How to Become a Werewolf in The Sims 4
How to Become a Werewolf in The Sims 4 Werewolves
To become a werewolf in The Sims 4, your Sim needs to get bitten by a werewolf or contract the werewolf curse through gameplay. This transforms your Sim into a werewolf with unique abilities, a rage system, and a full progression tree.
Werewolves were introduced in The Sims 4: Werewolves and offer one of the most chaotic and reactive occult playstyles, with transformations, pack systems, and powerful abilities.
Why Become a Werewolf?
Becoming a werewolf in The Sims 4 changes your gameplay completely, adding unpredictability and powerful mechanics.
- Unlock a full werewolf ability tree
- Gain access to pack systems and social structures
- Experience transformations tied to a rage meter
- Use powerful physical abilities and instincts
It is perfect if you want a more intense and reactive gameplay experience.
What Changes When You Become a Werewolf?
Once your Sim becomes a werewolf, several systems change:
- You gain a Fury (Rage) meter that builds over time
- Your Sim transforms automatically when Fury is full
- You unlock a beast form with a customisable appearance
- New needs and behaviours influence your Sim’s actions
This creates a more unpredictable and active playstyle compared to other occults.
Werewolf Abilities and Progression
Werewolves level up over time and unlock abilities such as:
- Enhanced senses for finding collectibles
- Super speed movement
- Intimidation and unique social interactions
- Hunting and scavenging abilities
As you gain abilities, you will also unlock temperaments, which can create challenges and drawbacks.
Method 1: Get Bitten by a Werewolf
The most common way to become a werewolf in The Sims 4 is by being bitten.
- Travel to Moonwood Mill
- Find a werewolf, such as Rory Oaklow or Lou Howell
- Build a relationship with them
- Ask for a Werewolf Bite
If they agree, your Sim will become infected and begin the transformation process.
Method 2: Get Infected Through Encounters
Your Sim can also become a werewolf without directly asking.
- Be attacked or bitten during a werewolf rampage
- Explore tunnels or areas in Moonwood Mill
This method is less reliable but can happen naturally during gameplay.
Step 3: Wait for the Transformation
After being bitten:
- Your Sim will gain the Werebies infection
- After some time, they will fully transform into a werewolf
This process happens automatically once the infection progresses.
How to Manage a Werewolf
Once transformed, you will need to manage your Sim’s Fury and behaviour.
- Keep an eye on the Fury meter
- Use abilities carefully to avoid losing control
- Find ways to calm your Sim before rampages
If Fury reaches maximum, your Sim will transform and act uncontrollably for a period of time.
Can You Turn Back into a Human?
If you want to turn your Sim back into a normal human, you’ll need to create and drink the Werewolf Cure. This isn’t available straight away and must be unlocked through gameplay.
Step 1: Increase Your Werewolf Rank
To unlock the cure recipe, your Sim needs to progress as a werewolf:
- Gain experience by using werewolf abilities, howling, and interacting with other werewolves
- Rank up through the werewolf levels
- Reach Adept rank to unlock the cure recipe
As you rank up, new abilities and recipes become available, including the cure.
Step 2: Unlock the Cure Recipe
Once you reach the required rank:
- Open the Werewolf panel
- Navigate to the abilities or crafting section
- Find the Werewolf Cure recipe
The recipe becomes available automatically once you meet the requirement.
Step 3: Gather the Ingredients
To create the cure, you’ll need a few specific items:
- Wolfsbane (found around Moonwood Mill)
- Moonpetal (another rare plant in the area)
- Astral Essence (gained from werewolf activities or interactions)
These ingredients are all tied to werewolf gameplay and exploration.
Step 4: Craft the Werewolf Cure
Once you have the ingredients:
- Use a bar or crafting station
- Select the Werewolf Cure from the recipe list
Your Sim will create the cure as a drinkable item.
Step 5: Drink the Cure
To complete the process:
- Click on the crafted cure in your inventory
- Select Drink
Your Sim will immediately lose their werewolf abilities and return to a normal human state.
Tip: Curing your Sim removes all werewolf progression, so make sure you’re ready before using it.
Can You Become a Werewolf in Create-a-Sim?
Yes, you can create a werewolf directly in Create-a-Sim by selecting the occult option. However, this skips the transformation process and discovery.
If you want the full experience, becoming a werewolf through gameplay is the intended method.
Summary
To become a werewolf in The Sims 4, get bitten or infected and wait for the transformation to complete. With a full progression system, powerful abilities, and a unique rage mechanic, werewolves offer one of the most dynamic and unpredictable gameplay experiences available.
