Who Can Turn You Into a Werewolf in The Sims 4?

In The Sims 4: Werewolves Game Pack, there are a few distinct ways a Sim can contract lycanthropy and join the ranks of the furry and ferocious. Ultimately, you can become a werewolf by being bitten by another werewolf who possesses the “Cursed Bite” ability. This can be another player-controlled werewolf Sim or certain NPC werewolves within the game world. You can also become a werewolf by contracting Werebies after an encounter with Greg. Let’s delve deeper into these methods and explore the nuances of each.

Methods of Transformation

The Cursed Bite: A Gift (or Curse) From Another Werewolf

The most direct and controllable way to become a werewolf is through the “Cursed Bite” interaction. This interaction isn’t available to all werewolves right off the bat.

• Relationship Requirements: The werewolf Sim offering the bite must have a high relationship with the Sim they intend to turn. Think of it as a major relationship milestone.
• Unlocking the Ability: The werewolf must unlock the “Curse Bearer” ability within the Werewolf Skill tree. This requires investing Ability Points earned through werewolf activities.
• The Interaction: Once these conditions are met, the “Ask for Cursed Bite” interaction will appear under the “Friendly” social category. Upon use, the werewolf will dramatically bite the Sim, initiating the transformation process.

Greg: The Lone Wolf and the Werebies Virus

Greg (formally Greggorius Lunvik) is a unique and powerful, often hostile, werewolf residing in Moonwood Mill. He doesn’t offer cursed bites willingly. Instead, encountering Greg can lead to a more perilous transformation route.

• The Encounter: Adventurous Sims can seek out Greg near his cabin. Be warned, he is extremely powerful and will attack on sight.
• Contracting Werebies: A human Sim will almost certainly lose in a fight with Greg. Losing this fight results in contracting “Werebies,” a werewolf virus.
• The Countdown: Once infected, a two-day (in-game time) countdown begins. If a cure isn’t administered, the Sim will transform into a werewolf.
• Finding a Cure: Visit the Grimtooth Bar and Bunker in Moonwood Mill and ask the bartender for the ‘Werebies Remedy’ to avoid becoming a werewolf.

Being Born a Werewolf

Finally, your Sim can be born a werewolf.

• Genetics: If both parents are werewolves, the child will automatically be a werewolf. If only one parent is a werewolf, there is a chance the child will inherit the trait.
• Delayed Transformation: Children born as werewolves will not transform into their werewolf form until they reach their teen years.

Navigating the Transformation

Regardless of how your Sim becomes a werewolf, the experience will be transformative. Here’s what to expect:

• The First Transformation: The first transformation is often involuntary and triggered by Fury. It can be a chaotic and disorienting experience.
• Managing Fury: Learning to manage Fury is crucial for controlling transformations and maintaining a semblance of normal life.
• Exploring Werewolf Abilities: As your werewolf Sim gains experience, they can unlock new abilities and customize their werewolf form.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can any Sim ask for the Cursed Bite?

No, only Sims with a high relationship with a werewolf Sim who has unlocked the “Curse Bearer” ability can ask for the “Cursed Bite.”

2. Can my Sim die from Werebies?

No, your Sim will not die from Werebies. If left untreated, they will transform into a werewolf.

3. Can children get Werebies?

No, children cannot contract Werebies or be bitten by a werewolf until they reach their teen years. However, they can be born werewolves.

4. How do I increase my relationship with a werewolf to get the Cursed Bite?

Use friendly interactions, engage in activities they enjoy (like howling or sparring), and spend time with them regularly. Gifting them rare collectibles or treats can also help.

5. Where can I find Greg in Moonwood Mill?

Greg usually roams around the outskirts of Moonwood Mill, particularly near his shack across the lake from Howling Point. Be careful when approaching, as he is typically hostile.

6. What happens if I don’t cure Werebies in time?

If you don’t administer the Werebies Remedy within two in-game days, your Sim will transform into a werewolf.

7. Can aliens, vampires, or other occult Sims become werewolves?

Sims who already possess a permanent occult life state (i.e., vampire, mermaid, ghost, Servo robot, spellcaster, or alien) can’t become a werewolf without first renouncing their old supernatural affiliation and all its associated powers.

8. How do I renounce my occult status?

To renounce your occult status as a vampire you can acquire the “Potion of Reconfiguration” for 2,500 satisfaction points. Once drunk, the Sim will become human again. Spellcasters can perform a ritual to give up their powers.

9. Can my werewolf Sim have children with a human Sim?

Yes, werewolf Sims can have children with human Sims. The offspring have a chance of inheriting the werewolf trait.

10. How do I control my werewolf’s transformations?

Managing Fury is key. Avoid activities that generate Fury, such as being around non-werewolf Sims or engaging in aggressive interactions, especially when Needs are low. Unlock abilities that help manage Fury, such as “Lunar Epiphany”.

11. What are the benefits of being a werewolf?

Werewolves gain access to unique abilities, increased physical strength and speed, enhanced senses, and the ability to form strong pack bonds.

12. Where can I learn more about werewolf lore in The Sims 4?

Explore Moonwood Mill, read books in the library, and interact with other werewolves to learn more about their history and culture.

13. What are Pack Values and how do they affect gameplay?

14. Can my werewolf Sim find a Fated Mate?

Yes, werewolf Sims can find Fated Mates – another werewolf with whom they share an incredibly strong connection. Human Sims do not get Fated Mates. To find a Fated Mate, you’ll need to endure at least one full moon rampage before flirting with every werewolf.

While The Sims 4 is primarily an entertainment product, it offers opportunities for learning about social dynamics, relationships, resource management, and creative expression. Games like the Sims can also enhance problem solving skills.
