Many people within theSims 4community have wanted werewolves in the game for some time. Werewolves first showed up inThe Sims: Makin' Magic, as a cosmetic look that magical Sims could get with the successful use of the Beauty or Beast charm. Werewolves become an official life state inThe Sims 2: Pets, where they gained not only a beastly new look but also new interactions and other things that were exclusive to that life state. They came withThe Sims 3: Supernaturaltoo, where for the first time, players were able to make a werewolf straight from CAS.

WhenThe Sims 4’s Werewolves expansion was first announced it made a lot of players happy, and though the gameplay and the items that come inthe Build/Buy mode of the packhave their good points, many werewolf enthusiasts were disappointed by the general look of actual werewolves.Sims 4werewolves are the least scary rendition of the occult type in the series. TheSims 2andSims 3werewolves leaned more towardTeen Wolf-style werewolves, whileSims 4werewolves are a lot furrier. Luckily, however,theSims 4modding communityalways comes through, and there have been a few mods and a range of custom content made with the intention of making werewolves much more intimidating and realistic.
8Wolf Eyeliner Begone
Wolf Eyeliner Begone by NocturneAlleyis a mod that removes the heavy eye circles around werewolf Sims. It also removes the hand and feet markings that make werewolves look like they have paws. There are 3 versions of the mod depending on what players want to be removed.
There’s one that just removes the eye markings, one that just removes the hands and feet markings, and a third one that removes everything. They’re compatible with most eyes but override any mods that change nose details for werewolves.
7Quartz Eyes V2
With the new occult, there comes a new preset of eyes that are exclusive to werewolves. The preset comes with 17 different color swatches and a glowing effect for each eye. For players who want their werewolves to have more dynamic-looking eyes,Chippedsim’s Quartz Eyes V2is a good set to have.
There are two versions, one is a default replacement that will replace the game’s eyes completely. The other is an add-on, so players can have more variety. Either option should lead to better-lookingSims 4werewolves.
6Extended Muzzle And Mouth Slider
While some players complain about werewolves looking too animal-like, others feel like they aren’t quite animal enough. That’s where VecD0e’s mod,The Extended Muzzle and Mouth Corner Depth slidercomes into play.

This mod allows players more control over the structure of their werewolves' faces. With the slider, it’s possible to make the muzzle and mouth corner much longer, giving Sim werewolves a much more realistic wolf-like face.
5Bigger Werewolf Teeth
With the introduction of werewolves, there have been severalnew things in CAS, including new teeth for the life state.Sims 4 Werewolvescame with 6 new teeth/fang options. The original fangs aren’t bad but for people who want a different version of them or more options,Owlery’s Bigger Wolf Teethis a great piece of custom content to pick up.
Owlery changed the size and position of the teeth which makes a pretty significant difference. There are two versions available. One is a default replacement that will replace the teeth that came with Werewolves, while the other just adds the teeth without replacing the original ones.
4Wolf Feet
One of the issues that a lot ofSims 4players have with werewolves is their feet. In the game pack, their feet are still very human-like, just covered in a fur texture with pointier toenails. This wasn’t an issue when werewolves were given aTeen Wolf-style, but is now a lot noticeable with the switch to more realistic desgins.
Sims 4werewolves take on a much more animal-like appearance and many players feel like their feet should reflect that.Simomo’s Wolf Feet default replacementis a great piece of custom content to do just that. It will replace the feet of werewolves with feet that give them canine-like hind legs.
3Paintable Tails
There’s more than one piece of custom content that adds tails to werewolves, andSpinning Plumbob’s Paintable Tailsis one of them. With this, players can add in two different styles of tails to put on their werewolves, both of which look great.
One has no texture and will simply copy whatever texture is on the back of the sim. The second tail is textured, so while it takes the overall color from the werewolf’s body, players can use the paint tool in CAS to paint on it, giving it as many details as desired. Both can be used at the same time and are in accessories under the bracelet section.
2Werewolf Occult Tweaks
Chipped’s Creation’s Occult Tweaks modtweaks some gameplay in the game pack to make werewolves more intimidating. There are several things that players can change within the game, using this mod. It adds the ability to be protected from werewolf Sims by adding wolfsbane to food and drinks. It’ll leave the Sim with a confident moodlet and repels werewolves for 24 hours in the game.

The mod also gives werewolves the ability to make their bites venomous to vampires. During a full moon or if the Curse Bearer perk is unlocked, when a werewolf bites a vampire they will infect them with a dangerous venomthat can kill themif they don’t find an antidote for it. Occult Tweaks also gives players different options for more autonomous interactions with werewolves, like making them have nondeadly fights with Sims, or turning Sims into werewolves.
1Werewolves Mod
Before werewolves officially made it into the game, there were several mods and pieces of custom content that brought many aspects ofthe occult type into the game.Spinning Plumbob’s Werewolves Modwas one such example, and now it has been updated to work with the official game pack.
The mod makes its original werewolves into a separate lifestyle called Lycans and brings a lot of different interactions between Lycans and Werewolves. Werewolves can join Lycan packs or invite Lycans to theirs.Players can create Lycan/Werewolf hybrids, and many of the perks that were made for Lycans from the mod can be obtained by werewolves too. The Werewolves Mod does not requireThe Sims 4 Werewolvesgame pack either, so players who don’t have it can still enjoy werewolves inThe Sims 4.
The Sims 4 Werewolvesis available on PC, Playstation 4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S
