That's pretty cool. But I found you gotta be careful about the raw meat your werewolf Sim brings back if you are living with non-werewolves. My werewolf sim would go hunting and come back with a couple pieces of raw meat. He'd eat one and I'd have him put the rest in the fridge so it wouldn't spoil. But then like immediately after, my other Sim who isn't a werewolf would go to the fridge to get a snack when they are hungry and they always tend to grab the raw meat then get upset/sick for eating raw meat.
@@bloodwolfgaming9269 I always found it really odd how sims would choose to eat foods that disgust them, without any food shortage, and then complain about it afterwards. A normal person would just stop after the first bite
The raw meat has "interesting" effects if non-werewolves eat it. They'll get angry and go all Gordon Ramsay with a moodlet that says "IT'S RAWWWWWWW!!!!" So funny! Also, werewolf toddlers and children can eat the raw meat with no problems so it is an easy way to feed kiddos when money is tight. I like the hunting perk, tbh and a lot of my werewolves have developed the carnivore temperment which means they have to eat it.
It also pairs well with the Simple Living lot trait since it provides a source of meat besides the grocery store or needing to sacrifice and wait for livestock meat. We'll just pretend the mystery steaks are venison. The downside is that it counts it as both an ingredient and a complete dish, so human Sims will regularly pull raw steaks out as "leftovers". When paired with wolf nap, grooming and marking territory, hunting allows a werewolf to live entirely off the land in a very animal-like fashion.
Box them in a room pre- or mid-rampage and they'll level up super fast, having no room to run, only howling, peeing and being mad until their Fury runs out.
the werewolf family i have rn has long since quit their wild lifestyle. marking territory USED to be fun, but now that they live in a 3 bathroom large house, its getting annoying having my werewolf parents pee on the ground when they have guests over, its gonna be a bad influence on their children;;;
There is something I've noticed after unlocking the Transformation Mastery perk on my werewolf. The longer I kept him in his wolf form, he actually started getting the Bored moodlet whenever full moons were approaching. Said something along the lines of "There is no real excitement to it due to them being in their beast form all the time anyway." or something along those lines.
Worth noting with cursed bite just biting someone is usually seen as a negative. But if you are friends with a sim you can ask them if they want to be a werewolf and they will hold out their arm and let you bite them for the curse. Its just a neat little extra way to play if you don't want to be some crazy werewolf that bites everyone but you still want to expand your werewolf family. Also you cannot bite other occults for obvious reasons.
Im doing and 10 gen werewolf fam and my 2nd gen kid adopted a human son who asked to be a werewolf on his own, i think my sims knows i want to make a werewolf only family tree
This pack is the first pack I think the Sims team seemingly made with love, unlike the base game and some of the earlier packs. So very happy for this.
Correction: The undergroud tunnel network has FOUR entrances. The one you missed is at the bar, in the bunker. I find it hilarious that you can bring regular Sims on a hunting party though, lmao.
The Improved healing doesn't just apply to injuries from brawling, but from handiness fails, fire, and anything else that can cause your sim physical harm. Werewolf Sympathy, the relatively hard to unlock unlockable power synergizes with Cursed Bite by making the option to ask if another sim wants to be a werewolf a little more likely to succeed.
I unlocked the Transformation mastery on my first every rampage in moonwood mill, Went around broke everything in my house, howled a bit.. then he teleported ontop of the mountain and was naked and got the ability for free
I like the secret ability that is, I can just eat raw fish as a werewolf. It saves so much on the food bill, and you don't even need a hunter or scavenger trait to do so.
Natural Healing will come in handy with Snowy Escape. Not only will it let your sim do mountain activities sooner, but it also helps to prevent death by falling and death by vending machine. Lunar Epiphany also lets your sim read the parts in werewolf books that were previously unreadable. While these are mostly lore, your sim might also discover the cure, how to make grilled luna fish, gives you secrets about the tunnels (which can lead to more discoveries) etc. Reading any new werewolf book will unlock this. Even those you can buy. I have unlocked it a lot before finding one of the buried werewolf books.
Can you please tell me where and which books to buy to unlock lunar epiphany? I searched on the internet on how to unlock it by reading a book called the insider guide to being a werewolf, but couldnt find it anywhere in the world.
@@Teddyponsel2626 Here with the full list! Books to buy: The Werewolf Who Came in From the Cold Peter Barker's Homecoming Hijinks Peter Barker's Camping Conundrum Peter Barker...in Space! The Wolf Next Door Fanged Friends Forever Packs & Prejudice Books to find: WE'RE Living Magazine An Insider's Guide to Being a Werewolf The Diary of Greggorius Lunvik Once you got the ability, don't throw the books away. Every book on the list seems to give werewolf lore and secrets. The pack magazines don't seem to give any werewolf info.
I just wanted to add this cause I've discovered it a day ago. But if Your werewolf lives on a haunted lot, they can actually devour the cursed objects and even devour the Specters too 😂🤣 I laughed My ass off when I discovered that like if you're annoyed that the Specter keeps rejecting the gifts you worked hard on for them, just eat them haha that'll teach them to not be so ungrateful. If your werewolf is to terrified to get near the cursed objects, just nom them right up lol
I wish we could keep the wolf nap anywhere perk even after you’re wolf has been cured. It’s really useful to just have your sims nap anywhere and would be great to have them lay on the floor blanket that came with the little campers kit
I'm pretty surprised how this ability was only ranked 3/5, since in my opinion it's the single best ability in the entire tree. And you can get it right from the start. Not only can you sleep everywhere, but the sleep is super efficient and fills up your energy bar in just a few hours. Less time spent sleeping means more time available to actually do stuff...
they missed out on giving us a spray bottle. and when you put it in a non werewolves inventory an interaction to spray the werewolf with water if appears.
I think the team forces us to be on that mountain to get the flower. I can't seem to plant the Moonpetal in garden planter boxes to save time travelling to Moonwood Mill.
So, on a side note, the destined love thing for werewolves seems to be that the first werewolf sim you flirt with becomes that destined mate. Because my werewolf girl got the destined thing with one guy, the game crashed, I lost my progress and when I started back up, she flirted with someone else and got the destined thing with them instead. So, careful who your werewolf flirts with, I guess. XD
My werewolves aging stop with immortality abilities even with turning aging on. Other normal sims age normally but for werewolves with this ability, their aging stop like those of vampires.
@@ngominh259 Werewolves are better. Their ability make them completely invulnerable from everything. Even using violence mod can't kill them. They just simply can't die, just as description, they live as the moon stay around the earth.
@@BkExtremis True, plus if you wanna max out a Vampire they gotta sleep in coffins or be tense during daytime (negated somewhat by Deadened Emotions, which gives you a permanently poker face Vampire), and that's not counting the fact that they can't eat, ever. Werewolves can still be normal sims. And they can generate next to no Fury whatsoever with the right temperaments (for me I have both the Mark of the Wolf and Mark of the Forest, which probably stack and help reduce Fury gains by a shit ton) and Refined Lupine reward trait. I practically generate no Fury, but take it with a grain of salt because I haven't seen if Vicious Howl increases it.
@@ngominh259 That's why I love werewolves more than vampires. They can enjoy quality meal. They can still retain their human characteristics, while vampires become a walking dead emotionless beings.
@@BkExtremis Let's hope they overhaul Aliens & Mermaids soon. There are tons of potential for cross-occult references & career improvements, especially with water being essential, the Luna Fish being something the Mermaids should definitely know about, and the Secret Agent career / Covert Operator branch of the Military career not having anything great to do with Aliens or Strangerville, or anything awesome at all.
I'm just so glad Werewolves have Legacy of the Lycan that allows simmers to dump power points into it. Really wish Spellcasters and Vampires will be updated soon with perks like this. The Spellcaster ability panel literally has a gaping hole for at least 2 more perks already. The only thing left is to expand the Vampires' ability panel and let them have a new ability to turn extra Power Point into satisfaction point. I recognize that Mermaids, Aliens, Plant Sims and Ghosts are getting kicked in the head here, but it'd be so cool to see the top 3 occults get updates to be more well-rounded. Extra power points should be turned into something beneficial. Also I notice a funny thing: With Lunar Howl, you can change your wolf's temperament and stop Fury from increasing, like at all (with the addition of the Refined Lupine trait in my case). It's like your Werewolf becomes almost unable to rampage. With Vampires, you can let them have Deadened Emotions. It feels like leveling up your Vampire & Werewolf allow them to attain nirvana & be free of extreme negative moodlets. Pretty cool of the teams to think of this. When you've achieved power, you stop being influenced by emotion. I hope in future update there'll be a tome/diary that addresses this cool point. Like the Grand Master of a Vampire clan and the Apex of a opposite Werewolf pack turned out to be just super mild-mannered & relaxed sims that want nothing to do with fighting, and just want to work on some ancient totem/artifact together to end the feud between the Vamps and the Spellcasters/Werewolves.
@@AgentAsteriski Try it out, lol. I have 3 sisters in my household living together, all leading their own factions of occults. One is an Apex leader of the Wildfangs who is a white wolf with white eyes, blood-red patches on her hands and throat, and 6 tomoe patches round her chest. Super into Gardening and jogging. Another is an overmaxxed Spellcaster that occasionally does yoga and goes fishing. The youngest is a Grand Master Vampire that loves bingewatching TV and cooking. All 3 of them live in the same house and goof off like puppies all the time.
Scavenger + Enhanced smell are my absolute favourite. When my werewolves rampage, that's how I keep them from doing anything worse. Which, hint for anyone who needs it: if you have them howl (or they howl by themselves--this does not include pack howl) they will then decide to run somewhere (which means the lot you were on when the rampaging started) and howl there.
I personally like that you have to unlock the ability to control your transformation as, if your Sim is new to being a werewolf [such as being bit or being a teenager experiencing their first transformation], they would naturally not be able to control it well. Having it unlocked by not scaring another Sim while rampaging/during a full moon makes sense to me
Yes, I'll add my "no aging = immortal" observance to this catalog of useful comments.... I currently have MCCC set all sim life stages to just 1 day each = Pregnancy to Death = 8 days --- Rory the werewolf has seen many 8-day generations in her sim lifetime and she's *still* a young adult😂
I've been waiting for this video since the pack came out! I'm so happy to learn all of this important info! I've been struggling so hard with my Single werewolf Dad that I LEGIT stopped and told myself not to play that family till Petey made a video about the pack! Thank you so much Petey! I can't even express how happy I am that you made this video! You are the best! I'll be sharing this video with all of my friends for sure! I feel like I learned so much and now i have so many ideas! Thank you again Petey! Cya Later!
Hunting gives you a positive moodlet and there's that temperament that requires it too. And storytelling. My wolf is a wild animal! He's going to eat raw steak versus a bowl of cereal lol
The scavenge ground has come in so handy, I decided to cure my werewolf, although no rush. Very cool to see the abilities so we can see what everything does and be able to pick before we find out it's so not what we want. Thank you!
Super speed is my favorite perk along with tunneler. Since Moonwood mill is basically open world and they’ll literally walk home from anywhere, super speed and tunneler are so useful for my impatient self
I love how they use a doggie chew toy for the tug-of-war 😆 Also, aww... Lily Zhu took the Immortal Wolf ability so she could rebuild a relationship with her vampire cousins...
Imagine this: Your sim can use charisma to get loans from a sim. Then ask money for a compaign when in the politician career. Then scare them away with your werewolf abilities. Lots of income per sim.
Thank you so much for making a video about the werewolf abilities. I have the werewolf pack but haven't really played with it as I prefer watching videos so I knie what to do. Your video is super informative and I now have a much better idea of the abilities to choose. Thanks 😀
Ya I feel like they took out any of the negatives and just put in only positives which sucks did the same thing to spell casters I liked the balance between two it made game play more interesting.
Y’all, the temperaments ARE the negatives- Some of the perks are for those who wanna be more like the collectives and never rampage (which you will eventually anyways) and some for those who don’t care about rampaging. The fury IS the downside, you can’t function normally if you get all the necessity temperaments. You guys are saying there’s no weaknesses when they’re are-
I saw some one on Social media have a werewolf devour a dolphin in island living… I have no idea if it was photoshop or if you can actually do that I’m too scared to test it.
Lets not forget: its not an ability but you can easily increase your handiness skill by letting your werewolf destroy objects and let them repair it afterwards. Rinse and repeat.
Whenever I have a new werewolf and I unlock the Veracous Hunger perk, I go to a community lot I never touch and eat everything. Boosts your rank up decently quick and you can do it while rampaging
22:32 I have to disagree and think werewolf mastery should be an unlockable power, especially for sims who became werewolves by being bitten. When You have the beast inside of you whether through a bite or being born with it, the beast will always be wild and vicious. That being said it will obviously be hard to control at first. Especially if you were bitten, having an uncontrollable wild entity inside of You fighting for dominance of your body. But within time you'll learn to control it and work with it. Kinda like the relationship between Eddie and Venom. Also like in the underworld movies. Newborn or recently bitten Lycans can only transform during a full moon and it's slow and painful, while elder lycans can transform at will and it's painless for them. Also in some cases if you don't learn how to take control of the beast, the beast will take control of you and you'll go feral and be stuck in werewolf form forever
The Sims: Furries....uh I mean werewolfs... actually seems to have a lot of interesting content and new powers, I might actually consider this one, at least it doesn't seem to be a total cluster like the recent wedding pack.
Absolutely Great! (But say - who could ever WANT to resist icecream?? O.O *scratcheshead*) After watching the video I have to think, this time EA really put a lot of effort and thoughts into this Pack ... after the Desaster with the Wedding Story Pack! ;) Not sure if I will play a Werewolf soon, but who knows? Although your Video is - as always! - very helpful for any newbie on the Werewolf-Trail. Keep on that awsome work!
I want to add that, while I can't 100% confirm this, I'm pretty sure that when you attempt to unlock transformation mastery that it includes not scaring any pets in addition to not scaring people. I managed to keep my werewolf well out of sight for several rampages, but only unlocked this skill after taking extra care to stay away from my Sim's pets.
I feel like the "Hunt for Food" option was the closest PG rated thing they could implement for werewolf roleplay. As we all know, werewolves are universally known to be cannibalistic.
I lock my werewolf either outside or in a certain room when he starts to have high fury. You cant lock doors on the actual rampage but I usually take care of some of his simple need and if I have enough time I lock him in a room with nothing to break or just outside and outside he just territory marks and scavenges over and over again. Pretty effective 👍. Also when I got the territory mark he just spontaneously peed randomly and it was hilarious
I May be ridiculously late, but, you can also use the will to resist skill to get transformation mastery. It’s super easy. If your about to rampage, stay in a space where there’s not many people. I like to lock my sim in a room or something. Then try to use the skill. If it works, ez transformation mastery and you can transform whenever you wanna. :)
Also the curse bearer tells you the kind of occult sim it is cuz you cant turn a occult sim into a werewolf lets say the sim was already an alien it would say “This sim is already an alien” and it tells me what occult sim they are and it’s cool
I just discovered that the meat (or mushroom if your sim is a vegetarian) can be used as an offering to spirits. It's very handy if you don't want to craft knife blocks every time you take a paranormal investigator gig.
This is a late comment but when I get a werewolf I immediately get them to transformation mastery and turn them into a werewolf if you just go to moonwood mill and mark territory somewhere not on a lot it will up your sims werewolf experince and doubles it while rampaging so that's what I do and I don't lose hygiene.
One thing that wasn't addressed is whether the Natural Healing power affects injuries from other packs, like the Dazed moodlet from getting zapped on Robotics Workbench, the injuries you can get from the woodworking bench, or injuries and poisons from exploring the Jungle. the Robotics one happens way too often, even at high skill, and lasts a ridiculous 3 hours. It would be great if that power could knock it down to an hour.
If you want to fulfill your werewolf's social achievements you need to have him or her start out as a tame wolf which is a lot harder done than said and it will be hard enough without actually trying to build them up to environmentally dangerous beasts first. I like werewolves, but spellcasters get more benefits from gems than werewolves do when not selling them off for money. Eating Raw meat does replenish a werewolf's hunger better than simply devouring objects despite the devouring action being more fun to watch.
Here are a few thoughts on some of these werewolf abilities I have. Ferocity: This has been a really helpful power in my sims paranormal investigator pack in one regard. Scaring away a particularly bothersome ghost on expert gigs named Temperance. Which does make the job a hell of a lot easier. Scavenger: Didn't know this lowered the anger. I willl definetively put this to good use now. Voracious Hunger: Also helpful on the paranormal gigs, as werewolves can eat spectres. Does this advance the meter? No. But you can eat all the ghosts, clean their mess, and what remains of the meter you can finish with rituals now that the spectres aren't there to interupt. Tunneler: I wish there was a switch like "Always be Tunnneling" that you could put on. Making your werewolf automatically tunnel everywhere whenever outside. Kinda how Superspeed works really. I'd also put it so you can have both Tunneler and Superspeed activated at the same time, meaning when outside the werewolf will tunnel and when inside the werewolf will run in superspeed... Well run on all fours at least (as I don't like superspeed). Superspeed: I sincerely wish werewolves didn't have superspeed, as that feels like a very vampire ability. And it just looks sillly when werewolves do it as their running on all four animation is just sped up. I would have honestly changed this to be something more like "running on all fours" or something. In that the werewolf still runs faster than most sims when on all four, but it's not superspeed. Giving it more distinct vibe than the superspeed. And I'd be willing to take the L on that despite being team werewolf between werewolves and vampires. Immortality: You know, this feels more like vampire immortality really. You can gain this ability in your teen years and never age from the point where you gain it. And vampires whole thing is that they are frozen in whatever age they got turned into a vampire. How would I change this to add a more werewolf flare? I'd make it so this ability only keeps a werewolf aging half of the month, aka the month where the lunar cycle is closer to the full moon than not. And I'd keep the "can't be killed by anything" aspect of it too, only it's also tied to half of the month when it's closer to the full moon. It creates a scenario where the werewolf has to be more careful and keep an eye on the lunar cycle, and only pick fights with Vampires when the time is right. I do like that Vampires, Werewolves and Witches all have different variation of immortality, and wish more occults did that. Vampires don't age at all, witches don't die of old age but can die in other ways if they drink a potion, ghosts are stuck being the way they were when they died, servos are machines etc.Just wish more occults had this, and the werewolf variation felt more werewolf than vampire. And here are ideas for what kind of immortality a few other occults could have. Aliens could have mastered medical technology to keep things like age and illnesses at bay, but it's a active kind of immortality where you do need to regularly take a science fiction medicine to maintain that eternal youth and immunity to illnesses. And it can't reset your current aging. Mermaids could work a bit like succubuses, they need to lure others into the ocean to feed on their life force. And when they do their current aging resets. The plant sims could plant plant sim babies, that turn out to be idendical clones of their plant sim parent when they grow up. And fairies could age normally, but whenever they return to the fae realm they reset their current aging. Lunar Howl: Kinda useless as I pick whatever traits I want anyway with cheats. I am honestly just not a fan of how the perks are asigned randomly. Like I have had things like my vegetarian werewolf got the trait carnivore, and my spoiled rich kid werewolf became anti-capitalist. Both kinda interesting concepts, but neither one I chose for myself. I think it would have simply been better to let players choose, ditch this ability entirely and come up with one extra ability. Like did you know that pre Wolfman werewolves were people who fell asleep and their dream selves became regular wolves in the waking world while their body is still asleep? That seems like it could have been fun to toy around with instead. Werewolf Diplomacy: No notes, this is just perfect. Wish other occults had this, like wouldn't it be cool if we could have werewolves that are vampire allies to counteract the initial negative feelings werewolves have towards vampires? Transformation Mastery: ... Sigh. I do have a lot of feelings on the werewolf transformation. Not a fan of how you transform when losing control of your rage, or how you can learn to master it. I think it would have been more special to have the werewolves only transform during the full moon, as that makes it more rare that we see them transformed and builds up anticipation. Also the full moon thing is what separates werewolves from other shapeshifters. I am not a fan of how you can regain control and transform back during the full moon. As it makes full moons even less special when you don't have to spend that night as a rage monster. And lastly I am not a fan of how the werewolves still talk like humas even when transformed. Also while I learned to like the werewolf design there are still aspects I'd like to see changed. But no single change could have fixed the design, and the werewolf honestly would need a complete overhaul to work for me.
it does in a weird way tho, unlike vampires it resets the age meter every day so you'll always at the beginning of the lifestate (so for me young adult is 94 days, will go down one but instantly reset the next day or so
I have a teen wolf. I have gone through a rampage without scaring any sim, but didn't unlock transformation mastery. Do I have to be young adult or older for this?
one thing I'll add is that it explicitly does not appear to count if you rampage during a full moon. as in, you need to rampage due to normal fury gain, not the full moon. Where ways to ensure you don't scare someone accidentally: - Keep them locked in a room or house with no one else there - Try to get the rampage on a lot that sees very little traffic and preferably at night (I recommend going to Moonwood Mills at night, since it tends to be fairly abandoned, just as long as you don't hop into the bar which sees a lot of traffic) - Focus your werewolf's rage into productive things away from anyone else--savagely go *here*, scavenge, smell, tunnel, and don't let them howl (pack howl is fine) because then they'll run back to where they started to howl there too, which isn't always an issue, but if you were, say, keeping them around the lake and then they run back to the bar ... yeah
Description says Enhanced Smell allows werewolves to smell emotions, but i can't find the option to do it. I was looking for an option similar to alien's "Emphatize" or Servo's "Scan for emotions" on the social menu. Maybe i'm looking on the wrong place?
Ooh I may have an answer for you Darchy. I think this relates to the scent they give off, and the general smell interaction will reveal this. For example I found that flirty sims often gave off a pink scent, and angry sims a red scent. So I think this is what the description was pointing to.

Probably because they're into furries

The hunting for meat one is really useful if you have werewolf babies or children to feed and low/no money (or no fridge...because you ate it!)
Correction: The undergroud tunnel network has FOUR entrances. The one you missed is at the bar, in the bunker.
I find it hilarious that you can bring regular Sims on a hunting party though, lmao.
And they get freaked out after doing it too.
You can also BUY an entrance to the underground in the Build/Buy system, letting your sim have an entrance to the network right at home.
They wanna throw hands with a fuckin deer seemingly

iirc That's how you get it everytime, they just need to not be around non-occult sims during their first fullmoon
Yeah, same. I didn't realize it was even anything special until my second werewolf, where it didn't happen.
That also happened to my sim but he did't get the ability 😢
I like the secret ability that is, I can just eat raw fish as a werewolf. It saves so much on the food bill, and you don't even need a hunter or scavenger trait to do so.
I should think of doing a werewolf who prefer the outdoors than the city life
Yeah it came very handy when i was doing the fishing collection,
Natural Healing will come in handy with Snowy Escape. Not only will it let your sim do mountain activities sooner, but it also helps to prevent death by falling and death by vending machine.
Lunar Epiphany also lets your sim read the parts in werewolf books that were previously unreadable. While these are mostly lore, your sim might also discover the cure, how to make grilled luna fish, gives you secrets about the tunnels (which can lead to more discoveries) etc.
Reading any new werewolf book will unlock this. Even those you can buy. I have unlocked it a lot before finding one of the buried werewolf books.
Can you please tell me where and which books to buy to unlock lunar epiphany? I searched on the internet on how to unlock it by reading a book called the insider guide to being a werewolf, but couldnt find it anywhere in the world.
@@Teddyponsel2626 I'll get you a full list later, but for now I'll suggest Peter Barker books. You can buy these or find in Moonwood Mill's library.

Once you got the ability, don't throw the books away. Every book on the list seems to give werewolf lore and secrets.
The pack magazines don't seem to give any werewolf info.
@@TheSimsTutorialsEg nice. Thanks. Where can I find the hidden books such as "an insider's guide to being a werewolf"?
@@Teddyponsel2626 Scavange the ground of Moonwood Mill as a werewolf.
I just wanted to add this cause I've discovered it a day ago. But if Your werewolf lives on a haunted lot, they can actually devour the cursed objects and even devour the Specters too 😂🤣 I laughed My ass off when I discovered that like if you're annoyed that the Specter keeps rejecting the gifts you worked hard on for them, just eat them haha that'll teach them to not be so ungrateful. If your werewolf is to terrified to get near the cursed objects, just nom them right up lol
"OMG WHY IS EVERYTHING MOVING!!! WHAT ARE THESE CREATURES UHH UHHH LET ME EAT THEM NOM"
I wish we could keep the wolf nap anywhere perk even after you’re wolf has been cured. It’s really useful to just have your sims nap anywhere and would be great to have them lay on the floor blanket that came with the little campers kit
Yes I'd love it if some creator made a mod that allowed any sim to nap on the ground. It would also be convenient for playing rags to riches
I'm pretty surprised how this ability was only ranked 3/5, since in my opinion it's the single best ability in the entire tree. And you can get it right from the start. Not only can you sleep everywhere, but the sleep is super efficient and fills up your energy bar in just a few hours. Less time spent sleeping means more time available to actually do stuff...
I would love this so much Ayareigns! Definitely agree the ability to nap anywhere is so handy and cute.
they missed out on giving us a spray bottle. and when you put it in a non werewolves inventory an interaction to spray the werewolf with water if appears.
And the newspaper
One good thing about them tearing everything up. Your repair skills go up quicker.
The immortal wolf trait disables aging as well as the ability to die
Apologies Raul! This is a mistake I made in the video! Sorry about that!
You can reset all your ability points by eating a moonwood petal flower.
I think the team forces us to be on that mountain to get the flower. I can't seem to plant the Moonpetal in garden planter boxes to save time travelling to Moonwood Mill.
@@ngominh259
You can’t plant them, they only grow in moonwood mill under a full moon on the howling point
Agreed. Exploring the underground tunnels without Nightvision and a high Fitness skill is just not worth it.
Have both and after a couple in-game weeks I still can't seem to connect any of the tunnels. 😑
@@BonaparteBardithion same Q.Q
So, on a side note, the destined love thing for werewolves seems to be that the first werewolf sim you flirt with becomes that destined mate. Because my werewolf girl got the destined thing with one guy, the game crashed, I lost my progress and when I started back up, she flirted with someone else and got the destined thing with them instead. So, careful who your werewolf flirts with, I guess. XD
My werewolves aging stop with immortality abilities even with turning aging on. Other normal sims age normally but for werewolves with this ability, their aging stop like those of vampires.
And Spellcaster, if they drink the Potion of Rejuvenation & Immortality.
@@ngominh259 Werewolves are better. Their ability make them completely invulnerable from everything. Even using violence mod can't kill them. They just simply can't die, just as description, they live as the moon stay around the earth.
@@BkExtremis True, plus if you wanna max out a Vampire they gotta sleep in coffins or be tense during daytime (negated somewhat by Deadened Emotions, which gives you a permanently poker face Vampire), and that's not counting the fact that they can't eat, ever. Werewolves can still be normal sims. And they can generate next to no Fury whatsoever with the right temperaments (for me I have both the Mark of the Wolf and Mark of the Forest, which probably stack and help reduce Fury gains by a shit ton) and Refined Lupine reward trait. I practically generate no Fury, but take it with a grain of salt because I haven't seen if Vicious Howl increases it.
@@ngominh259 That's why I love werewolves more than vampires. They can enjoy quality meal. They can still retain their human characteristics, while vampires become a walking dead emotionless beings.
@@BkExtremis Let's hope they overhaul Aliens & Mermaids soon. There are tons of potential for cross-occult references & career improvements, especially with water being essential, the Luna Fish being something the Mermaids should definitely know about, and the Secret Agent career / Covert Operator branch of the Military career not having anything great to do with Aliens or Strangerville, or anything awesome at all.
I want to correct 15:45 Immortal Wolf; my Apex Wolf has not aged at all since attaining this ability.
My aging in game is on FYI
Same! Mine hasn't aged at all
I’ve been looking forward to this
I'm just so glad Werewolves have Legacy of the Lycan that allows simmers to dump power points into it. Really wish Spellcasters and Vampires will be updated soon with perks like this. The Spellcaster ability panel literally has a gaping hole for at least 2 more perks already. The only thing left is to expand the Vampires' ability panel and let them have a new ability to turn extra Power Point into satisfaction point. I recognize that Mermaids, Aliens, Plant Sims and Ghosts are getting kicked in the head here, but it'd be so cool to see the top 3 occults get updates to be more well-rounded. Extra power points should be turned into something beneficial.
Also I notice a funny thing: With Lunar Howl, you can change your wolf's temperament and stop Fury from increasing, like at all (with the addition of the Refined Lupine trait in my case). It's like your Werewolf becomes almost unable to rampage. With Vampires, you can let them have Deadened Emotions. It feels like leveling up your Vampire & Werewolf allow them to attain nirvana & be free of extreme negative moodlets. Pretty cool of the teams to think of this. When you've achieved power, you stop being influenced by emotion. I hope in future update there'll be a tome/diary that addresses this cool point. Like the Grand Master of a Vampire clan and the Apex of a opposite Werewolf pack turned out to be just super mild-mannered & relaxed sims that want nothing to do with fighting, and just want to work on some ancient totem/artifact together to end the feud between the Vamps and the Spellcasters/Werewolves.
I think I just found my next household idea in a 2 year old comment, lmao
@@AgentAsteriski Try it out, lol. I have 3 sisters in my household living together, all leading their own factions of occults. One is an Apex leader of the Wildfangs who is a white wolf with white eyes, blood-red patches on her hands and throat, and 6 tomoe patches round her chest. Super into Gardening and jogging. Another is an overmaxxed Spellcaster that occasionally does yoga and goes fishing. The youngest is a Grand Master Vampire that loves bingewatching TV and cooking. All 3 of them live in the same house and goof off like puppies all the time.
Scavenger + Enhanced smell are my absolute favourite. When my werewolves rampage, that's how I keep them from doing anything worse.
Which, hint for anyone who needs it: if you have them howl (or they howl by themselves--this does not include pack howl) they will then decide to run somewhere (which means the lot you were on when the rampaging started) and howl there.
I personally like that you have to unlock the ability to control your transformation as, if your Sim is new to being a werewolf [such as being bit or being a teenager experiencing their first transformation], they would naturally not be able to control it well. Having it unlocked by not scaring another Sim while rampaging/during a full moon makes sense to me
Yes, I'll add my "no aging = immortal" observance to this catalog of useful comments.... I currently have MCCC set all sim life stages to just 1 day each = Pregnancy to Death = 8 days --- Rory the werewolf has seen many 8-day generations in her sim lifetime and she's *still* a young adult😂
I've been waiting for this video since the pack came out! I'm so happy to learn all of this important info! I've been struggling so hard with my Single werewolf Dad that I LEGIT stopped and told myself not to play that family till Petey made a video about the pack!
Thank you so much Petey! I can't even express how happy I am that you made this video! You are the best! I'll be sharing this video with all of my friends for sure! I feel like I learned so much and now i have so many ideas! Thank you again Petey!
Cya Later!
Awe shucks thanks Calypso! Really appreciate the super kind comment and support, you are too kind! Hope that you're going well :) Cya later!
My favourite is tunnelling, because it saves so much travel time.
Hunting gives you a positive moodlet and there's that temperament that requires it too. And storytelling. My wolf is a wild animal! He's going to eat raw steak versus a bowl of cereal lol
But not so wild that he'd forgo a plate of course
The scavenge ground has come in so handy, I decided to cure my werewolf, although no rush. Very cool to see the abilities so we can see what everything does and be able to pick before we find out it's so not what we want. Thank you!
Was waiting for this video! Go over the temperaments next, please :)
Never into the occult pack before but after watching this I kinda wanna play it
I literally just started watching your videos a few days ago and i learned so many things i didn’t know about, you definitely have a new follower!
Thank you so much for the support Nicarra :)
Super speed is my favorite perk along with tunneler. Since Moonwood mill is basically open world and they’ll literally walk home from anywhere, super speed and tunneler are so useful for my impatient self
I love how they use a doggie chew toy for the tug-of-war 😆
Also, aww... Lily Zhu took the Immortal Wolf ability so she could rebuild a relationship with her vampire cousins...
People say this pack is bad but it’s literally the perfect homeless challenge build. Love it!
Bought this yesterday, I appreciate the upload!
To be honest. I think the hunting ability is good for story telling. it gives that wild vibe and you can be in the forest camp for example vibe.
Imagine this:
Your sim can use charisma to get loans from a sim.
Then ask money for a compaign when in the politician career.
Then scare them away with your werewolf abilities.
Lots of income per sim.
😂😂😂😂
I’ve been waiting for this one!🙌 turn it uuuuppp ✊😤
I love playing with homeless sims and weareolves seems to fit that game play style really well
The zoom ins are always hilarious with these types of videos
Finally Petey! Love your vídeos ♥️
Thank you so much for making a video about the werewolf abilities. I have the werewolf pack but haven't really played with it as I prefer watching videos so I knie what to do. Your video is super informative and I now have a much better idea of the abilities to choose. Thanks 😀
Awe shucks thanks for the kind comment Samantha :) Really appreciate it!
Wish there was a link to the pale blonde sim you turned into a werewolf because his aesthetic is amazing and he looks fun to use!
Agreed
Can we just acknowledge how funny the description for the moodlet "smells like vampire" is? It's, "Ugh, is there a walking corpse nearby?!"
Very good video as always Petey, very detailed and useful 👍
Thank you for the kind comment Riel!
Great video, needed this! Thank you so much ❤
Thank you for the kind comment Rayana!
I’ve been waiting for this video
Most of those abilities are just simply lazy perks.
I was hoping that they have sort of customisation way of bouging just like vampires.
I agree. I hoped that they'd have a skill tree where the werewolves would have to choose a weakness after then gain a certain amount of abilities.
hunting and night vision are lazyyyy
Ya I feel like they took out any of the negatives and just put in only positives which sucks did the same thing to spell casters I liked the balance between two it made game play more interesting.
Y’all, the temperaments ARE the negatives-
Some of the perks are for those who wanna be more like the collectives and never rampage (which you will eventually anyways) and some for those who don’t care about rampaging. The fury IS the downside, you can’t function normally if you get all the necessity temperaments. You guys are saying there’s no weaknesses when they’re are-
I saw some one on Social media have a werewolf devour a dolphin in island living… I have no idea if it was photoshop or if you can actually do that I’m too scared to test it.
And apparently chickens from Cottage Living
Good to know. I've only tried it with bunnies, which didn't work.
I know one thing. The werewolves scares the crap out of all the other Sims. I never seen so many scared Sims. 😂😂 And actually it's fun.
Lets not forget: its not an ability but you can easily increase your handiness skill by letting your werewolf destroy objects and let them repair it afterwards. Rinse and repeat.
I didn't know I needed that video!
Whenever I have a new werewolf and I unlock the Veracous Hunger perk, I go to a community lot I never touch and eat everything. Boosts your rank up decently quick and you can do it while rampaging
was wanting to level up my werewolf quick to test some stuff
thank you king/queen/your highness
I didn’t like this pack at first but as I watched gameplay of it and the abilities It’s starting to grow on me
Thx Pete, great video.
Thank you for the kind comment Reece :)
3:52 the lady in the chair was like "nope I'm out"
It’s neat how EA knows that werewolves and vampires are natural enemies
Maxis gives us werewolves.
Werewolves look like cats without tails.
Lazy asf if you ask me. Ima mod the hell out of this.
Been waiting for this!!!!
It bothers me is they don't have tails...
Oh wow. Am I the first to comment and like? 🥳 It's a great guide ❤️ thanks pete! I love werewolves 😅
Aww thank you Rie :D
What are your observations on fated mates sentiment? My sim got it when she flirted with Rory the first time..
i can see all the therians playing this pack. :) and i love how ur sims can do qauds! while a werewolf
22:32 I have to disagree and think werewolf mastery should be an unlockable power, especially for sims who became werewolves by being bitten. When You have the beast inside of you whether through a bite or being born with it, the beast will always be wild and vicious. That being said it will obviously be hard to control at first. Especially if you were bitten, having an uncontrollable wild entity inside of You fighting for dominance of your body. But within time you'll learn to control it and work with it. Kinda like the relationship between Eddie and Venom. Also like in the underworld movies. Newborn or recently bitten Lycans can only transform during a full moon and it's slow and painful, while elder lycans can transform at will and it's painless for them. Also in some cases if you don't learn how to take control of the beast, the beast will take control of you and you'll go feral and be stuck in werewolf form forever
The Sims: Furries....uh I mean werewolfs... actually seems to have a lot of interesting content and new powers, I might actually consider this one, at least it doesn't seem to be a total cluster like the recent wedding pack.
Absolutely Great! (But say - who could ever WANT to resist icecream?? O.O *scratcheshead*) After watching the video I have to think, this time EA really put a lot of effort and thoughts into this Pack ... after the Desaster with the Wedding Story Pack! ;) Not sure if I will play a Werewolf soon, but who knows? Although your Video is - as always! - very helpful for any newbie on the Werewolf-Trail. Keep on that awsome work!
I want to add that, while I can't 100% confirm this, I'm pretty sure that when you attempt to unlock transformation mastery that it includes not scaring any pets in addition to not scaring people. I managed to keep my werewolf well out of sight for several rampages, but only unlocked this skill after taking extra care to stay away from my Sim's pets.
Oooh thanks for that amazing added tip FelisRin! :)
the sped up werewolf running is so funny 😭😭😭
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOSSSSSS
Thank you so much for the kind comment Nanacita!
truly funny Perks.... Love them..
Nice detailed video as always!
I feel like the "Hunt for Food" option was the closest PG rated thing they could implement for werewolf roleplay. As we all know, werewolves are universally known to be cannibalistic.
i cant wait for a tvdu gameplay. if i can’t make a hybrid for klaus mikaelson, i’m just gonna have to search for whatever mod i can
My favorite is the one where you dig the tunnels I thought that one was pretty cool I also like the immortal one
I lock my werewolf either outside or in a certain room when he starts to have high fury. You cant lock doors on the actual rampage but I usually take care of some of his simple need and if I have enough time I lock him in a room with nothing to break or just outside and outside he just territory marks and scavenges over and over again. Pretty effective 👍. Also when I got the territory mark he just spontaneously peed randomly and it was hilarious
This is the info i need. Thank you so much.........
I May be ridiculously late, but, you can also use the will to resist skill to get transformation mastery. It’s super easy. If your about to rampage, stay in a space where there’s not many people. I like to lock my sim in a room or something. Then try to use the skill. If it works, ez transformation mastery and you can transform whenever you wanna. :)
Also the curse bearer tells you the kind of occult sim it is cuz you cant turn a occult sim into a werewolf lets say the sim was already an alien it would say “This sim is already an alien” and it tells me what occult sim they are and it’s cool
This pack is fun but god merciful did they invite "Cats" production team to work on werewolf look ffs?
Nice Mod, but the Sims look weird in theyre Werewolf form.
Maybe there's gonna be a shapeshifter pack one day
not any weirder than previous werewolves
Ahoeee thanks for sharing again!!
Thank you for the kind comment Marianne :)
I just discovered that the meat (or mushroom if your sim is a vegetarian) can be used as an offering to spirits. It's very handy if you don't want to craft knife blocks every time you take a paranormal investigator gig.
This is a late comment but when I get a werewolf I immediately get them to transformation mastery and turn them into a werewolf if you just go to moonwood mill and mark territory somewhere not on a lot it will up your sims werewolf experince and doubles it while rampaging so that's what I do and I don't lose hygiene.
One thing that wasn't addressed is whether the Natural Healing power affects injuries from other packs, like the Dazed moodlet from getting zapped on Robotics Workbench, the injuries you can get from the woodworking bench, or injuries and poisons from exploring the Jungle. the Robotics one happens way too often, even at high skill, and lasts a ridiculous 3 hours. It would be great if that power could knock it down to an hour.
7:16 Does anyone know the moodlets for Mermaids and Aliens?
One of the Temperamants requires raw meat so the Hunting ability is kind of crucial for that!
If you want to fulfill your werewolf's social achievements you need to have him or her start out as a tame wolf which is a lot harder done than said and it will be hard enough without actually trying to build them up to environmentally dangerous beasts first.
I like werewolves, but spellcasters get more benefits from gems than werewolves do when not selling them off for money.
Eating Raw meat does replenish a werewolf's hunger better than simply devouring objects despite the devouring action being more fun to watch.
I was contemplating on buying this pack but #PeteyPlaysIt swayed Me . Funny and charming review
Can you use a spellcaster to turn someone into a piece of furniture or an inanimate object and then have a werewolf eat them
Here are a few thoughts on some of these werewolf abilities I have.
Ferocity:
This has been a really helpful power in my sims paranormal investigator pack in one regard. Scaring away a particularly bothersome ghost on expert gigs named Temperance. Which does make the job a hell of a lot easier.
Scavenger:
Didn't know this lowered the anger. I willl definetively put this to good use now.
Voracious Hunger:
Also helpful on the paranormal gigs, as werewolves can eat spectres. Does this advance the meter? No. But you can eat all the ghosts, clean their mess, and what remains of the meter you can finish with rituals now that the spectres aren't there to interupt.
Tunneler:
I wish there was a switch like "Always be Tunnneling" that you could put on. Making your werewolf automatically tunnel everywhere whenever outside. Kinda how Superspeed works really. I'd also put it so you can have both Tunneler and Superspeed activated at the same time, meaning when outside the werewolf will tunnel and when inside the werewolf will run in superspeed... Well run on all fours at least (as I don't like superspeed).
Superspeed:
I sincerely wish werewolves didn't have superspeed, as that feels like a very vampire ability. And it just looks sillly when werewolves do it as their running on all four animation is just sped up. I would have honestly changed this to be something more like "running on all fours" or something. In that the werewolf still runs faster than most sims when on all four, but it's not superspeed. Giving it more distinct vibe than the superspeed. And I'd be willing to take the L on that despite being team werewolf between werewolves and vampires.
Immortality:
You know, this feels more like vampire immortality really. You can gain this ability in your teen years and never age from the point where you gain it. And vampires whole thing is that they are frozen in whatever age they got turned into a vampire. How would I change this to add a more werewolf flare? I'd make it so this ability only keeps a werewolf aging half of the month, aka the month where the lunar cycle is closer to the full moon than not. And I'd keep the "can't be killed by anything" aspect of it too, only it's also tied to half of the month when it's closer to the full moon. It creates a scenario where the werewolf has to be more careful and keep an eye on the lunar cycle, and only pick fights with Vampires when the time is right. I do like that Vampires, Werewolves and Witches all have different variation of immortality, and wish more occults did that. Vampires don't age at all, witches don't die of old age but can die in other ways if they drink a potion, ghosts are stuck being the way they were when they died, servos are machines etc.Just wish more occults had this, and the werewolf variation felt more werewolf than vampire. And here are ideas for what kind of immortality a few other occults could have. Aliens could have mastered medical technology to keep things like age and illnesses at bay, but it's a active kind of immortality where you do need to regularly take a science fiction medicine to maintain that eternal youth and immunity to illnesses. And it can't reset your current aging. Mermaids could work a bit like succubuses, they need to lure others into the ocean to feed on their life force. And when they do their current aging resets. The plant sims could plant plant sim babies, that turn out to be idendical clones of their plant sim parent when they grow up. And fairies could age normally, but whenever they return to the fae realm they reset their current aging.
Lunar Howl:
Kinda useless as I pick whatever traits I want anyway with cheats. I am honestly just not a fan of how the perks are asigned randomly. Like I have had things like my vegetarian werewolf got the trait carnivore, and my spoiled rich kid werewolf became anti-capitalist. Both kinda interesting concepts, but neither one I chose for myself. I think it would have simply been better to let players choose, ditch this ability entirely and come up with one extra ability. Like did you know that pre Wolfman werewolves were people who fell asleep and their dream selves became regular wolves in the waking world while their body is still asleep? That seems like it could have been fun to toy around with instead.
Werewolf Diplomacy:
No notes, this is just perfect. Wish other occults had this, like wouldn't it be cool if we could have werewolves that are vampire allies to counteract the initial negative feelings werewolves have towards vampires?
Transformation Mastery:
... Sigh. I do have a lot of feelings on the werewolf transformation. Not a fan of how you transform when losing control of your rage, or how you can learn to master it. I think it would have been more special to have the werewolves only transform during the full moon, as that makes it more rare that we see them transformed and builds up anticipation. Also the full moon thing is what separates werewolves from other shapeshifters. I am not a fan of how you can regain control and transform back during the full moon. As it makes full moons even less special when you don't have to spend that night as a rage monster. And lastly I am not a fan of how the werewolves still talk like humas even when transformed. Also while I learned to like the werewolf design there are still aspects I'd like to see changed. But no single change could have fixed the design, and the werewolf honestly would need a complete overhaul to work for me.
I think it should be a lockable ability because in werewolf movies, they have to learn to take control of when they transform, and when they don’t.
pretty sure immortal does stop you from aging up
it does in a weird way tho, unlike vampires it resets the age meter every day so you'll always at the beginning of the lifestate (so for me young adult is 94 days, will go down one but instantly reset the next day or so
I have a teen wolf. I have gone through a rampage without scaring any sim, but didn't unlock transformation mastery. Do I have to be young adult or older for this?
i don’t think so. just keep trying. the same thing happens to me with lunar epiphany.
@@chariotmoon Thanks for your reply. I will keep trying then. As a teen wolf I can confirm that I have unlocked lunar epiphany.
I think it’s a glitch. I had to try 2 times with one of my sims, while the other unlocked the transformation mastery right away
@@ChrisannaDaye you definitely scared somebody an probably didn’t realize it
one thing I'll add is that it explicitly does not appear to count if you rampage during a full moon. as in, you need to rampage due to normal fury gain, not the full moon.
Where ways to ensure you don't scare someone accidentally:
- Keep them locked in a room or house with no one else there
- Try to get the rampage on a lot that sees very little traffic and preferably at night (I recommend going to Moonwood Mills at night, since it tends to be fairly abandoned, just as long as you don't hop into the bar which sees a lot of traffic)
- Focus your werewolf's rage into productive things away from anyone else--savagely go *here*, scavenge, smell, tunnel, and don't let them howl (pack howl is fine) because then they'll run back to where they started to howl there too, which isn't always an issue, but if you were, say, keeping them around the lake and then they run back to the bar ... yeah
Description says Enhanced Smell allows werewolves to smell emotions, but i can't find the option to do it. I was looking for an option similar to alien's "Emphatize" or Servo's "Scan for emotions" on the social menu. Maybe i'm looking on the wrong place?
Ooh I may have an answer for you Darchy. I think this relates to the scent they give off, and the general smell interaction will reveal this. For example I found that flirty sims often gave off a pink scent, and angry sims a red scent. So I think this is what the description was pointing to.
I cant wait to play this game pack, my only real gripe is that the wolves look too cutesy and have no tails.
IT WOULD BE DOPE IF WE HAD A HYBRID ABILITY BLENDING WOLF AND VAMP
