A Did You Know Thread On Werewolves

Your sim can moonbathe. You click on the sim your playing and it's an option and this can happen on all moon phases even new moon.

There is not an option for them to moonbathe with other sims even in a group. You have to tell the other sim to moonbathe.

Does moonbathing do anything to the sim?

They get a +2 focused buff for 4 hours.

It gives a moodlet that depends on the phase of the moon. Aliens however will always get a happy moodlet.

This discussion lists all the effects of moon phases and moonbathing (as it came with the patch, werewolves excluded). I'll quote the list here:

Any idea how long the cooldown is? My sim used it once and then like a day later, it was still...cooling down.

No idea, havent paid attention tbh, there also seems to be a drink thats said to have a calming effect, I only saw it in debug but I dont know how to learn the receipt yet.

Some info about dormant werewolves.

Cheating this trait on allows the sim to still become another occult (spellcaster, vampire etc).

If they are another occult and you send them swimming in Lake Lunvik during full moon, they'll turn into a werewolf.

So a hybrid this way is possible. Though it is very very glitchy.

Edit: Here's how the needs panel of a spellcaster and werewolf hybrid looks like:

Hovering over the fury bubble on the top will bring up spellcaster charge. Plus it seems like spellcaster perks become unavailable.

Isn't helpful or whatever but for anyone else playing Souls games this must give a chuckle.

Werewolves has a very clear reference to Dark Souls 2.

In Dark Souls 2 there's a line which repeats every darn time you level up.
"Bearer of the curse.
Seek souls. Larger, more powerful souls.
Seek the king, that is the only way.
Lest this land swallow you whole... As it has so many others."

Everyone (me included) keeps skipping it so it then spells out like:
"Bearer. Seek. Seek. Lest."

I NEVER would have thought that a game like TS4 would have a reference to Dark Souls :D.

Yes, that I have noticed too. I should go ahead and make a list at one point which occult gives off which color smell.
Edit. Here's the list:

Normal sim - Yellow
Alien - Purple
Vampire - Black and purple
Mermaids - Blue
Spellcasters - Rainbow
Werewolves - Brownish red
Servos and skeletons - None

@EgonVM The colors also might have to do with relationships. Maybe. In this pic, the dogs have two different colors. At the time, Bigby was close friends with the dog on the right (greenish) and companions with the one on the left (yellowish). Lux, who is a werewolf and Bigby's Fated Mate, has a red-orange color. Bigby was in a rage and so glowed red.

And a fox that Bigby was close friends with glowed light green too.

...Playful moods can drop the fury meter a little, enough to counter the "ambient" fury gain.

@DaWaterRat One of my sims has the Excitable Temperament and playfulness increases his fury! He also has the Frisky one and that also increases fury. So methods of lowering fury depend on temperaments too. I generally rely on the Somber Howl and Will to Resist abilities. And as you say, some enjoyable activities not affected by temperaments help.

Did anyone figure out the fastest way to gain werewolf XP?
I had to click about 3000 times on my sim to perform various activities so he could max out all abilities. In comparison, vampires only need a few clicks as they have a way of passively gaining XP, as well as spellcasters, who were around 250 clicks, after which they had to experiment with cauldron or practice magic indefinitely by themselves.
