Biography | |
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. | |

Malcolm Landgraab[BO] (or Malcolm Landgrabb[TSC]) is a business tycoon and antagonist in The Sims (console) and The Sims Bustin' Out. He is the father of Mimi Landgraab and Dudley Landgraab.
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 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 children and a spouse). His interests are Politics, Money, and Outdoors, according to the Prima Strategy guide.
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 (his ex-wife). Malcolm is last seen in a cutscene on a cruise ship, where he is repeatedly thrown out in humorous ways, like being repeatedly slapped in the face, being farted and burped on, and being attacked by a plant. Malcolm then attempts to steal an idol, but the remote control shoots him up in the sky before it explodes, sending Malcolm plummeting into the ocean.
Malcolm Landgraab was likely first mentioned in SimCity 3000, where he is the CEO of Landgraab Industries, an investment firm in real estate and buildings of all kinds. 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 in SimCity 3000 mentions a hacienda on an island, an idea that might have inspired the design of Malcolm's Mansion.
Malcolm is also mentioned in some chance cards in The Sims 2.
The way the player can achieve this is by working their way up on the career path, moving into different houses, and achieving pre-decided goals in each different home. When the player has almost reached the top of the career path, they will unlock a location called "Malcolm's Mansion." When the player goes to that location, Malcolm will be standing on the path to the front door, and out of the blue, good ol' Mom comes running in and she "chases after Malcolm". After this, Malcolm runs off his property, leaving the player to bask in the glory of their new mansion.
Malcolm, like most story characters 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 however as any goals relating to him will become impossible to complete.
