The Sims 2: Open for Business

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

Member(s)  : Malcolm Landgraab IV[TS2:OfB]

Neighborhood : Bluewater Village


The Sims 3

The Landgraabs are old money. Nancy's family more or less founded the town, so it was no surprise that when she married Geoffrey, it was Geoffrey who changed his last name, not Nancy. Will young Malcolm be a mild-mannered doctor like his father or a voracious business tycoon like his mother?

The Landgraab Home

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. The house also features a strange, empty shed to the left of the house, but if The Sims 2: Nightlife is installed, it is the perfect fit to add a driveway in front, a garage door on the front, and a car inside.

The Sims 3

Landgraab home

In The Sims 3, the Landgraab family lives in a luxurious mansion on Summer Hill.[TS3] 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.
