I'd say that the biggest problem with Werewolves is that if you have werewolves, you need lunar cycles, right?
Depends on the folklore they use, but for the most familiar strains of European folklore, yes. I'm pretty sure that southwestern Native American folklore doesn't require a moon, and I want to say the same is true for much of Asian folklore on the subject as well. And I'm pretty sure there are European stories that aren't tied to the moon either, but I can't place them in my head (Other than the Greek origin of the term.)
The idea of "turned" werewolves being tied to the moon but "born" werewolves not is a relatively recent development. Of course, the idea of Werewolf bloodlines outside of a cursed family is also a relatively recent development, along with werewolves not being evil/preying on humans and the bulk of Werewolf v. Vampire conflict (at least from what I can recall.)
But they could probably add moon phases, especially now that we have the calendar, though I doubt it would be 27-29 day cycles. Probably 6-8 day cycles (7 would make the most sense, but be kinda boring because then the same phase of the moon would fall on the same day each week.)
