Malcolm Landgraab

Malcolm Landgraab is a child featured in The Sims 3. He resides in Sunset Valley along with his family, and is the son and heir of Geoffrey and Nancy Landgraab, who belong to the powerful Landgraab family.

Life leading up to The Sims 3
Malcolm appears in The Sims 3 as the only child of Geoffrey and Nancy Landgraab. He would presumably be an elder, or close to becoming one, by the time of The Sims 2, but he does not appear in The Sims or The Sims 2.

He lives with his parents in a large house in Sunset Valley. He is different from his parents, as he is a good, ambitious bookworm. However, he is more like his father, a family oriented doctor, than his mother, who is a snobby businesswoman. According to his mother's bio, she often neglects Malcolm because she is overly concerned with her looks, job, and social life.

In his relationship panel, Malcolm starts off with a higher relationship with his father than with his mother. Also, if his father gets promoted, he will likely get a lifetime wish to become a surgeon, but he doesn't get any related wishes if his mother gets promoted. This suggests that he aspires to be more like his father than his mother.

Although his parents are rivals with the Altos, he seems to have no current conflict with their daughter, Holly Alto.

It has been reported that, when he grows to adulthood, he does not resemble the Malcolm Landgraabs in the console versions of The Sims 3. He will have long hair, like Gunter Goths without the hat. He will often become the romantic interest of Holly Alto, and she will move in, but their relationship never goes farther without the player controlling them.

Life leading up to The Sims 3 (console)
Malcolm lives on the cliff-side of Moonlight Bay on a large lot with his wife Hannelore, and teenaged son Adrien. The house includes a pool and many palm trees, with a description describing the home as an 'exotic getaway'.

Malcolm and his family are rich and are presumed to own many of the businesses in and around Moonlight Bay. It is assumed the Langraab family owns the town's library, due to the fact it is named after them. This is unsurprising as Malcolm possesses the Bookworm trait.

Malcolm is also a Snob, but is Good. He is known to have moved from Sunset Valley for a better life, and wills Adrien to be as successful as himself, presumably following his mother, employing in Business, or following his father's own footsteps, high in the Politics track. When the game is started, Malcolm is a Local Representative, and he often is the boss when your Sim joins the career track. He and Tyler Vasquez are coworkers.

Landgraab theory
Some players believe this Malcolm Landgraab is the Malcolm Landgraab from The Sims consoles. This Malcolm Landgraab is a greedy landlord from The Sims Bustin' Out. He takes everyone's stuff in The Sims Bustin' Out and the goal is to get Malcolm to move out and make the player's Sim buy his house.

Family
Malcolm is the son of Nancy Landgraab who, like most other Landgraabs, expects her son to inherit her family's dynasty. (His father, Geoffrey took the Landgraab name when he married Nancy.) However, he looks unhappy about the thought and obviously isn't happy about the family rivalry. The connection between this branch of the family and the one in The Sims 2: Open for Business is unspecified, but it is likely that he and Malcolm Landgraab III are contemporaries. He may be the great-nephew of Malcolm Landgraab I, the second cousin of Malcolm Landgraab II, the cousin of Malcolm Landgraab III and the second cousin of Malcolm Landgraab IV, but that is not certain. It is also possible that he is a younger version of the Malcolm Landgraab in The Sims: Bustin' Out and/or The Sims (console), and therefore the father of Mimi and Dudley Landgraab, but that is speculative.
