⚫
In ''The Sims'' for 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. 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.

The first male default face was used to create him.

⚫
During the game, he asks the player to fix-up various lots while they are in residence. The player will move in with either [[Dudley Landgraab|Dudley]] or [[Mimi Landgraab]], depending on the player's sex at the third level. At the end of the fifth level he will get married to [[Mom Landgraab]] and will leave the mansion to the player since the player will have the biggest family (two [[child]]ren and a spouse). His [[interest]]s are Politics, Money, and Outdoors, according to the Prima Strategy guide.


==SimCity 3000==
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. His role is to go around [[SimValley]] stealing things from Sims he made business investments with(even his own spoiled kids) for not being able to pay rent/return his investments until he is defeated by the player's Sim of ''The Sims Bustin' Out'' and their [[Mom Landgraab|Mom]] (his ex-wife).

Malcolm first appears in ''[[w:c:simcity:SimCity 3000|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.


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.
