Landgraab family

The Landgraab Family is a brilliant and wealthy dynasty that, in The Sims 3, resides in Sunset Valley; and lives in Bluewater Village in The Sims 2. The family name is occasionally spelled "Landgrabb". Which spelling is used depends on which game or expansion pack introduced the object or place or Sim that uses it. Landgraab Industries is featured prominently in both building names in SimCity 3000 and brand names for objects in The Sims.

The Sims
In The Sims, one of the default Downtown lots in Hot Date is Landgraab Mall and there is a default Vacation Island lot named Wren's Fens National Park, which was originally one of Admiral Landgraab's colonial acquisitions. Also, there is a painting of Admiral Landgraab in the Buy mode catalog, and some items refer to him. Admiral Landgraab's first name is not given, and his relationship to the Malcolm Landgraab IV of Bluewater Village is unknown.

Console
On the PlayStation 2, Xbox and Gamecube games of The Sims: Bustin' Out a Malcolm Landgraab is the richest man around. As he takes items of importance and interest, his surname could be indicative of his grabby nature. Dudley Landgraab and his sister Mimi Landgraab are introduced along with their mother who is simply named Mom Landgraab. Mom and Malcolm were recently divorced, sending Malcolm into a rage of stealing from other Sims. It is unknown how this Malcolm is related to the Malcolm in The Sims 3.

The Sims 2
In The Sims 2, the Landgraabs are mentioned in the first expansion pack, University. One of the dorms at Sim State University is named "Landgraab House", and the Secret Society there is known as the Landgraab Society. The connections, whether past or present, between the family and Sim State are not mentioned.

In the Open for Business expansion pack, a family named the "Landgraab IV family", is introduced with one surviving member, Malcolm Landgraab IV. The family tree shows two other Malcolms, Malcolm IV's father and grandfather, but doesn't mention the original Malcolm or his children Dudley and Mimi. Malcolm Landgraab IV owns Club Dante and the Electronics Supercenter in Bluewater Village. While he is rich, most of his money is tied up in the house and its furnishings. The neighborhood view shows that his initial net worth is around §197,000, but he starts out with around §28,000 in funds.

If Seasons is installed, a chance card for the Adventurer career mentions a "Gregory Landgraab", who does not appear in any known version of the Landgraab family tree.

Here is what the chance card says: Around the turn of the century, Gregory Landgraab, a humble school teacher, suddenly came into a great deal of money and became one of the wealthiest landowners around. This was never explained, though many theories suggest foul play and the Ministry of Adventure has tasked (name) with solving the case, once and for all. After a great deal of research, (name) believes one of two people will have the answers he/she needs: Spencer Oswald, the Landgraab's accountant or the local fortune teller, the gypsy. Who should (name) bring in for questioning?

The Sims 3
In The Sims 3, the Landgraab household contains Geoffrey, a modest doctor who took his wife's surname, Nancy, a snobbish businesswoman with a long family history of evil Sims, and Malcolm, a smart yet confused kid who just wants his family to be normal. It is unknown how he is related to the other Malcolms in The Sims: Bustin' Out and The Sims 2, but his parents do not fit into the family tree given in The Sims 2. So, while Malcolm III might have been a child during The Sims 3 time frame, he would not be this Malcolm. Regardless of their relationship to the rest of the family, they are very well off. They live in a large home and have §75,000 in household funds.

maybe Malcolm Landgrabb is elder at the sims bustin out and had Dudley before bustin out,Later dudley be Malcolm Landgrabb II and had Malcolm Landgrabb III at the sims 1 Malcolm Landgrabb IV is born before TS2 OFB and grow up before game start.

The Sims 2
In The Sims 2, Malcolm Landgraab IV lives alone in a huge mansion overlooking the town. The house is large by Sims-standards, and features a hot tub and indoor swimming pool. Oddly, the house has no television, despite the fact that Malcolm owns an electronics store. There is also a strange, empty shed to the left of the house. Its size and placement are just right for it to be a garage, with the addition of a driveway, a garage door, and, of course, a car. The house has very expensive furniture. It also has hedges and a few rosebushes to the left and right of the entrance, and some trees and bushes in the back. Malcolm would do well to hire a gardener, especially if Seasons is installed.

The Sims 3
In The Sims 3, the Landgraab family lives in a luxurious mansion on Summer Hill, in the town of Sunset Valley. Judging by the house and where they live, it is quite obvious that they are wealthy.

"An elegant home on the most exclusive circle in town, this stately manor resounds with grandeur. Four fireplaces, a massive kitchen, formal and informal living areas, a large custom pool, two car garage, and elegant neoclassical landscaping round out its elegant features."
