How would werewolves deal with aging? Maybe that was mentioned but I just forgot about it.
I wouldn't want werewolves to have perfect immortality like vampires, but I'd personally love it if werewolves got about 25%-30% extra time in the Young Adult phase compared to normal sims (because animals tend to age better than humans in terms of their health and physical abilities...at least that's what I've noticed after 27 years of living with cats, where a cat that is the age equivalent of 70-year-old human will still be as spry and playful as a kitten, but a 70-year-old human will typically be like "I'd love to play basketball with you, but my knee's acting up again and my back hurts and the doctor said to take it easy because he says I've got a weak heart now...But, hey, I've got a jigsaw puzzle!"). In my own books, werewolves don't hit where humans are in their 40's until their late 60's-early 70's (because of this, my protagonist's uncle is in his early 50's, but is still more than able to keep up in battle with a bunch of young guys in their late teens and early 20's like he hasn't aged a day past 25...Falcon is an awesome guy).
I love the idea of the werewolf GP having a default pack where the alpha is a woman. After all, in some of the old tales, female werewolves are depicted as being even more fearsome and dangerous than the males. XD
What they could do is, While Sim is in wolf form, aging is off. and resumes when/if the sim shifts back into a human.
Or slow it down enough to where if your werewolf stayed in wolf form for the duration of a Human Sim's Life Span, would equal,
Human Sim Lifespan set to Normal = 81 Days,
81 days in Lycan/Wolf form = Child/Teen Life Stage, 13 days.
So I you were a Child in Lycan/Wolf for 81 sim days when your sim turns back, they will be a Teenager.
Teenagers Stays in Wolf Form for another 81 days, and shifts back into a human, your sim will be a young adult.
here is where it gets tricky, The Young Adult, and Adult Life stage are 24 days each.
81 days in wolf form = 10 days in Human form if a Young Adult does this,
2 x 81 days = 162 days of wolf form = 20 days in human form. And then an additional 20.25 days in wolf form and the sim will complete the Young adult stage, repeat that for Adult.
Elders = 10+ days. stay in wolf form for 81 days and you may be able to live a very long time, not always guaranteed.
And while they aren't immortal or have eternal youth, they can achieve powers to ensure survival.
Like: Nemean Fur - While in wolf form No Hunter can harm them. Also Fire Resistant.
As for Pack Mentality I was thinking
Omega, Beta, Alpha would correspond to their Power Tiers
So Vampires have:
Rank 1 - Vampire Fledgling
Rank 2 - Minor Vampire
Rank 3 - Prime Vampire
Rank 4 - Master Vampire
Rank 5 - Grand Master Vampire
For Werewolves:
Rank 1 - Omega
Rank 2 - Beta
Rank 3 - Alpha
Rank 4 - Delta
I thought about Delta because My werewolf Pack is also a family a Husband, Wife and three kids.
The Husband and Wife are both Alpha's, there was always a constant struggle for power, so when they start their new pack, they compromised and became Delta. Which is rare in the late 1800s.
and the reason I suggest Sims don't age while in wolf form, is because my werewolf Family will parish in a Siege, and their house will be raided by Hunters. the Mother and her youngest child will escape, before the mother dies, succumbing to her wounds, she keeps her legacy alive by passing it on to her 12 year old son, knowing the repercussions as soon as he turned 13 (The year Werewolf experience their first shift under the first full moon). So when the boy turns 13 his new found powers will overwhelm him, and fall to the wolf, unable to change back. and for 85 years, he will remain a wolf. and then it warps into this whole beauty and the Beast Tale, when his future wife, and mother of his 6 werewolf sons, helps him regain Humanity. Which takes a 15 years.
