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.
