I gave Malcolm Landgraab a makeover for storytelling purposes. He made the community pretty excited (4.2k likes in less than a day lol! i thought my phone will combust) and i'm proud of my problematic boy.
The vibe i was aiming for was the golden boy in his early twenties that casually plays golf with senators and looks like he owns the world, and is always praised and admired for what he has but never for who he is. Always for the wealth and influence that his family has. For others, he always looks like he won a life lottery, even when he doesn't really feel like the winner. Must keep up appearances at all times!
I think Nancy is very demanding and puts a lot of pressure on Malcolm to mold him into what she wants, and he never really had an example of someone who can stand up to her standards and demands (his father is way too soft for it, brother was disowned for pursuing his dreams), so Malcolm is conditioned to strive for perfection but is never perfect enough for Nancy. Under the surface, he's got quite a fragile self-esteem that is easily threatened so he can be really reactive. Not to his parents though, especially not to his mother, he suppresses that anger and it comes out elsewhere.
Here i'm gonna collect the most hilarious and accurate comments on his vibe, for my own re-reading pleasure:
- He looks like he’s about to ask me if I know who his father is, so I definitely think you nailed it.
- If the words "Do you not know who I AM?!" had a face, it'd be very close to your rework.
- MY FATHER, THE INVENTOR OF TOASTER STRUDEL, WILL NOT BE HAPPY TO HEAR ABOUT THIS!
- I was about to say the new look screams nepotism which fits very well
- Hot damn! Now he looks like a rich boy.
- imagine being the youngest and the heir to a wealthy, old money family, this boy definitely has some issues
- he’s beautiful but i feel like he’s about to treat me like a maid cause he mistook my broke looking ass for the help
- Excuse me, but you're in my way, peasant.--Malcolm to any Sim who isn't him, his family, or famous.
- That dude definitely wears Sperry's
- you definitely nailed the posh trust fund baby vibe he has
- He looks like he would've been a very sweet and nice guy if he wasn't, yanno, a Landgrabb
