A major update, the Werewolves, was recently released for The Sims 4, introducing a new region and occult characters to the game. In this guide, we will tell you how to become a werewolf, describe their abilities, characteristics, and passive skills.

How to Become a Werewolf

In The Sims 4 Werewolves, there are several ways to become a werewolf. Here is the complete list:

  1. Create a werewolf Sim in the corresponding menu.
  2. A character must be born from a werewolf Sim.
  3. Any hero with the Werewolf's Curse ability can turn your hero into a werewolf. A single bite or scratch is enough.
  4. Use cheat codes.

Create a Werewolf Sim

The easiest way to play as a werewolf is to create a werewolf Sim, as this requires the least effort. Open the character creation menu and customize it to your liking: the werewolf's appearance, fur color, ear shape, and face.

To do this, click on the cross in the lower left corner of the screen. Hover over the sub-item Add Occult Character and select Add Werewolf. Nothing complicated.

Be Born from a Werewolf Sim

When two werewolf lovers decide to have offspring, chances are, the children will also become werewolves upon reaching adolescence. A child born to werewolf Sims in their teenage years can indeed adopt the werewolf trait. This mechanic works similarly to vampires.

How to Get Infected by Another Werewolf with the Cursed Bite Using the [b]Werewolf's Curse Ability[/b]

Like vampires, all werewolves have the right to use the cursed bite, through which they can turn other Sims into werewolves. However, only powerful high-ranking creatures possess such talent.

If you manage to find such a creature and get infected, your Sim will transform into a werewolf after some time. But first, you will have to go through three stages:

  1. Bite and Discomfort. After the bite, your Sim will experience general discomfort, leading to seizures and even frothing at the mouth.
  2. Hunger. Later on, the infected Sim's hunger will increase, meaning that the basic indicators of the hero will decrease much faster.
  3. Transformation. Eventually, all this leads to transformation when your Sim goes into a rage and can turn into a werewolf.

Exploring Underground Tunnels

This method is similar to the previous one, but to get bitten, you need to explore the underground tunnels in the Moonwood Mill location. The only entrance to the tunnel is located behind the bar and the Sharp Fang bunker.

After visiting such a place, players will have several different options to choose from: some will lead to unlocking research, others to fights. Thus, you can infect your Sim to turn them into a werewolf.

What is Rage

For Sims to first transform into werewolves, they must embrace their animalistic instincts, namely the hungry rage that runs deep in the blood of every werewolf and pushes them to the edge, turning them into a ferocious beast.

Rage envelops werewolves like a warm blanket. As the rage increases, their animalistic instincts become stronger until they finally take over.

The increase in rage is constant and accelerates thanks to certain triggers. It's worth noting that each character may have different triggers. Here is a general list:

  1. Character temperament.
  2. Character preferences.
  3. Werewolf abilities.
  4. Full moon.

As the rage of a Sim grows, the heroes become more emotional, and it becomes easier to anger them. If this happens, you will get the effect Angry or Aggressive. The level of the effect can increase or decrease depending on external factors.

Eventually, their eyes turn red, and when the rage meter is filled, the heroes transform into werewolves. At such moments, it's best to keep the character away from others, as this can lead to undesirable consequences. In the early stages, werewolves will not perform normal actions and become uncontrollable. The best way to avoid conflicts is to lock the Sim in a room where they cannot harm others. In this case, only furniture, items, and other objects that come to hand will suffer.

How to Increase a Werewolf's Rank

Werewolves in The Sims 4 have many cool abilities, but unfortunately, the really good skills have to be unlocked independently. To do this, you need to increase the level of the werewolf Sim and earn as many skill points as possible.

There are a total of five ranks:

  1. Rank 1: Pup.
  2. Rank 2: Mongrel.
  3. Rank 3: Stray.
  4. Rank 4: Veteran.
  5. Rank 5: Predator.

There are several different ways to do this. The simplest is to interact with other werewolves in Moonwood Mill. Here roam both regular werewolves and werewolf leaders, such as Christopher Wolf. Such connections will allow you to level up much faster and unlock cool skills.

Interactions should not only consist of conversations. There are many other interactive actions you can use. For example, you are free to fight with other werewolves or mentor those who are less experienced than you. Eventually, you can read books and learn more about werewolves.

How to Unlock Hidden Abilities. The Best Werewolf Abilities

Like vampires, werewolves have their own unique ability tree. These skills can be unlocked using skill points, which are given as experience is gained.

However, there are also hidden abilities. These cannot be unlocked using ability points, and instead, players must make their Sims do certain things to unlock them.

Below we have listed such skills:

  1. Wolf Empathy: You have spent enough time with werewolves and have come to understand their behavior quite well. Now, the hero can completely relieve other werewolves of their fury and even prevent their rampages.
  2. Wolf Mentor: You have managed to study werewolves and are happy to share your knowledge with your kin.
  3. Wolf Diplomacy: Increases the number of werewolf supporters thanks to diplomacy. To unlock, you must successfully ask a non-werewolf character to show sympathy towards werewolves.
  4. Lunar Enlightenment: You have learned to read ancient werewolf scripts. Unlocks by reading literature about werewolves.
  5. Intimidating Werewolf: Intimidating those around you boosts your mood. To unlock, use werewolf actions towards scared characters when maximum fury is not reached.
  6. Transformation Mastery: Now you can transform into a beast at will. Can be obtained by preventing the hero from scaring characters during a rage-induced rampage.

Best werewolf abilities:

  1. Treasure Hunter: allows you to dig up lost treasures and artifacts. A successful search can earn you a lot of money, making your game even more comfortable.
  2. Hunter: allows you to obtain sustenance through hunting. A good way to save on buying food.
  3. Wolf's Curse: turn other characters into werewolves with a cursed bite.
  4. Immortal Wolf: thanks to this ability, your sim will live forever.

How to Find and Read Books About Werewolves

Books about werewolves in the Werewolves update will help you increase your rank and unlock hidden abilities. There are several ways to find such literature:

  1. Moonwood Mill: inspect libraries and bookshelves in the new area to come across books about werewolves.
  2. Computer: use this device to purchase books about werewolves.
  3. Sniffing: at the beginning of werewolf skill development, the hero can find such books in the ground if they have the Treasure Hunter skill.

Here's a short list of literature that will help increase the werewolf rank and gain additional skill points:

  • Beyond Big & Bad: Rethinking Harmful Werewolf Stereotypes;
  • Peter Barker's First Moon;
  • The Werewolf Who Came in From the Cold;
  • The Wolf Next Door.

How to Cure a Newly Infected Hero and Not Turn Into a Werewolf

If for some reason you do not want to become a werewolf, then you must hurry immediately after the bite. You will have very little time before the sim completes the transformation and turns into a beast.

There are two ways to avoid transformation:

  1. Random interaction [b]Sweat the Werebies Out.[/b] Immediately after the bite and before the hero goes to sleep, you might see a random command Sweat the Werebies Out. In this case, the character will be fully cured and will not become a beast.
  2. Ask for a cure at the bar and bunker [b]Grimtooth.[/b] Head to this specific bar in the Moonwood Mill area and ask the bartender for a werewolf remedy. It will help get rid of the ailment.

Several Facts About Werewolves

  1. Your hero is guaranteed to have the werewolf gene if they are born from two werewolves. However, even in this case, the transformation may not happen. Upon reaching adolescence, the sim has the right to suppress the werewolf gene and remain human.
  2. Werewolf parents can teach their offspring the werewolf howl through social interaction traits. If the child has the beast gene, this will help develop it in adolescence. Also, for this, parents and children must be in a friendly relationship.
  3. You can flirt with other sims as a werewolf, receiving a unique character mood — Flirty.
  4. Do not howl too often. This will lead to the werewolf hero getting a Sore Throat effect.
  5. You can communicate with other sims who are not werewolves to tell about werewolves. If you manage to achieve empathy from such comrades, they will become your allies, even without being werewolves.
