Forum:How the differents Malcolm Landgraabs are related ?
I think Malcolm Landgraab from The Sims 3 is the father of Mimi and Dudley too (the developpers have surely forgotten about them since The Sims 2/Bustin'Out era, as the game designs teams evolve through the years, and they just gave him another son, Adrian). Why should it be the same Malcolm ? Because as described in The Sims 2 in the first chance card of the slacker career, he is mentioned as the CEO of Landgraab Industries, just like the Malcolm Landgraab from Moonlight Bay, Simcity 3000, and The Sims Bustin' Out. If you think his personality and appearence in The Sims 3 pc and console is too kind and different, I think it's just another details that the developpers have forgotten (like Dudley and Mimi) or a scenaristic idea in order to reflect how his mother Nancy change him from a good young boy to a shady business tycoon as he is in Simcity 3000. The developpers from the console version of The Sims 3 might just have forgotten to change his "Good" personnality trait to something more cynical (not evil, because until Bustin' Out, Malcolm isn't a evil sims... Just a business tycoon maybe too overcentred about business just like his mother Nancy). And the fact that the Malcolm Landgraab from The Sims 3 console doesn't look like at all the one from the pc version beside traits and haircut, is another proof that developpers skip details, probably because the change of programmer teams composition etc. It's surely speculative, but I think my theory just match the whole thing if we keep in mind the key fact that game developping teams change through the years and games, even more in such big companies like Maxis and EA Games. What do you think about it ? 77.136.86.4 (talk) 20:07, March 1, 2018 (UTC)
- Hi, I agree with you that Malcolm Landgraab is always the same Sim and I've suggested merging the articles. Please join the discussion on the talk page, so a consensus can be reached. Towards the end of the page, User:k6ka proposes this solution which I find very good:
Since this Malcolm Landgraab appears in more games and appears to be more prominent, perhaps we could do the following:
- Move Malcolm Landgraab (The Sims 3) to Malcolm Landgraab (currently a DAB page, which we can move to Malcolm Landgraab (disambiguation)
- Merge Malcolm Landgraab (console) to Malcolm Landgraab
Hi ! Yep I'm agree with the idea of merging the pages, according to me it seems logic. M.Plènozas (talk) 02:28, March 2, 2018 (UTC)
