The Second Generation



Malcolm Langraab- The True Landgraab

In my version of the game, Malcolm turned out to be a bit of a jerk, but it happens you know. As i said before, Malcolm married Bella Goth. 


Malcolm proposes to Bella
Malcolm, the "romantic" that he is, proposed to Bella in the kitchen, surrounded by dirty dishes. I still don't understand why she said yes, i mean who would say yes when the dishes are so dirty that there are green fumes coming off them. But she did anyways, and they got married and it was sweet.

If you haven't figured it out yet, a goal of mine with this family was to take a picture of every single wedding. So far i've been successful, except one, which i had to get a picture of when they renewed their vows.

Soon after their wedding they had two boys. Giovani and Maximus. Why those particular names? Well, that's the game's doing. I was away with the main house, aka Jessica, when the both the babies were born, so the game decided to give them those names. I thought to myself, "Eh, why not". And so they were called Giovani and Maximus!





Bella and Malcolm's marriage lasted until their deaths. Though it was not the most stable, they did stay true to their vows. Bella died before Malcolm, of old age as expected, and was buried in the family cemetery. After Bella's death Malcolm went through a late life crisis, and died prematurely of overexertion. Seasoned players might know that in elderly sims, one of the main causes of death by overexertion is too much woohoo, and such was Malcolm's embarrassing fate.

Vivian - The First of Jessica's Legacy

Vivan Landgraab was the first child of Geoffrey and Jessica. I just realized, going through my pictures, that i have none of Vivian. She never got married, so there is no standard wedding picture. Vivian was a free spirit, so she never really settled down. Vivian attended all the raging parties in Windenburgh, and had three children. First was Edward, and then Michale and Gwyneth, who have a different father than Edward. The little family moved around a lot, i'd like to say it was because Vivian was a free spirit, but really it was because i was never quite satisfied with the houses i built for them. 

To make up for the lack of pictures of Vivian, here's a really funny one of Michael at his cousin's wedding. Her name is Harper, and you'll meet her a little later.

Vivian died peacefully of old age, and was buried in the ever growing family cemetery.

Next Comes Laura

Laura Landgraab was the second born child of Jessica and Geoffrey. Unlike sister Vivian, she was much more well behaved, and a bit of a home body. She went on to inherit the Landgraab mansion, which by the way is never the same house because i was always bulldozing and rebuilding, so when i say mansion or main house, i really mean the original Landgraab lot. Any who, Laura got married to Jack Nixon; his twin sister Jill will come up in a bit. Laura kept her last name, as tradition in my Legacy, and Jack took her last name instead and became Jack Landgraab. Jack had big dreams of the business career, and that's what he pursued. Laura and Jack had 3 children as well. First was Julianna, then twins Simon and Wells.

Laura renews her vows with Jack, because i forgot to capture their wedding . . . oops

Laura was good friends with Jessica, despite her grilled cheese eating when her mother died -_- . 

Laura and Jessica share a similar taste in clothes...like mother like daughter

Once her mother died, Laura decided it was time she try and be as successful as her, and got herself a job as a secret agent. She excelled at her work, and put out a great example for her children. She did' let them hang around with their aunt Vivian, in fear of her wild side rubbing off on them. Poor Vivian.
I had to put it in again, for kicks and giggles

Julianna found later on in life that she didn't agree with her mother's decision to distance Vivian from the family. She used her good spirit to convince her mother to let Vivian move in with them when she became very old, and by very old i mean literally a single sim day from death. 

Julianna hugs Aunt Vivian, hours before her passing. 



Laura passed away only recently, of old age. She was buried in the new cemetery, which is a public lot. I got tired of moving all the graves to the house. Jack died long before Laura, but is buried along side his beloved wife. 







And Finally Eddie

Eddie Landgraab was the youngest of Jessica and Geoffrey's 3 children. Eddie was very smart from childhood, and became a very successful scientist. He dedicated his life to knew knowledge and discoveries. He eventually found the time to settle down with his high school sweet heart, Jill Nixon (Told you you'd meet her soon).

The two lived very happily together, and Jill shared Eddie's passion for knowledge. She became a very famous Doctor. The couple had one child. Can you guess? Yup! It's Harper! Harper Landgraab grew up a little alone because her parents were always very busy, and as such she turned out a bit like Vivian, but was still pretty well behaved.                                                                                                 

Jill died eventually of old age, and Eddie outlived her (talk about good genes). In his old age, something bizarre happened. He got updated by aliens, and i thought nothing of it, because i knew males could conceive an alien child if abducted, but i didn't know that elders could too, i thought they were exempt. So i was all, geese, why aren't you dead yet? Turns out he was carrying a little alien baby. Talk about crazy, right. So then along came little Miles, who you'll see going through life in his human disguise. Right after, no joke, immediately after giving birth to Miles, Eddie died of old age, and joined his wife in the family cemetery. Miles turned out to look a lot like his father. :'(

And that, my dear friends, concludes our second generation. Now, if you thought this generation was long, just wait till we get to the third! See you soon!

Beginnings - First Generation

Jessica Landgraab - The Accidental Founder
Hi There! I'm going to introduce you to my wonderful, not very new, Sims 4 Legacy.

It all started out with Jessica, an aspiring musician. I didn't plan for her to be the founder of a legacy, but that's what she became. Geoffrey Landgraab, a sim who's made an appearance in the game since the beginning, fell madly in love with Jessica, in a sort of midlife crisis kind of way, left his wife Nancy and son Malcolm, and married her. 

Jessica Landgraab and Geoffrey Landgraab (Elder).


The couple lived happily ever after, and had 3 beautiful children: Vivian, Laura, and Eddie. 
This is where it gets a bit strange. As seasoned players of The Sims 4 would know, Bella Goth was a young adult and married to Mortimer Goth, and they had 2 kids. Being the evil ruler of my sims that i am, i broke up that marriage too, and Malcolm ended up marrying Bella, but we'll get to that in the 2nd generation chapter.

Jessica and Geoffrey get married!

Jessica excelled in her music career, even after her husband's death. She raised her three beautiful children proudly, and died with her beloved red piano. (There's a picture somewhere of Laura eating a grilled cheese when Jessica died, but i have to find it...please hold)
Found It!!!

Jessica and The Red Piano




Jessica lived a very long and fulfilling sim life, and was buried next to Geoffrey, in their in home cemetery.

Oh! And in case you were wondering, Nancy never got remarried, she died sad and alone, always holding a grudge against Jessica. Since she kept the Landgraab last name, however, she was buried in the family cemetery as well.
