Note that pregnant Werewolf Sims are unable to savage. Also, if a Werewolf has a custom skintone when in normal-Sim form, they usually won't get the hairy Werewolf skin at night. This is a glitch.▼

===Summoning The Leader of The Pack===
Players finding it difficult to attract the leader of the pack to their lot by normal means (additional trees, bushes), and who wish to begin the path to becoming a werewolf, can use [[testingcheatsenabled]] to summon the wolf.
After <code>boolprop testingcheatsenabled</code> is set to <code>true</code>,

Line 48 ⟶ 43:
During the day, werewolves appear as normal [[Sim]]s, albeit with very [[Dog|canine]]-like personalities. This change in personality may be attributed to a change in brain chemistry, and/or an overbalance of certain hormones. Genetically, the werewolf's personality remains the way it was before they were transformed.
During the night, the Sim in question becomes, in essence, an anthropomorphic wolf. Their howl ability causes a drop in the [[bladder]] need of [[Life state|non-werewolves]], which in werewolves is possibly a naturally developed equivalent of the '''[[Wikipedia:Brown note|
Werewolves cannot pass the condition onto children they may have, unless the child is a teen or older. As evidenced by the increase in [[Body]] skill, werewolves seemingly accumulate vast amounts of practical knowledge on the workings of the body seemingly only from transforming back and forth, enabling them to learn how to fight, or to do feats such as skipping, doing [[yoga]], or practicing [[Tai Chi]] effectively, knowledge possibly from means of telepathy, which suggest that it is potentially extracted from a hive mind
This is possibly unlikely, as if this was true, the werewolf would accumulate other skills other than Body skills. Strangely, werewolves do not build [[Fitness (hobby)|muscle mass]] as would be expected by the metabolic breakdown during transformation and instead accumulate body skill.
Male werewolves will gain a new "ruffled" hairstyle after they transform, while females will keep their original hairstyle. In this case it cannot be changed back until the werewolf reverts to human form. If the player attempts to change the Sim's appearance in front of a mirror, the Sim will say there is too much hair.▼

=== Technical information ===▼
The effect of werewolves are created cosmetically with 5 separate opaque overlays, unique to each skintone.<ref name="skintone">The hair on the face is added in each skintone, not as an independent cosmetic feature. Normal and Alien skintones have these, but the Zombie skintone doesn't.</ref> The skin tone of the Sim determines the overlay used by the game. The lighter the skin tone, the lighter the orange that can be seen on the werewolf where hair isn't present. Naturally, this has created a problem for custom skin tones, which was solved with a modification. The alien skin tone, even if replaced by a default replacement, turns the skin visible on the alien werewolf into a sharp green, rather than an orange, and the face will appear green. The alien eyes are replaced with a special 'hybrid' of werewolf and alien, a yellow iris and black [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sclera sclera].{{confirm}}
These specifications cause many problems for the modding community or anyone wishing to modify the characteristics of a werewolf. A vampire, for example, only contains one texture which is partially transparent, which is not used as expected for a werewolf. It is, however, possible to use transparency to allow skin to show through in modding.

==The Sims 3: Supernatural==

Werewolves were reintroduced in ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]]'', listed as one of the five supernatural types in the pack. They are a very powerful and social supernatural and maintain their basic needs just like Sims. They have a hidden skill known as ''Lycanthropy''.
Line 73:
===Abilities===
Beginning as a Young Adult and ending as an Adult, a werewolf's [[lifespan]] is 1.5 times as long as a normal Sim's. Werewolves gain [[Athletic (skill)|Athletic]] skill faster than other Sims, and do not tire as quickly. They
They can hunt collectibles easier and faster. Their howls can be heard from afar, especially after they transform during a full moon, but a howl may vary from failed to loud.
Line 85:
;Lunar Cycle
Werewolves react to the lunar cycle, a feature implemented in the same pack. During a full moon, Sims who possess werewolf powers will transform into werewolves, which can frighten nearby Sims. Once transformed, they will get a positive moodlet ''Lunacy'' with

===Interactions===
;To Sims and pets
Werewolves can frighten Sims or build negative relationships with them by sniffing them
If a werewolf has the [[Lifetime reward#Supernatural|Alpha Wolf]] lifetime reward, there is a new interaction which they can use ''Terrorizing Howl''. The Alpha Wolf reward also boosts the Cursed Bite interaction; if a werewolf Sim attempts a bite on another Sim, it will never fail after purchasing the Alpha Wolf reward.
Line 99:
Sims (both normal and supernatural) can ''Play Fetch & Rub Belly'' at werewolves. This interaction can increase their relationships and their social and fun motives.
;To other werewolves
A werewolf can recruit other werewolves to form packs, but they must have a good relationship with them. The werewolves do not need to be in the same household to form a pack. A werewolf can also be recruited by another werewolf to join another pack. They can also ''Practice fighting'', which possibly builds their lycanthropy skill and increases their relationship unlike the normal Fight interaction.
Once a sizable pack has been constructed, a single werewolf will be appointed the position of "alpha wolf", the respective leader of the pack. It is unknown if this position bears any special abilities. A werewolf pack can make hunting for collectibles both easier and faster.
;To self
In their natural form, werewolves can ''Howl at the Moon'' but only during night-time. They can also ''Hunt Solo'' any time, and usually they will get one or more collectibles. They can destroy certain furniture (e.g.: sofas) by ''Scratching
When Sims are in their natural form, they seem to lose their table manners. As a plate of food is on a table, a werewolf will be in a squatting position and "[http://www.thefreedictionary.com/wolf+down wolf down]" the food in a hurried manner. Werewolves also can eat raw meat without the need to cook it.
They will also autonomously rummage through trash in their natural form unless they have the [[Proper]] and/or [[Neat (The Sims 3)|Neat]] traits.

*Werewolves do not need to be hairy.
*Werewolf eyes are golden/yellow by default, but the color of werewolf eyes can be changed.
*When a werewolf gets hungry,
*Werewolves in their natural form do not sleep very well, even in expensive beds which cause the sleep meter only to go up as fast as it comes down. Therefore, it is wise to have a werewolf sleep in human form to minimize sleeping time.
*A female werewolf cannot become pregnant while in her werewolf form. Additionally, she cannot transform into her werewolf form during pregnancy, even in the early stages.
*There is a glitch in the game causing werewolves to receive a different look each time they transform - meaning that their appearance is randomly chosen on each transformation, whether the werewolf in question is a pre-made one, created in Create a Sim or with the Werewolf Curse. This may only occur after a Sim is edited after exiting CAS. There is no known fix for this glitch yet. Apparently, it is because of the Lunar Cycle, which was also causing problems with zombies.{{fact}}
*Werewolves appear with brown glow in the border in the relationship panel.

*Werewolves cannot age up while in Werewolf form, so make sure to transform them back to human Sim form on their birthday. They also cannot travel when transformed.
*Female werewolf Sims can have body hair in their human form. The same also goes for children.
*Rarely, if ever, do NPC werewolves turn back into human form once they have turned into their werewolf form. Because there is no limit to how long a werewolf can be in their werewolf form, townie werewolf population can easily dwell without the help of mods.
