Not sure if "fated mate" comes with the werewolf pack or with the pre-pack-patch. It sounds like a system where each sim has a "perfect match" chosen by the game, and that I assume we must search a while to find. And I don't know if this is restricted to werewolves or if it will be a thing with all kinds of sims.I sort of like the idea, although finding it hard to compare two features that I never tested, LOL.How about you - do you think the "fated mate" will replace the possible attraction system? Could it work?

It's been confirmed as a werewolf only thing. The mate can only be another werewolf.I'm sad about this as I like mixed couples.Will wait on a mod that removes the lifestate check when finding mates, but still makes it unique to werewolves.

After all , the werewolf pack is probably not focusing a lot on romantic relations. Such a pity that no attraction stuff came with MWS.

Yeah, it seems pretty limited. Honestly, I hate the RNG of a randomly decided "fated" role. I wish it had triggers. If so, it could have easily been applied to more than werewolf on werewolf.So much for vampire Juliet and werewolf Romeo.

I doubt its there to replace attraction systembut didn't they say if werewolf flirt another werewolf it might happen and only once and only between werewolvesthen again sims flirt like anyone on sight so :sweat_smile: i see myself ignoring their fated mate often if its too easily gainedI kind of wish theres way to cheat it off your sims when misplaced (say you wanted your sim to be gay and they suddenly go like nancy landgraab is my fated mate like naw man let me change that)

Will it be "fated mate" instead of an attraction system?

I'm bummed about this too. I really wanted a storyline of a werewolf "Fated Mate" with like a vampire or spellcaster or even regular sim. Ya know, Star Crossed lovers style lol. I like mixed couples, In my Occult saves I rarely ever have an occult end up with the same occult type.

I'm not a huge fan of the trope (I've seen it in fae stories too) but maybe I can use it if I get the pack. I definitely would NOT want it to be across the different species.

Apparently it triggers when flirting with another werewolf. They haven't said if they mean the first wolf you flirt with, or just a random time you flirt with a wolf even if you've flirted with wolves in the past.

Hopefully they only mean player-initiated flirting too. That way you get to narrow down the options by only flirting with those you like.

What about accidental flirting? Is it only player triggered, because Sims do autonomously flirt with each other. Are there safeguards or can they not be allowed to interact with anyone alone?

From what I read, it is only player triggered. The "Fated Mate" unlockable werewolf trait only has a chance to unlock when you, the player, direct your werewolf sim to flirt with another werewolf sim. Autonomous flirting won't trigger it. (or at least shouldn't. If it does, it's a glitch)
