Landgraab family: Difference between revisions

|caption = Ruthless. Cunning. Brilliant. Ridiculously wealthy. These are just a few words the locals use to describe the Landgraab family, whose entrepreneurial ambitions can’tcan't be stopped by anything but their own mistakes. When you have this much money, you're your own worst enemy.

In ''The Sims'', ''[[The Sims: Hot Date]]'' and ''[[The Sims: Vacation]]'', [[Admiral Landgraab]] is mentioned as another historical figure with an extensive background. Wren's Fens National Park on [[Vacation Island]] is described as one of his first colonial acquisitions, an Admiral Landgraab nutcracker can be bought on Vacation Island, and some items refer to him. His portrait, which is available in [[buy mode]], includes a short bio. Admiral Landgraab's first name is not given, and his relationship to the [[Malcolm Landgraab IV]] of Bluewater Village and the Landgraabs of Sunset Valley is unknown. It is likely that he lived after Gregory, as that would give the family time to gain prestige, but this is not confirmed. However, Admiral Landgraab might also be Gregory himself instead.

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 flies into a rage of repossessing everyone's money and goods before the player stops him. Depending on the player's choices, a senator named Malcolm Landgraab can be killed as part of a government conspiracy. In the final stage, Mom chases Malcolm Landgraab out of his own mansion. It is unknown how this Malcolm is related to the Malcolm in ''[[The Sims 3]]''. It is theorized that they are the same person, but ''Bustin' Out''<nowiki/>'s Malcolm's malevolent behavior contradicts ''The Sims 3''<nowiki/>'s Malcolm's [[Good (The Sims 3)|Good]] trait, making this unlikely.

In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', the Landgraabs are mentioned in the first expansion pack, ''[[The Sims 2: University|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 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 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.
