I have joined the Werewolves Early Access opportunity https://i.imgur.com/zp0qTLm.png So will be taking and answering questions about gameplay, showing off Tempraments, Abilities, Lore and scree...
Please Note: The info I have collated here is from other players and gurus as I haven't played with this feature myself yet. Though, if you prefer to play mixed life state couples (like I do) it's likely not a feature you would see/use very often. This is why I wish only one of the sims had to be a Werewolf.
Fated Mates will always be another Werewolf. So if you know for sure someone isn't a Werewolf, or your played sim isn't a Werewolf, then flirt away as you don't have to worry about that connection forming.
You can only find your Fated Mate by deliberately flirting with other Werewolves. Only player initiated romantic actions count towards the chance of it happening.
Fated Mates have RelBits (2 linked hearts, like Soulmate) and also a Sentiment with the mate.
You can can be in another relationship, even Soulmates/Married, and still find your Fated Mate if you are deliberately flirting with Werewolves other than your spouse.
Gender preferences/orientaion is taken into account because the only candidates to be Fated Mate are the sims you choose to flirt with. You can have gay couples if you are flirting with the same gender Werewolf, for example.
There is no "ask" in Fated Mates. There's just "is" or "isn't". The decoded messages just confused the issue.
Werewolves can only have one Fated Mate in their lifetime, and being immortal is a choice, so think about that before you settle down.
You can choose to deny fate, and not be with your Fated Mate. Regular romance is still available to any Werewolf that wants it.
Someone posted in Deaderpool's Discord that Greg's diary mentions a Fated Mate being cured of the Werewolf curse will mean they are no longer your mate. This is likely due to the feature only being available to Werewolves. Sad about this as that would have been a good workaround to get mixed Fated Mate couples.
