Sim stuck in werewolf form

I recently had my sim bitten and transformed into a werewolf and they are permanently stuck in that form. It has gotten to the point were a pop up keeps happening saying they are transforming even though they are already transformed. (Within a span of 6minutes I got the pop up 5 times saying they transformed even though the full moon isn't around) Trying to regain conscious does not help also.

I have tried to remove the werewolf part of the sim but they instead turn into this mix of human and werewolf form. Went out of cas but the sim still acts like a werewolf by howling and all.

Didn't save and now back to square one of them constantly being stuck as a wolf.  

I do play with mods and cc but I have removed them and tried again but that didnt help as well.

  • Did you test a new werewolf after removing your mods/cc ? To be sure, you do have the transform master ability ?

    Yes, I have tried it with another sim and did the exact same thing with them. Turned them into a werewolf by having someone bite them.

    They have the ability to try and regain conscience, but not the mastery. But its been over an entire sims day and they havent changed, unless it can take over an entire sims day to turn back? Sorry I only got the pack a month ago so I am not 100% in my knowledge of this pack

    There should be a rampaging moodlet with a timer. When the timer runs out, your sim turns back.

    this older report could be what you are seeing: [W] NPC Werewolves never transform/don't achieve Transform Mastery | EA Forums - 11652138 although that was for NPCs and the other way round (never transforming not never switching out of it.

    You did turn yours while you were actively playing them ?

    Ok so I had a look at how long the rampage should be for my werewolf which was 3hours, but it never went down. It has been another full day in my game and nothing has change. Instead at every hour a pop up says the sim is transforming even though they are already transformed. 

    Any other suggestions??

    You mentioned trying to remove the werewolf occult setting on this sim. Was that the part you didn’t save, or was the moodlet at 3 hours to go when the werewolf setting was removed, at which point it got stuck?

    At first the sim was an NPC and I added them to my family after curse biting them and for like 3 days straight their fury bar was on max but not transforming. After 3 days the sim turned into a werewolf and is now literally stuck in that form. The rampage moodlet is stuck on 3 hours and after the 3 hours (even though they are already in werewolf form rampaging) I get a pop up saying they are tranforming once again.

    I had saved the sim in my gallery before being turned into a werewolf and swapped the two. Did the same thing with curse biting them and etc, but its still happening and I am not too sure what the problem is. The save file is fairly new too, only on the second generation so I dont think that is the problem too.

    I had a read of what threads you sent in and I dont think they are exactly the same problem as me, but thank you for showing these to me.

    Can you share the sim on the gallery and let us know your username and the household name for testing?

  • Removing Werewolf issues is tough as there are multiple things to worry about. They have the trait, a hidden buff, a hidden "motive" for fury, a couple hidden "motives" for other stuff.

    The best fix for this is to cure them and then make them a werewolf again. Otherwise you have to figure out which mix of hidden things is busted and carefully remove/modify them using a mod like Sim Info Manager- but trust me, it's MUCH easier to simply cure them and then re-wolfify them. If you have an earlier save before trying to alter them, try to do that, but it may not be possible if they're "rampaging forever".

    Download UI Cheats and Sim Info Manager (by Lumpinou). Use UI cheats to right-click any relevant werewolf moodlets and remove them. Then right click the werewolf fury bar and set it to 0. Then use Sim Info Manager -> Modify -> And check their moodlets/buffs and "Commodities" and "Statistics" for anything werewolf related that sounds relevant- like the Fury statistic, or the Rampage buff. Use Sim Info Manager to remove those or set them to their lowest value. If and when you get them out of trouble, I still recommend undoing their werewolf-ness (USING THE IN-GAME POTION TO DO SO) to ENSURE everything has been removed, as the cure will remove everything that needs removing.

    Essentially what happened here is at some point something was supposed to "finish" and it didn't- and now the game doesn't know it needs to end, because nothing else that's happening demands at the end of it "finish that thing from before". It's more complicated than that but it's a simpler explanation.
