Werewolves

Werewolves are introduced in The Sims 2 Pets expansion pack. Werewolves are Sims who are infected with Lycanthropy. They get infected by being bitten by the leader of a pack of wolves walking around the neighborhood at night. A leader can be distinguished from the rest of the pack by its dark coat and yellow eyes. Having toddlers in the lot or adding extra trees and bushes in the garden will also attract the pack leaders.

Lycanthropy can also spread among werewolves. When a werewolf uses the “Savage” interaction on another Sim, the Sim ends up being bitten and gets infected.

Infected Sims transfer into werewolves every night at 8 pm. They return to their normal appearances at 6 am in the morning. When they turn into werewolves, their energy levels get a boost, while they immediately become very hungry.

Werewolves have some special traits:

• ·       They can drop the bladder need of the non-werewolf Sims around them by half with the “Howl” interaction.
• ·       They can summon other wolves to the lot when they howl outside.
• ·       Their personalities change in a few days after they are infected into Neatness, 10 Outgoing, 10 Activeness, 10 Playfulness, and 0 Niceness.
• ·       Their body skills increase after they are infected.
• ·       They eat more quickly than other Sims.
• ·       They do not clean after meals and they are messy in showers and baths.
• ·       They cheat when playing chess with other Sims.
• ·       They are able to train the dogs more quickly than other Sims. It takes them 1 hour to teach a command, whereas it takes a non-werewolf Sim 2 hours.
• ·       Male werewolves have a messy hairstyle at night, whereas females keep the same hairstyle they have during the day. However, werewolves cannot change their appearances at night using the mirror or the makeover bench. They will basically say that they have too much hair.
• ·       They can fight burglars and they always win the fight.

Usually, Sims with a Knowledge Aspiration want to become werewolves. They want to howl and turn other Sims into werewolves as well. Sims with other aspirations, however, tend to fear becoming a werewolf and they want to be cured immediately after they are infected.

Lycanthropy can be cured by using the Lycanthropic-B potion. Just like Vamprocilin-D potion, you can call the Gypsy Matchmaker in order to purchase this potion or you can purchase it from the Obedience Trainer.
