Landgraab family
|
The Landgraabs are really grabby...
The Landgraabs are a brilliant and wealthy dynasty that currently resides in Bluewater Village. The family name is sometimes spelled "Landgrabb". Landgraab Industries is featured prominently in both building names in SimCity 3000 and brand names for objects in The Sims.
One of the default Downtown lots in Hot Date is Landgraab Mall, Lanhdgrabb Dorms in Sim State University. Some items and places in Hot Date and Vacation refer to an Admiral Landgraab.
Admiral Landgraab's first name is not given, and his relationship to the Malcolm Landgraab IV of Bluewater Village is unknown. On the PlayStation 2, Xbox and Gamecube games of The Sims Bustin' Out a Malcolm Langraab is the richest man around. As he takes items of importance and interest, his surname could be indicative of his grabby nature.
In The Sims 2: University, in the university called Sim State University there is a lot called 'Landgrabb Dorms'. Perhaps this was made so that if the sims 2:University and the sims 2:Open for Buisiness were both loaded then the Landgrabbs could use the Dorms.
