Product: The Sims 4Platform:Steam-PCWhich language are you playing the game in? EnglishHow often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)What is your current game version number? 1.89.214.1030What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Werewolves, Get Famous, City Living, Island Living, Cat and Dogs, Toddler Stuff, Kids Stuff, Happy Haunts, Little Campers Kit, and Moonlight Chic KitSteps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Going through a successful rampage without scaring or threatening anyone.What happens when the bug occurs? My sim transforms into a werewolf, goes into a rampage, doesn’t scare anyone and turns back without the “Transformation Mastery” ability unlocking,What do you expect to see? The Hidden Ability unlocking.Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure The Dormant Abilities in the Werewolf Pack won’t unlock even though the requirements are completed. After I complete the requirements for “Transformation Mastery”, the ability won’t unlock and I can’t transform at will. Therefore, I am unable to enjoy my werewolf form without being on a rampage and it makes the pack less enjoyable, Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title, adjusted title

@5hmn6q7jualp Hi there. I had trouble too with unlocking this. I took them through several rampages locked in their room, but nothing happens. I have it figured out now though. When transformed, you need to click on them and select 'try to regain control. You need the skill 'the will to resist' in order for the option to appear. If successful, you will unlock Transformation Mastery automatically.

@crinrictYes, I had 2 werewolves in the same house, and locked them both up when they rampaged. Neither unlocked the ability. I even locked one guy outside the house and the other guy inside his room. Still nothing. But once I gave them both 'the will to resist' perk and had them regain control (both in their own locked rooms), successfully, transformation mastery immediately unlocked for both of them.

Hello. We no longer need saves for this issue. The team will be investigating. Thank you.

I had this or a related problem once. Most of my werewolves are able to unlock Transformation Mastery when they're alone. But there was one who failed four times in a row, even though he was the only sim on the lot and locked in an empty basement with no access (I teleported him in) during two of these attempts. All the failed tries were during full moon nights. Soon as my sim had a "normal" rampage, he unlocked Transformation Mastery easily.

Hi @ChelonianBlue , I could be wrong, but iirc my werewolves have not been able to unlock Transformation Mastery from full moon rampages.It might have to be a regular fury-based rampage (not driven by the full moon).

Hi,
I’ve been playing the werewolf game pack almost non stop since it came out. As I’ve gathered almost all of the other ‘perks’ and am at the top tier of being a werewolf. I just can’t seem to get the Werewolf Mastery to activate. I’ve constantly being smashing up my whole house to increase the fury. Been rampaging all day and night, staying indoors and away from all other sims. But it just won’t work 😢😭. Anyone have suggestions?

I had this issue too lol. I locked my werewolf in a room after he transformed, and all he did was scratch the bed up and mark his territory on the floor. When he transformed back into a human, I didn’t unlock the ability.

Even though it’s beyond annoying, I’m glad I’m not alone in this😅

@FreelanceWolf Hm, that's strange that you have to do this. Mine unlocked right away after the first transformation. No resist skill needed.

Have you guys tested with several werewolves to see if it's not working with all of them ?

Me Too'd this thread, I was also having this issue and the "Try to Regain Control" from the "The Will to Resist" perk got me the Transformation Mastery like the others reported. So a workaround, but definitely a bug.
