Line 103:
<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.

===Admiral Landgraab===
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 thatthis is not definitely knownconfirmed.
 
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 (console) and The Sims: Bustin' Out===
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 goesflies 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]]'',. thoughIt it'sis possibletheorized that they could beare the same person, but ''Bustin' Out'''s Malcolm's malevolent behavior contradicts ''The Sims 3'''s Malcolm's [[Good (The Sims 3)|Good]] trait, making this unlikely.

Line 157:
 
===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 basicallyoverall kind businesswoman in the former, is a career [[criminal]] in the latter. Meanwhile, though Geoffrey's personality remains basicallyalmost unchanged, his career is changed from medicine to [[secret agent]], something which the family bio implies will create tension in his marriage to Nancy, once it emerges that they operate on opposite sides of the law.
 
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.
