Some of these details have been given in the story itself, but some haven't (like Buck's height, I think).

This is how I see them right now, though some of this could possibly change. I didn't give actual numbers for heights, just how they are relative to what’s average for North America (roughly 5’4.5” for women and 5’9.5” for men). I stuck with the main six and their peers. If anyone is curious about some of the older generation characters or any other specific character that I didn’t include, feel free to ask.

Simlish Colours - Help Wanted

I'm trying to come up with a list of colours that are iconic to The Sims 2. I'd like to try to get at least one for every colour of the rainbow and build from there. Here's what I have so far:

Red: Bella's dress
Pink: freezer bunny
Purple: woohoo hearts (though looking for something more child-friendly, if you have any ideas. It's the sort of euphemism you'd use around a baby/toddler/child, but I dunno...)
Blue: aspiration icons
Green: plumbbobs (bright) and alien skintone (mint)
Yellow: chemistry bolts
Orange: ???
White: ???
Black: Grimmie's robe
Brown: ???
Gray: Gray Woman of Sim City

White, Green, Gold, and Red can also relate to the aspiration levels for the plumbbob, so that's another option.

If you have any ideas for the ones I'm missing or any additional ideas for any of the colours, I'd love to hear them.
