Moonpetal Punch & Wolf-B-Gone

how many times do I have to read this diary

Not confirmed but I think you have a higher chance of finding the diary if you use scavenge outside Gregg’s trailer.

Well, it is random whether you unlock it or not. Depends on your luck.

If you get bored of the diary, you may try other secret werewolf books like A History of Moonwood Mill, An Insider's Guide to Being a Werewolf, and WE'RE Living Magazine (all of them found while scavenging in Moonwood Mill). While the unlock text might be different, you can unlock those three secret recipes through these books too (plus you may learn other secrets like some underground secrets).

Maybe... I kept finding a lot of those diaries in the Howling Point though... Perhaps sometimes the game likes to throw something more at you than at other times... But still, it could be a possibility (that a look into tuning files could confirm I think).

My sim just managed to unlock the moon petal punch. I had her made the drink and she immediately drank it before I could stop her. She now has a +1 fine moodlet. Is that all the moonpetal punch does?

Now on to rereading the diary in the hope of finding the wolf-b-gone potion.

@Atreya33 I think it resets wolf temperaments and/or perks?
edit: it's eating the moonpetal itself that resets werewolf abilities. the punch is to reduce fury.

Oh, the drink reduces fury? That's great. I think my sim will make a lot of them from now on.

And yes, eating moonpetal resets the perks. I already done that too.
