Gameplay review of The Sims 4 Werewolves 

The male sims are the worst in CAS bc it’s always the same clothes to wear unless you have CC. Super frustrating.

Kind of annoys me that the sims team treated having gender neutral outfits as having the same as male cas. I remember when someone asked them about this on Twitter and they're response was to point out how several of the clothing items were also available for men and maybe it's just me but that's not the same thing. Don't get me wrong I like gender natural clothing but male sims do deserve their own CAS especially since they just LOVE to flood us with female only CAS. I just don't think this was the W the sims team wanted us to think it is.

The werewolf bodies are cursed AF. 10/10. It looks like a mascot with a FNAF head.

PS they’re called Frosted Flakes in the states. And he’s Tony the Tiger😂

I do wish the legs were more wolf like, because when they run on all fours it looks awkward.

Adding you to my list of simfluncers to trust with review before purchasing: Carl Sims Guide, LGR, Plumbella, and now you. Even if the reviews are more positive, still gonna wait for it to go on sale. EA really out here charging DLC that cost more than the base game.

I wish the Vampire pack got this much details and features in their world

I really do wish the sims had the same amount of male CAS options as female options.

I really like this pack, I've been having a lot of fun! My only issue is with how the werewolves look and sound. I think the Sims team could've found a nice balance between the cartoony pg friendly art style of the sims and a more scary look with the werewolves. Also, the howling. I would've LOVED if the howls didn't sound as.... human-y. It would've been so cool if they had enhanced the VA's howls somewhat and made them sound rougher. Idk, maybe the modders will come up with some cool stuff.

The werewolves pack was very girly. Which was such a shame because this was the perfect pack to have male body hair and more rugged beards, male hands, masculine tattoos, more flannel clothing in various conditions, regular male jeans not tailored. I like men to look very masculine and like men. Not possibly metro. Not anything wrong with metro but if you want a manly rugged man for gameplay, ea just isn't delivering that

I’ve noticed there is an interaction with dogs as a werewolf but it’s not in the pie menu and only triggers if the dog is nearby. If you howl, any dogs near you will howl too. I’m not sure about cats yowling to the howl, cause I haven’t tested, but that’s about as far as it went with pet interactions. Which is a bummer because I would have LOVED werewolves being able to play with dogs the same way other pets do with all the little jumps, playfully chase them around, sniff them, or even play tug of war with them, I mean how cute would that have been?

Swimming in the ground is a more general issue, but it only happend to me when my sim was swimming and i teleported them somewhere were there wasn't any water. (If you want to fix this you can "swim" to the water and just walk out normaly.)

A few of the CAS items would work decently well as "dark academia" rather than grunge. I don't mind the grunge items being unisex though, this style is often used by both genders. A few longish masculine hairs would do nicely though.

So they were able to make a color and pattern wheel for werewolf skin but not for human sim clothes?

I'm not buying any more sims 4 packs, but I still appreciate your unbiased reviews

I intend to buy this on sale if I still want it when the next sale shows up. I really wanted to check that the pack didn't suck a la my wedding stories. Honestly the biggest appeal to me is build/buy and torn clothes because everything in the sims looks so clean/perfect which is unrealistic. I also have basegame and cc/mods. I really appreciate the graphs in this review.

I LOVE how unbiased you are. Sadly, unsponsored reviews of EA are rare nowadays.

Kinda late to the party here, but I agree that the werewolves look more feline than canine, they do kinda look like Tony the Tiger. We had that cereal in Canada, I used to love it when I was younger (I'd probably still eat it)... it's called Frosted Flakes

The problem is, I don't just want to build, but that's how it usually tends to happen, because the gameplay is so indescribably limited...

If you have cottage living you can get your werewolf to fight a wild fox and it’s cursed af. The fox grows dangly limbs and the animation that plays is when two werewolves fight each other. It’s wild but hilarious. 😂 Also if you have Paranormal installed the werewolves can eat the cursed objects that show up in a haunted house. And the specters too for some reason.

I agree the pop ups that tell a story are so annoying. Definitely one of my biggest pet peeve in the sims 4. Likewise I don’t play to read but to play 🤦🏻‍♀️

Using this pack to complete My Nightmare on Elm street house. Making a underground nightmare world with sceens from the movies. Needed the grunge items to finish it tho.

Dogs and werewolves will howl together, it’s really cute.

The gameplay options are AMAZING. It’s on my to buy list. But why can’t they do stuff like this for the other occults? EA showed us that they can do something interesting so why not put that same energy into the others?

Kinda wish they had sliders for tails and hind legs

The cereal exists in America, as well (it's one of my favorites). It's also called frosted flakes here, and the tiger's name is Tony.

I really enjoyed this pack. It feels better than he high school expansion pack which costs a lot more - it’s got more of an atmosphere and a levelling system for the werewolves is a lot of fun. Only problem I’ve had is in the last few days when I load the game my werewolf sim loses all their abilities and points so I have to cheat them back, but that also might be a side effect issue with the other bugs after that awful last patch which aged sims up randomly because it didn’t happen before.

We have Frosties in the US we just call them Frosted Flakes 😂🤣

One thing I hate about my pack is that I always find myself wanting to use all the ripped and tattered clothing but it wouldn't make sense on a regular sim so I would've loved some non ripped versions

The only thing that stops me buying it actually is how much the werewolves look like dogs imo 😂

My problems with the pack (my hopes were set quite low) Was when the gameplay AS a werewolf started to dictate how I played, for example vampires you have to CHOOSE your weaknesses, you choose how you build your character and how you play. With werewolves they give you temperments that suddenly mean you have to play around those, sure you can change them once you hit max rank. However it was just so annoying to be a sim who was an author but suddenly hated being inside and would lose control and transform whenever trying to write a book. They gave them some nice interactions. (Go hunt for food, lick yourself clean, sleep anywhere) But those could be done out of form (since the wolf look was kinda eh?) Idk so many people are saying it could be the best occult but personally I'd rank it at the lowest for me, Vampires - Spellcasters THEN wolves.

There is so much effort in your videos and it shows! It's one of the reasons why you're one of my most trusted *simfluencers.* Thank you so much for your entertaining content. It makes my day whenever you upload.

They did look like Tony, the Tiger and Kellogg frosted flakes is other countries like the USA where there were founded in 1952

I think a lot of the time the game changer/sponsored reviews are usually alright, but a lot of the time they’ll go ‘yeah this is alright, buy if you want it I guess.’. And then weeks later they’ll make videos ‘fixing the lots in ____ because they’re horrible’ or ‘why ___ is the worst pack so far’ like??? You couldn’t have told people your opinion on release when people are looking to buy it?

i had just bought this pack but i genuinly hate the furry look, so i had a lot of fun making a grungy mermaid in sulani. her home has the pier perfection shell, buf its almost exclusively werewolves pack inside. its a nice dichotomy which gave my girl a lot of character. just based on cas and bb alone, this pack was a must for me

Ill start and say that I really love playing with occults, and overall they usually do them justice in the sims 4, my favorite still being vampire, cause I don't think the sims team will ever make better and well balance pack. I enjoy spellcasters as well. Werewolves on the other hand imo haven't been work enough, just because you put ability to piss on the ground or sleep like a dog outside, does not make the perk tree better, those basic need filler takes 5 spots on the tree, meanwhile it should have been giving as basic perks, not earned if you know what I mean (its just like if your vampire needed a perk to compel for drink and another one to burn under the sun lol). Also, our vampires and spellcaster have ways to induce moods and make people flirty around them etc... there is no such power for werewolves, which make sense, but since dying of fear does not exist in game, our werewolves are basically harmless to sims. Lets say for example you want to kill sims with the other occults, you can, not directly, but you can, while spellcaster can create fire the the feet of a sim and make them burn to death or vampire creating strong emotional aura around them, you can that way induce death by laughter or rage. You can even turn another sim into a vampire and let him die in the sun, which give so much possibilities in terms of storytelling and gameplay. Also, the strength of our werewolf compare to other even with the Alpha perk, does not seems to change much, apparently knowledge in the books make your werewolves much stronger or perhaps the lunar fish, random and weird. Its seems really random while vampires had their perks with 3 levels and also were gage with the fitness of your vampire... The two packs are ok, but really it should have been a similar functionality of the clubs where you can create as much as you want etc... Also, in vampire, we have gameplay for non occult sims, like they can learn the vampire skill and learn the recipe to cure vampirism, which then turn them into vampire hunter. I wish we had something like that for werewolves, I mean you can always search in the werewolves books, but I love better how it was handle in vampire. Also, I know the community asked for lore, but really I could not care less about the lore I read in this pack, it was boring and not interesting at all imo. Vampire had pop up giving you knowledge you learned reading the book and make it more user friendly and clear to the point, not like the long ass text you have to read through... I don't know, its was not well done imo. If I was in the dev team I would have put less effort in lore, that is btw non replay value, compare to what we could have had, like a proper tool to create your own pack and a territory system, that applies to all worlds, like the pollution system, and where you would have to protect it or mark it and conquer it, so it could have been a crazy awesome feature where you actually can play forever and story building, right now, the pack are boring to me, nothing to do really except being a werewolves cool or tamed lol. If I had done it, I would also make sure there is a way indirectly to kill sims may be with emotions, and also make sure there are a hunt the werewolves gameplay for non occult sims, so you can take the fork and try to cure werewolves/kill them. Really that was the basic of a werewolves pack, but they did the very minimum and put lore just to shut up the crazies out there that want it, and unfortunately we end up with a boring game pack. Also, I like the esthetic of the werewolves and tools to personalize them, but the CAS, well done, but again, same opinion than Sachtonsims, the neutral clothes are off to me, I would have prefer clear differences and god them clothes for male, cause werewolves scream guy to me, despise not having much options very much masculine. I know body hair came after with High School, but really they should have patch later proper body hair for our furry, like bear type body hair for sims, so we can make full on masculine sims lol but I guess we have to satisfy ourselves with the very tamed version from base game and High School. I wish the werewolves getting into their fury rage would do automatically damage to the house or attack people even in no autonomy setting, because I like controlling my sims, but I was there for the fury of werewolves to unleash and I found out that nothing, absolutely nothing happen... Another thing I don't like is that you can sweat the werebies or wash it out or order a cure lol boring... how about having no choices but to turn and then cure it... this is not exciting. Those are all the reasons why I think werewolves are my least favorite occults with a designated pack in the sims 4, it could have been so much better with so much more gameplay, but they put to much effort in lore imo... which is one time deal and not at all entertaining, without talking about the tunnels things, which is exclusive to Moonwood mill. Another thing that annoyed me is the band aids after a fight... I mean I like the scratches and paw print limit, but the band aids look really bad and out of place (over stretched etc..). Another gameplay feature, I would have make it possible to dig in the mountain to find silver in order to create a cure. The temperaments are ok, but random, I don't think all of the one I got fit my guy... I wish we could have choose them through the lunar howl and perhaps unlock the best through gameplay but again... so we can customize our werewolf to a next level. I know there are stray dogs in the world, but actual wolves would have been crazy, with a lot challenge, where the wolves come and try to steal your garbage and make a mess around your house.

I found that spellcasters appear more likely accept werewolf sims with “ sympathize with werewolf nature” social interaction than regular sims.

I bought this pack and I do like it however it is lacking I wish we could create your own pack the making an all wolf club is fun but like you said it would be nice to have more wolf activities I ended making an evil werewolf that would go out and turn random townies into werewolves and then added them to my “pack” 😂

your comment on "frosties" is so funny 2 me cuz my UK friends thought a bunch of US brands were UK brands, and vice versa. i genuinely thought kit kats were american but they were invented in the UK, as an example lol. we share a lot of brands with slightly different names and/or logos without even realizing it. just smthn interesting i noticed lol

Thank you 😭 I needed a review

feeling rich to buy a new sims something, i just saw Strengerville review that was mny first chioce, and then looks this one is more interesting to play, very helpfull reviews, i wish i saw videos before buy some pack. Thank U ♥

they really need to limit townies to their own worlds..

Seeing how some stuff in the Werewolves pack is really detailed and other stuff seems thrown in or entirely missing, the Sims devs likely _wanted_ to put more of the things you mention in but their EA overlords said _No you could make that into a kit or something._ Some billionaire please buy the Sims franchise off of EA's death grip, PLEASE

You can’t play the werewolves pack if you have emotional deaths enabled because the rampage leads to the anger death.

i came here for the negative take after watching james turner and getting a bit hyped... lmao. first 10 seconds.

This pack mixed with strangerville was good for making my (what you called) crackden lol.

I don’t know if you were being sarcastic, but frosties do exist outside of the UK. Except ours are called Frosted Flakes same mascot though.

yeah u don't have to buy, u can download it illegaly, don't support EA

I love occult packs, werewolf is the one I always use, along with seasons and cats and dogs. But stuff like discover university I find fun every generation,

"Bark at the moon" is the only interaction I have seen between dogs and werewolves.

They actually remind me of the Khajiit from Oblivion/Skyrim 😂

In México the product/ serial is called "Zucaritas" and the mascot is Tigre Toño.

My dear Satch that right there was Secco. 7:37 *JoJo reference

As a furry, I can safely say that werewolf stuff and furry stuff are very distinct, even if there's occasionally overlap in design, which isn't the case in the sims, as you can't give hairstyles, gloves, shoes, etc, to the werewolf forms. If it *WAS* furry, then it'd basically just be either a remodeled alien, or the same except the werewolves would be vastly more customizable. I heard there's a furry mod, but considering how to a furry this pack is kinda lackluster in CAS, I don't even know if many people care for a crossplay patch or addon. Furgonomics is basically where something would be designed for anthro use, (whether it has accessibility for differently shaped species or just pants with a tail latch,) and this pack had the potential. It squandered it. If I could confidently follow instructions, I'd download the furry mod, but since I have issues with those, I'll just stick to wishing I had more packs so I could design my character like a force user, and/or Five from the Umbrella Academy show, and/or John Constantine. Quick question, can sims use sabers and droids outside of the Star Wars area?

Have you done a video about the Get to work expansion pack when the Sims get sick I been searching I can’t find it I’m blind 😭😭😭

would you do an updated review of this pack now that there has been a new update?

Frosties belong to Nestlé, we have them here in France with the Smacks (frog), Coco Puffs (monkey) and Honey (bee) (and maybe some that I forgot), that are targeted at children.

I'm not entirely into Werewolves but damn, I actually play with The Sims 3 Werewolves. TS4 wolves, uh...Hi Kitty Cat. 😍 You're definitely not a werewolf!

“like frosties” HAHAH in Mexico we call frosties Zucaritas lol. But actually they lookalike 😂

Wow. EA doing eff all for male sims in CAS. In a werewolf pack. Imagine.

I HATE that the body sliders are locked in werewolf form, like I wanted to make a petit sim that became a giant beast wolf when transforming, and I couldn't, it's so stupid, like why can't they transform into a bigger wolf??? Also I'm not a very creative person, but I love some of the werewolfs that other people have designed, why can't I save their coats and put it on my sim? Of course that doesn't really surprise me much since TS4 is horrible when it comes to simple quality of life stuff. Like the fact that you can't change a human sim to an occult in CAS I can't even begin to express how many times I've wanted to make one of the sims I've made previously an occult when I add them to a new save. So annoying

I think eyebrows make them furry looking and it does annoy me that I take eyebrows off the werewolf when they are unlinked, but link them again for evolving muscle development and have to occasionally rinse and repeat because eyebrows keep showing up over time.

We have Frosties in the US but we call them "Frosted Flakes" -- otherwise it's exactly the same, Tony the Tiger and all

"Frosties" are called "Frosted Flakes" in the US, and it's not "Rory the Tiger", it's "Tony the Tiger".

the lots were built by James Turner

Frosties are call frosted flakes I'm the US btw so they are outside of the UK.

You know LGR who I adore a lot got burnt out by the sims and the lack luster ness which idk werewolves I feel should’ve been more scary..

If your sim werewolf howels then the doggies nearby will howel too ❤

Am i the only one who actually likes the werewolf designs? 😂

To answer your question, in the US we do have those, but they have a different name. We call them Frosted Flakes, I actually prefer frosties though.

Imo they should release a Supernatural bundle that has Vampires, Realm of Magic and Werewolves all in one.

We have frosties in australia too 😁

frosted flakes in the US has Tony the Tiger on it

Can werewolves only transform if there rage is full?

One of the lead werewolves have a mohawk so please tell me why EA didn't include that with the pack.?

I'm not much in this type of content, but I feel like TS4 werewolfs it's heavelly based on those alpha wolfs romance stuff that have been somewhat making success latelly in the internet, which reminds me of the ts3 vampires beeing inspired by Twillight vampires, tho I think it's not that strong, but I never watched it so...

Wow I am never this early!

The pack is fine and some thought and love was definitely put into it but there are sooo many glitches it's ridiculous.

What’s the name of the music in the background?

I'll just wait for Carl Sims Guide (or his team) to test play the gameplay. He literally becane the highest ranking wizard in no time. So I'm not so sure yet about all those praises about the gameplay. And I'm definitely not buying the story about the team "listening to the community".

We have Frosties in Singapore 🙂

Unrelated to the video but yes orher countries have "frosties" but in the us they are called "frosted flakes" and the tigers name is tony

Wait. Frosties?? We have frosties (I’m in Canada) but they’re soft serve from a fast food Restaurant. Our equivalent to your frosties are called frosted flakes. We also have tony. LOL

Frosties is in Sweden also

i have vampires i plan to add werewves to my collection asap

3:28 y’all call Tony the Tiger Rory?

For werewolves, personally I think the arms should have the same porportions as the legs to make it more wolf-like and less human because this is literally a dude in a costume lol Also they should have paws instead of feet and more wolf-like legs to make them spooky

To me full body outfits for men are totally masculine

What if they give us worlds with more lots, but put shells on them? I wouldn’t mind having to build them myself in exchange for more lots.

Frosted Flakes is what we have but yeah its the same.

they be frosted flakes here in canada

They look like the cats in the cats musical lol

I just accidentally married one of the pack leaders. He’s so sweet!

Bruh, where are the tails tho?

The gameplay seems kinda cool, and werewolves were really fun in the Sims 3 so I wanted to get this pack, but then I saw the previews for the werewolves…holy crap. That’s not a werewolf. That’s a literal furry. I can’t stand it.

What did you call that cereal?😂 frosty’s thats a Wendy’s shake 😂

"Frosties" do exist in my country. Here they are called "Zucaritas"

I just still can't get over the fact that we still don't have body hair in this game, it's just so weird. EA want our sims to look plastic like ken dolls? Ok

I bought the pack and when I tried to upload my family (1 sim and 1 werewolf) to the gallery and my game crashed.

I'm going to find whoever thought we wouldn't need tails and to make the wolfves look like that and rip their eyes out
