The '''Landgraab family''' is a wealthy family dynasty that resides in [[Sunset Valley]] in ''[[The Sims 3]]''; [[Bluewater Village]] in ''[[The Sims 2]]''; and [[Oasis Springs]] in ''[[The Sims 4]]''. The family name is occasionally spelt "'''Landgrabb'''", mostly in ''[[The Sims]]''. Which spelling is used depends on which game or expansion pack introduced the object or place or Sim that used it
[[Landgraab Industries]] is featured prominently in both building names in ''[[w:c:simcity:SimCity 3000|SimCity 3000]]'' and brand names for objects in ''The Sims''. Most of the family's wealth appears to come from property and real estate (In ''SimCity 3000'', they are associated more with residential property building, a role which resurfaced in ''The Sims: Bustin Out'' when most of the town seem to fail to pay their rent.) In other Sims games, they are more associated with commercial property, giving the Landgraab name a literal meaning of "grabbing the land".
==History==
===Origins===
The Landgraab fortune, or at least a sizable part of it, presumably dates back to a historical figure named Gregory Landgraab, who does not appear in any known version of the Landgraab family tree. If ''The Sims 2: Seasons
<blockquote>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?</blockquote>
The mentioned Gregory shares the same name with [[Gregory Landgraab]] of [[Oasis Landing]]. This could be a coincidence, as it's highly unlikely that they're the same person; alternatively, the Gregory from Oasis Landing could be named for the original Gregory.

His exploits are much further elaborated on in ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures]]''. Despite being his descendants, the Landgraab family has no easier time navigating his chateau in [[Champs Les Sims]]. They also get no bonuses for doing so.
===The Sims 3===
In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', the Landgraabs are seen living in one of three mansions (the other two being the Goth mansion and the Alto mansion) and are already very wealthy. [[Nancy Landgraab|Nancy]] is a Landgraab by birth, born to [[Chester Landgraab|Chester]] and [[Queenie Landgraab]], and followed the family legacy by becoming vice president of the business district. At one point before the game, she married a modest, artistic doctor named [[Geoffrey Landgraab|Geoffrey]], who took his wife's name for its privileged status. They had a son named Malcolm, a smart child who Nancy is attempting to make a proper heir, however, it is stated that Nancy is too busy with work and publicity to dote on Malcolm, so although he is friends with his parents, he has a better relationship with his father than his mother and constantly dreams of being a doctor every time his father gets a promotion.
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''.
It is also mentioned several times in ''The Sims 3'' that Nancy's family, helped start the town. It says in the family bio that "Nancy's family more or less founded the town", while the description of Sunset Valley states that "before Pleasantview, the town was founded by the Goths and built up by the Landgraabs". They have a business feud with the [[Alto Family|Altos]], and are enemies with them, though young Malcolm and [[Holly Alto (Sunset Valley)|Holly Alto]] have no quarrel with each other.

In console versions of ''The Sims'', a character named Malcolm Landgraab is the richest man around who gives the main character real estate opportunities (fixing up each house they live in to sell at a higher price), and later marries [[Mom Landgraab|their mom]].
His children are [[Dudley Landgraab]] and [[Mimi Landgraab]], both slackers, party animals and heirs to his vast fortune. In the sequel, ''[[The Sims Bustin' Out (console)|The Sims Bustin' Out]]'', Malcolm and Mom divorce and he

In ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business|Open for Business]]'' expansion pack, [[Malcolm Landgraab IV]] is introduced as a bachelor in a very large mansion in [[Bluewater Village]]. His family tree reveals exactly who his parents and grandparents are, but only dates back to Malcolm II and not Malcolm I. Malcolm Landgraab IV owns Club Dante and the Electronics Supercenter in
===The Sims 3 Store===
In [[Lunar Lakes]], the Landgraab household consists of elder scientist [[Christina Landgraab|Christina]] and her three clone-children, young adult [[Chris Landgraab|Chris]] and teens [[Chrissie Landgraab|Chrissie]] and [[Christa Landgraab|Christa]]. While they live in a large and expensive house, they start out with §10,000 in funds.
In [[Midnight Hollow]], the Landgraab household consists of just [[Todd Landgraab]]. He is a rich gentleman, but it’s unknown whether he really is related to the Landgraab family or only shares their surname.
===The Sims 3: Into the Future===
The Landgraab family reappeared in [[Oasis Landing]]. The household consists of [[Gregory Landgraab|Gregory]], [[Cheryl Landgraab|Cheryl]], [[Timothy Landgraab|Timothy]], [[Lara Landgraab|Lara]] and the family [[Plumbot]], [[Model U]]. Unlike the Landgraab families from other worlds, the family is unplayable at the start of the game.
Gregory shares the same name as Gregory Landgraab who is mentioned in the [[chance card]] of [[
===The Sims 4===
The Landgraab family appear in ''[[The Sims 4]]'', which takes place in an alternate universe from previous games in the series. The family can be found living in a mansion in [[Oasis Springs]], and is made up of the same three family members who appeared in ''The Sims 3'': Geoffrey, Nancy, and Malcolm. Like their former incarnations, Geoffrey and Nancy are adults; Malcolm, however, has been aged up from a child to a teen. One notable difference between the universes is that while Malcolm in ''The Sims 3'' had the [[good]] trait, Malcolm in ''The Sims 4'' is [[evil]]; and Nancy, who was portrayed as a snobbish but
A fourth member of the Landgraab family, [[Johnny Zest]], appears in Oasis Springs in ''The Sims 4'', though he neither lives with the rest of the family nor shares their last name. Johnny's bio explains that the family disowned him when he announced his intention to become a professional [[Entertainment|comedian]], and that subsequently he now uses his stage name all the time. It is not specified whether Johnny is the son of Geoffrey and Nancy, and therefore the brother of Malcolm; a sibling of Nancy's; or a more distant relative. His appearance and the appearance of his home are reminiscent of [[Dudley Landgraab]] and [[Dudley's Trailer]] in the original timeline's console spin-offs; since it's not clear whether "Johnny" is his real first name or part of his stage name, it's possible that he is the alternate universe's version of Dudley.

==Landgraab Chateau==
[[File:Chateau_Landgraab.jpg|thumb|Chateau du Landgraab.]]
In ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures]]'', Sims can travel to [[Champs Les Sims]], home to a giant tomb known as the [[Chateau du Landgraab]]. Unlike most tombs, this tomb is rather unconventional in the sense that, since it is set in a huge mansion rather than an actual underground tomb. Most of the dungeon is actually above ground level. Since players also explore a basement underneath the chateau, it is one of the largest tombs in the game.
Furthermore, it is very hard to get into, due to the fact that its original inhabitant, [[Admiral Landgraab]], was very paranoid and filled his large estate with booby traps. In order to fully explore the house, players will need to fulfill several
Those who hope to complete the tomb should keep in mind it is impossible to complete in one trip, and may take (depending on Visa level) multiple trips to round out exploration of the chateau.

Trivia
The Admiral’s surname, Landgraab, was changed to Landgraaf in the Dutch translations of the game. Landgraaf is also a town in The Netherlands.
