    Newly transformed werewolves will now transform with appropriate varieties in their occult form fur patterns, rather than just going with the all black all the time look

    Fixed in Patch 1.93.129/1.66

    If you're still experiencing this issue, please create a new thread.

@crinrict I have the same error, mine is mainly in CAS though, after saving. I just got time to play again a little. Very frustrating, you get your werewolf to look the way you like then save the character to your gallery and come back later to use the character to start a new game and the were form is just black, pure black.

The accepted solution above is not a solution, it is a workaround. Not a fix. Just a workaround. Not a solution. Yes it brings the form back, but. I paint my wolf again, because even though it brings it back it is not painted the way I had it, then save and, yep, same issue, pure black for the werewolf form.

No mods, mods not moved, not using mods. Tried repairing game, no go. Tried deleting localthumbcache, no go.

If this is not where I go to report the bug, please let me know where to report it and I will report it there as I can't really play with werewolves until this is resolved.

Thank you for any insight on this.

@Jroffee OP accepted the solution but this is the correct thread for black silhouette werewolves.

    @crinrict Thank you for the quick reply, and the clarification! I didn't know it was the OP that chose the accepted solution. I was a little surprised to see it as an accepted solution for the bug. I was looking at the post above mine, would it help if I put things in that format and reposted?

    Thank you again for your time and insight on this.

      @Jroffee You can but it's not necessary.

        Product: The Sims 4
        Platform:PC
        Which language are you playing the game in? English
        How often does the bug occur? Each time saving werewolf characters in CAS to gallery (personal library) then bringing them back to play.
        What is your current game version number? V. 1.189.214.1030
        What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Expansion Packs – All. Game Packs – All. Stuff Packs – All (except Toddler). Kits – Moonlight Chic, Décor to the max, Carnaval streetwear, Blooming Rooms, Industrial loft, Courtyard oasis, Country Kitchen, Throwback fit.
        Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Create a werewolf sim in CAS, use the save to gallery button on the upper right. Close Program and then start again, choose new game, once open and staring at default sim in CAS, open gallery (personal library) and replace default sim with sim saved. Werewolf form is pure black, all adjustments and colorings are gone.
        What happens when the bug occurs? Werewolf form in CAS is pure black, not colored and while it is this way unable to color or change it in any way (clothes options unavailable). Can disconnect werewolf and regular sim forms then click the dice button to randomize werewolf form. Can then see color on werewolf form, but not what was originally colored. Re-Color werewolf form as desired, save again to gallery (personal library) and repeat process to see werewolf form, again, pure black.
        What do you expect to see? Werewolf form of sim as saved and be able to play said sim.
        Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? No, specifically stayed away from, did not play game and did not use, install, or have installed, any mods in preparation for werewolf pack. No mods or custom content.
        Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Not sure. Only change I am aware of was a new delivery express.
        Have repaired game, and deleted localthumbcache. Workaround is to randomize werewolf form but it does not actually resolve the issue, only allows for playing or using until game is turned off. Issue returns when starting game again, then have to randomize and recolor again to continue using or to just play werewolf. Clicking the back button after randomizing returns werewolf to pure black as well.
        I thank you for your time and consideration on this issue and look forward to a resolution so that we can all continue enjoying one of your best packs. Thank you!
