How to Become a Werewolf

There are three main ways to gain lycanthropy.

Method	How it works
Ask for the Cursed Bite	Befriend an existing werewolf with the Cursed Bite ability. When the bite is given, your Sim will experience painful transformation over a few hours.
Werebies (infection)	Visit Moonwood Mill’s underground tunnels or brawl with infected werewolves; occasionally you’ll contract Werebies. This can be cured at the bar before full transformation.
Born a Werewolf	Children of werewolf parents may inherit the trait and transform on becoming a Teen.

To remove the curse, drink the Wolf-B-Gone Cure potion crafted with Lunar Epiphany knowledge.

---

Stages of Transformation

Stage	Description
Cursed Sim	Infection or bite received; random moodlets, growing fury.
New Werewolf	Gains basic powers and starts earning ability points.
Experienced Werewolf	Mid-tier abilities unlocked; fury builds faster.
Prime Werewolf	Most abilities accessible; can mentor others.
Apex Werewolf	Full mastery of the curse; optional cure available.

---

Core Needs and Fury

Werewolves have the same motives as normal Sims, but Fury replaces part of their emotional control. It builds naturally over time and through triggers called Temperaments.

Factor	Increases Fury
Full Moon	Rapid increase; transforms automatically
Negative emotions	Tense, Angry, Embarrassed
Ignoring primal needs	Not running, howling, or marking territory
Temperaments	Unique traits gained randomly or through gameplay

When Fury maxes out, your Sim will rampage, losing player control until it subsides.

---

Werewolf Abilities

Abilities are purchased with points earned through werewolf activities. Each ability has a practical or social use.

Tier	Examples of Unlocks
Tier 1	Scavenger (dig collectibles), Territory Marking, Howl, Wolf Nap
Tier 2	Pack Howl, Somber Howl (reduce Fury), Enhanced Smell, Tunnel Travel
Tier 3	Night Vision, Super Speed, Hunter’s Instinct, Curse Bearer
Tier 4	Lunar Howl (change temperaments), Immortal Wolf, Vicious Howl
Tier 5	Apex powers: Alpha dominance, Transformation mastery, Resistance to rampage

---

Temperaments

Each werewolf has between 3 and 5 temperaments, which affect how quickly Fury rises and how your wolf behaves.

Example Temperament	Effect
Full Moon Frenzy	Fury builds extremely fast during full moons.
Prideful	Feels angry if scolded or dismissed.
Night Wolf	Fury decreases when awake at night.
Wracked with Guilt	Feels sad after rampages.
Survival Instincts	Less fury gain from negative emotions.

Temperaments can be reshuffled by using the Lunar Howl ability.

---

Packs and Social Structure

Moonwood Mill has two main werewolf packs. Joining one defines your Sim’s identity and unlocks unique abilities.

Pack	Focus	Leader	Benefits
The Wildfangs	Freedom, rebellion, self-expression	Rory Oaklow	Training, scavenging bonuses
The Moonwood Collective	Tradition, control, community	Kristopher Volkov	Relationship gains, slower fury, special socials

Earn trust through sparring, contributing to pack resources, and following the pack’s values.

---

The Lunar Cycle

The full moon heavily influences werewolf gameplay. It increases Fury and triggers automatic transformations. Sims can observe moon phases on the calendar, and build relationships or craft potions based on lunar alignment.

Certain activities (like scavenging for moonpetals) only appear at night under the full moon.

---

Cross-Pack Integration

Pack	Effect
Realm of Magic	Cannot hybridise, but Spellcaster enemies make strong duelling targets.
Vampires	Adds rival dynamics and cross-pack storytelling potential.
Seasons	Fury interacts with weather moodlets; rain may reduce rampage frequency.
Get to Work	Alien abductions and lunar phases make storytelling richer.
Eco Lifestyle	Scavenged parts can be recycled or fabricated.
