Werewolf guide

1: Oh, good to know.
2: Thank you for this. I think I want to try a lone wolf.

Thank you for the info!

Does anyone know of one that's available?

In case you do not; a question or 4:

1: Sims that pass out in panic... is there any way to rouse them or prevent them? I thought about the 'brave' trait, but I don't want to go that far.
You could try the werewolf diplomacy. Have your werewolf sim unlock this ability through gameplay by asking werewolf sympathy. Your sim can give other sims a trait to prevent negative reactions to werewolf behaviour. I don't know if it helps if sims pass out but it is worth a try
2: What are the things a werewolf has to do? I assume that a loner wolf doesn't have to do much, but what kind of wants do they get?
You can choose to join a pack but you don't have to. My werewolf just finished university and is now getting ready to climb Mount Komorebi. They can basically do whatever you like. If you want werewolf specific gameplay than the aspirations can give you some direction
3: Does a werewolf have to go on a rampage? Is it possible for them to live a life without going on a rampage?
Rampages are caused by the full moon or by temperaments.
- There is a perk lunar resistance to protect werewolves against the full moon. It is a rank 4 perk and eliminates rage caused by the full moon completely.
- For temperaments, you should try to get temperaments that suit your sim. I had a werewolf with the romantic trait and the frisky temperament live with his girlfriend. He was building up rage constantly. Now that he has gotten rid of that temperament, he is way more relaxed. You need to learn the lunar howl perk (level 5 perk) to randomise your perks. You can even get a positive perk that doesn't build up rage. I even occasionally get two of them.
- rage seems to build up faster when a werewolf is transformed. If your werewolf is constantly in wolf form when they are not furious, his/her fury builds up way faster.
- the aspiration reward for the emissary of the collective aspiration gives the refined lupine trait. According to the description it passively builds less fury
- as mentioned earlier in this thread the perks somber howl and will to resist are also very helpful
4: Does the way a Sim becomes a wolf affect its behavior?
As far as I know it doesn't matter

Very helpful, thank you.

AWESOME! I have the pack, but have yet to play them. I'm typically NOT an alternative life-state player, so I've never really delved into any of the gameplay for them.

But, the story that's been brewing in my head for the last week incoporates a litte bit of some occult gameplay (the 3 major ones, that is). So I was going to be asking these same type of questions soon.

Right now I'm only at the point of jotting down some initial backstory ideas for my characters, but this answers a lot the questions I had too and helps so much because I also was wondering if you could prevent rampaging when the story needed.

About the rampage part.

If you want your sim to freely transform into wolf form and back, then you'll have to have your sim go through rampage without scaring any sims. In addition, when a sim becomes a werewolf, then they automatically go into rampage.

Very helpful, thank you.

I'm like Chicklet, I haven't really played the weres because I really hate the way they eat. But after reading this thread, I realise there are other things for weres to do other than bad table manners. :D

My werewolf recently learned to eat with chopsticks. I had to reassign chopsticks for it to work but he needed to eat with them for one of the snowy escape aspirations. He still eats like a werewolf, just holds chopsticks while eating for some meals.

Awesome! Did he "get a big dish of beef chow mein," like the werewolf in the song "Werewolves of London?" :D

Not that I noticed. ;) but he did get aspiration points for eating with chopsticks
