If he were meant to be a good guy, he'll probably be called "Benedict". This malevolent landlord grabs all the land he can get, and punishes his delinquent tenants by repossessing their stuff. A sad turn for the man who was once your benefactor and your mom's ex-husband.

Biography

Origins

Malcolm is the son and heir of Geoffrey and Nancy Landgraab who belong to the rich and powerful Landgraab family. The connection between this branch of the family and the one in The Sims 2: Open for Business is unspecified, but it is possible that he and Malcolm Landgraab III are contemporaries.

Malcolm first appeared in SimCity 3000, where he is the CEO of Landgraab Industries. He seems to be a cynical business mogul with shady practices, and a sharp sense of humor (For example, after the player agrees to let him build an amusement park, he will say: "Sensational decision... I can see those sims with their wide smiles, and wide wallets, streaming into the park now..."). His bio mentions that he divides his time between his condo in the city and his hacienda on the resort island of San Cordelia.

in SimCity 3000, Malcolm is a property developer who will lobby for more residential zones and construction projects like the building of a defense contractor, a country club golf course, and the aforementioned theme park. One of his subsidiaries, Safety Flush Solutions, is a well-known provider of toxic waste disposal services that converts napalm, anthrax bacilli, and nerve gas into deodorant and other harmless substances.

Life leading up to The Sims 3

Malcolm appears in The Sims 3 as the only child of Geoffrey and Nancy Landgraab. He is 4 days away from becoming a teenager at the start of the game. Malcolm would presumably be an elder, or close to becoming one, by the time of The Sims 2, but he does not appear in The Sims or The Sims 2.

Malcolm lives with his parents in a large house in Sunset Valley. He is different from his parents, as he is a good, ambitious bookworm. However, Malcolm has more in common with his father, a family oriented doctor, than his mother, who is a snobby businesswoman.

Malcolms biography indicates that he's unhappy with the thought of being groomed to be the heir of the immense family fortune. According to his mother's bio, Nancy often neglects Malcolm because she is overly concerned with her looks, job, and social life. In his relationship panel, Malcolm starts off with a higher relationship with his father than with his mother.

Although his parents are rivals with the Alto Family, Malcolm seems to have no current conflict with their daughter, Holly Alto.

Life leading up to The Sims 4

In The Sims 4, Malcolm is teenager who resides in Oasis Springs with his parents. He is 7 days away from becoming a young adult and has three skill points in both mischief and charisma. Malcolm is a high school student with a C grade, and carries a homework book in his inventory.

Unlike in The Sims 3, Malcolm takes after his mother more than his father in terms of personality. Aas a part of the alternate universe, he has the snob and evil traits, and by having the Public Enemy aspiration.

Life leading up to The Sims 3 (console)

Malcolm lives on the cliff-side of Moonlight Bay on a large lot with his wife, Hannelore, and his teenage son Adrien. The house includes a pool and many palm trees. The description of the home describes it as an 'exotic getaway'.

"Landgraab Industries Science Facility" and the "Landgraab Library of Learning" are named after his family, indicating that the Landgraab family is well regarded in Moonlight Bay.

Malcolm possesses both the snob and good traits. According to his biography, Malcolm moved away from Sunset Valley for a better life. Consequently, Malcolm pursued employment in the Political career track. When the game is started, Malcolm is a Local Representative, and often is the boss of the player's Sim when they join this career. Malcolm and Tyler Vasquez are co-workers.

Life leading up to The Sims (Console)

In The Sims (console), Malcolm wears a black smoking vest with a red tissue on his chest pocket, a white shirt, black bow tie, white suit pant, black loafers with stockings, black rectangular glasses, and black top hat. The first male default face was used to create him. Malcolm's interests are Politics, Money, and Outdoors, according to the Prima Strategy guide.

During the game, Malcolm asks the player to fix-up various lots while they are in residence. The player's Sim will move in with one of Malcolm's children, either Dudley or Mimi, depending on gender. At the end of the fifth level, Malcolm will get married to Mom and will leave his mansion to the player's Sim.

Life leading up to The Sims 4 (Gallery)

An older Malcolm was uploaded to the Gallery by Maxis on May 23, 2019. This version of Malcolm is an elder who works in the Business career as an Angel Investor. He has maxed out his charisma and mischief skills.

Malcolm has a son named Dudley and a daughter named Mimi. They appear alongside Malcolm's wife Mom, the stepmother of his children, who he marries at the end of The Sims for console but divorces before the start of The Sims Bustin' Out. This indicates that the Gallery version of the family is set in between the two games.

Life leading up to The Sims Bustin' Out

In The Sims Bustin' Out, Malcolm wears a bicolor pelt stole with a white suit, a white chest open shirt, brown loafers, and a white top hat. When the player first visits Shiny Things Labs, they will learn that Malcolm is the CEO of Shiny Things Inc.. At The Octagon and at the Tinsel Bluffs, the player finds out that he is also a politician and a producer respectively.

Malcolm will go around SimValley and "repossess" things from Sims for not being able to pay rent or return his investments until he is defeated by the player's Sim and their Mom, who has divorced Malcolm and holds a grudge against him. The way the player can achieve this is by working their Sims' way up on the career path, moving into different houses, and achieving pre-decided goals in each different home.

When the player's Sim has almost reached the top of a career path, they will unlock a location called Malcolm's Mansion. When the player reaches the location, Malcolm will be standing on the path to the front door, and Mom then proceeds to "chase after Malcolm". After this, Malcolm runs off his property, leaving the player to bask in the glory of their new mansion. Malcolm is last seen in a cutscene on a cruise ship, where he is humiliated in various comical ways based on the player's career.

Trivia

• In The Sims (console), Malcolm hints at his love for Mom as during Reality Bites. If the player doesn't complete certain objectives after a few days, Malcolm will call the house and ask why they haven't completed the tasks and he will mention that he learned this from their Mom who he calls lovely.
• Also in The Sims (console), if the "fish eye" cheat code is used to view the game in first-person, Malcolm can be seen sporting light red hair and a goatee at the end of the game when he comes to congratulate the player for his successful retirement party. This contrasts with promotional pictures of him or at the ending cutscene, where he has white hair and no goatee.
• In The Sims, a high-tech refrigerator from Shiny Things Inc. is described as being the original idea of Malcolm Landgraab himself. "The brainchild of reclusive Shiny Things Inc. founder Malcolm Landgraab, the Freeze Secret exploits experimental cryogenic technology. Utilizing a combination of liquid sulfur dioxide and argon in a low gravity vacuum, perishables are kept fresh for generations. High impact stainless steel and modern design make this the veritable ice queen of refrigeration."
• Malcolm is also mentioned in some chance cards in The Sims 2.
  • A chance card from the slacker career mentiones that the purchase of Wrightway Toys by Landgraab Industries made Malcolm Landgraab the richest Sim in SimCity. The player learns this information when working as a Golf Caddy for Malcolm.
  • Another chance card in the culinary career reveals he is a very powerful Sim, able to get the player's Sim fired from their job as a Drive Trough Clerk thanks to his strong network.
• The Prima Strategy Guide for The Sims Bustin' Out claims that he has 0 nice points and 10 outgoing points. However, he appears to have at least 5 nice points, as he is not entertained by horror TV shows and often spontaneously compliments other Sims; and he has at least less than 5 outgoing points as he uses the microphone shyly and isn't entertained by romantic TV shows. The other personality points reported by the Prima Guide (7 clean points, 0 active points, and 0 playful points) appears to be accurate.
• Also in The Sims Bustin' Out, Malcolm cannot be killed off by most means as he will be resurrected by the Grim Reaper. However, if eaten by a Mutant plant he will die as the Grim Reaper will not show up. This is ill-advised though as any goals relating to him will become impossible to complete.
