Well, you can click the link in my signature to see the rundown of things I'd like to see from werewolves I wrote not long after TS4 launched. However, some key things I want are:
1. Full wolf form transformation.
2. Customizable werewolf form, including things like fur textures for skin, wolf ears and noses, tails, the ability to stretch a sim's face our further than the current max limit to make a respectable muzzle. In short, I want to be able to make my sim's werewolf form more wolf-like instead of that lame "wolfman" look from the previous games. Also, I want to be able to do meaningful body type changes between forms.
3. A ton of special interactions, both cute and edgy. I want to be able to play each werewolf sim according to the personality I give them, and that includes their lycanthropic behavior. If I want one werewolf who's a brooding edgelord who doesn't do fetch and is tormented by his inner beast, I want to be able to do that. If I want him to have a roomie who is also a werewolf, but is a huge goofball who who gives people the cute puppydog eyes, chases his tail, plays fetch with himself, and has a totally chill inner wolf, I want to be able to do that too. Don't program in what kind of werewolf my characters have to be, give me a spectrum of options and let me decide who's who.
4. Not just one special recipe, but at least three. I want Steak Tartar for a gourmet meal, Rare Steak for a regular meal, and straight-up raw meat for a quick meal. I'm still disappointed about how special foods were handled for vampires, and I want to see it explored more with werewolves...especially considering bestial cravings are a signature symptom of lycanthropy.
5. Collars, chains, pentagram tattoos, and lots of shaggy/wild hairstyles. I mean, can a sister get some mullets, rat tails, super-long hair, spiky anime hair, and super-shaggy bangs up in here? And lots of different pentagrams for hands, arms, legs, chest, back, in different styles and orientations (tattoo-like, scar-like, plain, fancy, enclosed, unenclosed, downward, upward...)! And, yes, lots of conspicuous chain jewelry and studded, spikes, plain, and patterned collars--with and without tags...And if we could get some sweet Kamina glasses too, that would be a great bonus...Just saying.
Most of all, I want them to be made. I don't want werewolves to be skipped over for fairies or merfolk or whatever. As my username suggests, I really love werewolves. I spent much of my adolescence diving head-first into the old folklore surrounding them and concocting my own version of lycanthropes that fits the tone of my own stories and fictional universe. I know obscure crap like how some people believed that smacking a werewolf in the head three times with an oaken staff would force them back to human form and another bit about how holding an iron bar above a person's head was thought to be a good werewolf detector test--if the bar bent, they were a werewolf. I want my favorite supernatural beings (O.K., they're tied with dragons, but they're still my favorite) to be done some justice in this franchise for once! Give me werewolves, and give 'em right!
