Why Malcolm Landgraab makes no sense in the franchise. We map out his history across the games to explain the confusion.
Malcolm Landgraab first appeared in the Blue Water Village expansion for The Sims 2, but his background is far more complicated than that. We look at his origins as Malcolm IV, the son of Malcolm III and Margaret, and trace his upbringing by Malcolm II and Marion. By examining the established Landgraab family tree, we can see where the timeline starts to fracture.
He was also the main antagonist of the Sims console series, which creates massive contradictions when placed alongside his modern iterations. We discuss these inconsistencies and the alternate universe theories that attempt to explain why he feels like a completely different character in The Sims 4.
