I have given up on this particular werewolf. His temperaments made him rage once a day because I couldn't reconcile them with his everyday life. Resetting the temperaments via lunar howl gave him slightly less annoying ones, but it was still too much for me to handle along with his fame, an infant in the house, and chickens that kept aging despite animal aging being turned off. So I decided to look for a cure, which was ridiculously hard to get, and even as a dedicated occult player, I'm pretty fed up with werewolves at this point.
Well, one thing I have learned is that you can't be a werewolf on the side, like with all the other occults. You are a werewolf first and have to build the rest of your life around that. The next time I feel like playing as a werewolf, that's exactly what I'm going to do. I'll let him live alone and unemployed in an off-the-grid cabin where he can do whatever he wants all day, no obligations besides whatever his temperaments demand of him, and see where we go from there.
The cure is very hard. Learning the recipe can take up a long time. Maybe learning the recipe could have been a bit easier.
Playing a werewolf on the side is possible if you are willing to allow yourself a cheat. I use a mod to pick the temperaments I want. My werewolves earn the lunar howl perk without cheats. But once they did the legit lunar howl, I use a mod to pick the temperaments myself. I find some temperaments easy to handle, I guess it depends on play style. With the lunar howl without cheats it is possible to randomly get two positive (blue) temperaments so I allow my werewolves two positive temperaments. This combined with the perk that protects my werewolf from the full moon, makes it possible to play a werewolf without constantly focusing on the werewolf gameplay. I am even considering to remove the lunar resistance because at times these sims are not werewolfy enough anymore.
The right temperaments make a huge difference. I play a werewolf with the romantic trait, living with his girlfriend and the frisky temperament. It was horrible with at least one rampage a day. But now he has temperaments that suit his personality better. For example the temperament to always be clean is an easy one for me.
