This is just me trying to come up with a story for my new Simwolf? Weresim? whatever ;)
What would she work with? Freelance programmer? Just odd jobs? Justifying a newcomer that still fits in is hard, but "only child in the town not born as a werewolf" Is also weird...
Werewolves in touch with their wolfish nature would probably be shy and family-oriented. They might want to stay at home and care for the cubs most of all? I can see them take on any well paying job that doesn't require too much social contact. Scientist or Gardener are probably out - one transformation at the wrong time and the lovingly raised flowers are in shreds with a very happy werewolf rolling in the remains.
Those descended from zoo wolves, where wolves had to form the artificial packs they are known for now (instead of the family units that wolves live in in the wild) most likely have a strong sense of hierarchy. They'd make good Military (leading into Astronaut perhaps) or Detective sims, ironically also low tier office workers (from Snowy Escape, I forgot what the office drone career is called).
That's assuming there's no fantasy racism in play that forces the weres to keep a low profile.
It's a moot point in my game, where established sims will transform. The most likely candidates are a teacher, a civic architect (who also has a seat in the city council), a detective and the retired Chief of Police (married to a top level judge).
I'm gonna play him from a toddler and he's gonna befriend my spellcaster, eventually falling in love but it's gonna be a veeery slow burn friends-to-lovers arc. He's gonna be an enormous redhead who gives dumb jock vibes but he's actually pretty smart, thinking of putting him in the education career. He needs to wear glasses but he only wears them to work. He'll definitely have the childish trait but I don't know about the others yet, depends on if there are traits that come with the pack and if I like them. Depending on how the system works between the chill wolves and the rebellious wolves I'm thinking of having him born into the chillwolves, eventually going through a rebellious phase and joining the bad guys before returning to the chillwolves.
I suppose thats the nice thing about werewolves...any random sim could be bitten by one! My sim of choice is going to be Knox Greenburg. I dont usually play him but he kinda fits as a werewolf I think. My current family is going to be a random spellcaster sim called Rosa I created who will live with knox and Paka a'Uha (plus the pitbull she adopted from Magnolia Park!). It will be an off the grid/simple living farm in Henford-on-Bagely. Rosa will run the farm and sell flowers, Paka will paint and run yoga classes and Knox is going to sell candles and juice from a farm stall...and run wild during the full moon!LOL
My story for my were-to-be Shea is that she has always loved the wolves that run around the woods near where she lives in Henford. She always had a kinship with them and felt there was maybe a little wolf blood in her. Now there's a new and totally different wolf pack in the area. They're nothing like the wolves she's used too. This pack speaks to her even more than the wolves she's known all her life. Their howls in the night resonate in her wolf blood. Now she feels that her destiny lies in joining this new pack.
Id have to find more about the pack to be sure but in initial idea was to make my werewolf sim a farmer. Maybe open a meat stall every once in a while. ? ?
Most likely I won't be making a werewolf unless I can think of a cool were from a cartoon or something. What I will be doing is have specific sims grab a tent, cooler, and portable shower and stay somewhere in the woods of the new world. It may be fun watching werewolves do their thing on a full moon? Also a sim will marry into the wolfpack or change into one.....Can't wait to see how it all plays out in my game!
The sim I have in mind is a scientist--but he's the type to have discovered aliens on Sixam and such so I could see him exploring this new town, befriending the native townfolk and getting bit by Greg or whomever, haha.
Edit to say his wife is a spellcaster and rising actress!
I already had a do-it-myself wolf character in my game. He gets his own food through his bees and insects and plants, he fishes, and he makes his own vet treats. He lives outdoors in Granite Falls, and considers all his random human/alien friends to be his pack.
I'm sure there will be tons of werewolves in my save, but the ones I'm planning on starting out with are the Rowan sisters I recently created! Hope it's alright to post some pics of them ?? Their pack is called "Alleyway Strays" and they're a little group of ruffians residing in San Myshuno. Currently they're working their way up the criminal career!
From left to right we have Topaz, Onyx, and Citrine! Most folks might think Onyx is the Alpha (and technically she is), but really there is only one they all answer to: Andromeda.

And also here's a bonus screenie of the sisters at their favorite restaurant (which they never pay at), and Onyx needs to draw on placemats to stop her from being mean to everyone ?
Even though I'm going to have to get them all bitten in-game (or cheat), my headcanon is that they were actually all bitten when they were kids. Andromeda saved them from this giant wolf that attacked them, and they've pledged their allegiance to her ever since ? So, basically, they harass the people of San Myshuno and steal whatever they can so they can get lots of money and buy Andromeda literally whatever she wants. Most recently she wanted a gigantic TV ?
I cannot wait to finally create their werewolf forms, and I can't wait to see the awesome werewolves everyone around here comes up with! ?
I kinda think it would be fun to make an unlikely werewolf too! So move them into a totally unsuitable world like Sulani or Oasis Springs, make them squeamish, clumsy, snob, lazy or high maintenance then make up your own scenario- must reach top level in astronaut career, must be BFFs with Vlad! :D
