Look, i know it has been a lot of time since we got Vampires and people are constantly asking for witches but a few hours ago i was in a "wolf-y mood" so i thought "Why not post my ideas for a werewolves GP i had like 4 months ago here and see how people react?". It would be great to see EAxis do all of these ideas if they make a Game Pack exclusive to werewolves but i don't think they are going to do even half of this list as some of these ideas are inspired from Teen Wolf, some from The Sims 3 supernatural and finally some from the way Vampires were done in their GP. The other ideas were cooked up in my mind tho. A werewolf fan can dream!I'll send my huge list of ideas in parts to avoid people accidentally quoting the whole list and causing wasted space.

Create a Sim changesJust like vampires and Aliens, Werewolves can be made in CAS with two forms: The Human form and the werewolf form (lets call that form "The Lycan Form" here.) You can think of it like the Dark form for vampiresWhen you create the Lycan form, the face of the new form will be based of the face of the human form with some changes (including pointy ears and semi-flattened nose) with a random facial hairIf you want, you can disable the Default preset and add muzzle to your werewolf's Lycan form. Pointy Ears will always be there tho.In Lycan form, Werewolves either only have yellow/blue/red eye color based on their rank or have their Lycan eye color applied to their base eye color in some way (mixing the two colors together? "colored tattoos" applied to their eyes? with the ability for us to change them?)New Facial Hairs and Hair models are available for sims in both human form and Lycan form (talking about the ones from TS3: Supernatural)Body Hair: of course a werewolf is not a proper werewolf without a proper body hair. (If it isn't introduced to the game prior to the pack it should come to the base game in a free update.)There will be new Clothes consisting of Leather jackets, Victorian-Themed Suits and casually themed clothes(which all have a ripped/torn apart form)

Werewolf Lore skill:Another lore skill that can be increased by researching werewolf knowledge from the web, reading old and expensive books and/or talking about talking about werewolves with sims who have a higher werewolf lore skill. You can also ask high-ranked werewolves for information which increases the skill.Bonus points if trying to increase the Skill by searching the web or reading from old books multiple times triggers a "Are any of these actually real?" Focused moodlet that doesn't allow you to increase the skill using the mentioned means while its there.While researching the skill, quotes and tips will pop up giving information about werewolves. Bonus points if they differ based on how you are increasing the skill. (different texts giving the same information)Increasing this skill allows you to discover werewolves quicker when just casually talking to them.Bonus points if increasing the Werewolf lore skill unlocks new recipes for meaty foods that when eaten give an energized moodlet to the eater.Increasing this skill allows you to buy wolfsbane seeds using the computer (yeah yeah wolfsbane was introduced in vampires. we might as well use mistletoe instead of wolfsbane every time it is mentioned here but why did EAxis add wolfsbane in Vampires GP to begin with?)Reaching level 10 of the skill unlocks a martial trick to force-transform werewolves into their Lycan form. Its basically like tapping multiple spots of the targets body so fast that the target's subconscious "panics". Force transforming the target in defense. Also reaching level 10 of the skill will give you the wolf howl sound as a file in your smartphone that you can "Play loudly" whenever you want (as a little quirky bonus for simmers)

Lunar Cycle:Lunar cycle will be added to the game, sims can look up the current moon phase using their phones or they can watch the Weather Channel and/or the player can check the calender (if Seasons is installed)Bonus points if The Lunar Cycle is added in the pre-patch to the base game.In full moon "Weak" werewolves force-transform and all werewolves get a +1 Happy moodlet (Bonus points if its +1 Energized instead)In new moon werewolves won't be able to use some of their powers (such as supernatural speed) and will get a +1 Tense moodletBonus points if Lunar eclipses can happen once or twice a year, forcing werewolves to transform into their human form and they lose all of their powers during the eclipseAlso Bonus points If Super moons can happen. Force transforming all werewolves to their Lycan form and giving them a +3 Energized (or +3 Tense depending on various factors like werewolf lore skill and what they were doing before transforming)And also bonus points if Blood moons can happen. Making the enviorment have a red tint and giving all werewolves a +4 Angry moodlet (+3 if they have the "Controller of the beast within" Power, +1 If they have the "Master of Transformation" Power). Werewolves who don't have any Powers relating to shapeshifting can autonomously slap sims and get in fights with them.

Werewolves in society: Autonomous actions and Social InteractionsWerewolves usually go around only in their human form and try to hide their secret from everyone, except their best friends, their supernatural friends and their lovers.Sims can see if someone is a werewolf by using werewolf lore skill tricks (scaring them with fake wolfsbane, using the martial trick to force-transform them, etc) or simply just by "Ask for deep secrets" interactionBonus points if discovering a werewolf's true identity gives a Confident "I knew it!" moodlet to the discoverer.Most sims get a +2 Tense moodlet if an unfriendly werewolf walks around them in Lycan form. Bonus points if sims with Werewolf Lore skill and the Geek trait get a Focused "I have to experiment on that werewolf over there" moodletSims that have wolf-phobia can place wolfsbane around their house to prevent Werewolves from autonomously appearing into the lot.When a sim discovers a werewolf's true identity, new interactions are unlocked such as "Ask to turn", "Ask to turn sim...", "Pay to turn sim...", "Ask about life as a wolf", "Debate about pros and cons of being a werewolf", "Ask to transform", "Can you actually become a Wolf?", "Ask about opinion about other occults" etcThere are new social interactions for werewolves (mostly the ones that are introduced in TS3: Supernatural) such as "Complain about being a werewolf", "Tell a joke about shedding", "Growl at", "Ask for food", "Complain about always being hungry", "Brag about Wolf energy" etcBonus points if the pack adds the option to have "Werewolf break-ins" like what is included with Vampires GP. on the nights this happens a random werewolf comes to your house, picklocks the door's lock with their claws and then goes at the refrigerator to eat stuff and will take every food that contains meat from there before leaving. It should only happen when all sims are sleeping tho.Bonus points if werewolves have a chance of autonomously asking their best friends and/or sims they are in love with to turn them into Werewolves (or just attack their enemies trying to turn them because why not) when in Lycan formAll Werewolves should Autonomously turn into their Lycan form when having an Intense Emotion unless they have perks and weaknesses that i'm going to talk about Below. Bonus points if they get appropriate moodlets for each Emotion they transform while in. (Embarrassed for Flirty, Inspired and Confident, Angry for Angry, Happy and Focused, Energized for Energized, and Uncomfortable for Fine)"Rub belly", "Sniff inappropriately", "Ask to play fetch" and "Cutely Bark at" Interactions should be available to every werewolf. But if they do them to anyone they don't have a high relationship with (or werewolves that have the "Puppy Tendencies" Weakness) gives them a +1 Embarrassed moodlet. (+2 if they did the interaction with another werewolf who doesn't have the "Puppy Tendencies" Weakness)A werewolf should be able to instantly Recognize other Stranger werewolves passing by outside or in a room by using the "Smell the air with wolf-tier senses" interaction.

Becoming a Werewolf:Sims can "Ask for bite" or "Ask for cursed Scratches" from werewolves in their Lycan form. if the request is accepted, the werewolf will bite the sim's hand or scratch it with claws respectively (giving the target sim a +15 Uncomfortable Moodlet) then they will stick a big plaster to the sim's hand to prevent it from bleedingWerewolves in Lycan form can also "Give the werewolf curse" to people by fighting them or "Ask to turn"If successful, the target will turn into a werewolf in two days (or in next full moon)but if not, the sim will puke and get sick for a whileSims can't be turned into werewolves when pregnant, sick or younger than teenagersNew babies have a 50% chance of becoming a werewolf if one of the parents is a werewolf or a 100% chance if both parents are werewolves

With the way we can shape Sims faces, I hope we can make them seem more like wolf people and not just hairy Sims. I want scary werewolves like scary vampires

Honestly, I want to be able to give my sims a straight-up muzzle in werewolf form, no more of that flat-faced wolfman junk. I also want the option for tails, I want their eyes to be any color I want (even if it's the same color as in their human form) in their other form instead of being arbitrarily restricted, I want fur-textured skin tones that match the full spectrum of available hair colors, I want a full-wolf transformation, I want shapeshifting to be a multi-tiered ability on the skill tree that includes the ability to do partial transformations (change ears, grow tail, grow claws, change eyes, etc.), I want collars, more edgy/wild hairstyles and clothes (especially for guys, including mullets and rat-tails), I want to be able to give them unusually long/sharp canine teeth in human form, I want a charm ability, I want Steak Tartar and Raw Meat as available meal options, and I want them to chew/maul furniture instead of "clawing" or "scratching" it like a freakin' house cat. I also want emotional transformations as an available weakness, special mischief interactions in full wolf form, their hunger bar to fill more slowly when eating in order to simulate having an increased appetite/higher metabolism, and pentagrams in the Tatoos menu in multiple styles and for multiple parts of the body.

About eyes, Would you be interested if they had a sort of "Eye Tattoo"? like you still have to deal with the arbitrarily determined eye color but it won't change the eye color fully and you can select which parts of the eye to be colored that way (if you know what i mean)

Love your other ideas tho ~~what do you think about my list?~~

I'm not too keen on the idea of eye tattoos. An overlay for the eyes just doesn't sound quite as good to me as being able to just pick the right color, whether from swatches or a color wheel. In my own books, werewolves have eye colors based entirely on their eye color in human form, so not being able to mimic that exactly when remaking my characters in-game would not be ideal, especially if the overlay changes color with their rank/power level. I'm just a big stickler for morphic resonance in my shapeshifters.

I think you have a lot of great ideas, though. The "Puppy Tendencies" weakness would definitely be a perfect fit for one of my characters, who has a habit of playing fetch with himself, and another one of my characters actually does use his claws to pick locks. Though, along with the option for a pack to engage in straight-up banditry, simple mischief, treasure hunting, and heroics should also be available (I've got a pack who are basically heroic adventurers). Also, instead of two separate skills for sure-fire turning and turning with a failure chance, it would probably be more efficient for it to be a tiered ability. I do like most of your ideas, though. Having torn versions of all the clothes added in a werewolf pack would make me extremely happy, since all of the torn clothes in TS3 are one-offs.

Happy? Energized I can understand. Omegas, and Betas out of practice, will be subject to force transformations yes, but that build up from the First Quarter to Full Moon, a werewolf's Emotional state is a minefield. It is an internal battle for an inexperienced werewolf the Human Consciousness fights to remain while the Wolf wants control.

Perhaps Keeping sims in emotional check may help keeping their shift under control
Thinking Happy thoughts, being Focused, and remaining Confident may allow your Beta to shift at will.

But triggers like Anxiety(Tense), Passion, Anger, Depression(Sadness), sim would lose control.

I don't think simply turning into a werewolf should make the sim happy. energized yes, but unless they are a Lycan fan and it excites them, or is the initial celebratory rite of passage of a young, born werewolf is finally experiencing their first shift, then yeah be happy! but it shouldn't be a thing that happens every shift.
