Wondering how to join the back and become a werewolf in The Sims 4 Werewolves? All you really need to do is pick a fight with Greg, usually spotted by his shack in Moonwoof Mill.

The whole point of this occult Sims pack is to get back to nature and live on the wild side. Werewolves offer the most lore-dense and immersive experience of all the Sims 4 occult types, a far cry from the comparatively meagre offerings of mermaids in Island Living.

Of course, actually getting your Sims to turn into werewolves in The Sims 4 isn't the clearest objective in the world. There are actually four separate ways to do it, only two of which involve getting bitten. We'll cover them all below as we guide you through how to become a werewolf in The Sims 4 Werewolves.

How to become a werewolf in The Sims 4

Sims 4 werewolf how to become

There are currently five ways, that we know of, for a Sim to become a werewolf in the Sims 4, listed below:

1. Ask a werewolf to bite you

2. Be attacked by a werewolf

3. Be born to werewolf parents

4. Create a werewolf from scratch in the Create-a-Sim (CAS)

5. Alter the Sim with cheats

While there's a few methods to get to the same point, individually they're not too complicated. The game seems to do a lot to make sure that becoming a werewolf is easy, accessible and viable for any players - again, when something is the focus of an add-on, it's worth putting it front-and-centre. The actual stages of lycanthropy can differ according to how you contract it, but we'll explain that in more detail below.

1. Ask a werewolf to bite you

If a character is a werewolf and you want to turn another character into one, have the uninfected character go and talk to them, and there'll be a dialogue option for it! The werewolf in question will need to have the "Cursed Bite" ability though, and a good relationship between the two Sims - something you can guarantee with a few liberally applied Sims 4 relationship cheats. Once bitten, the Sim will undergo four phases of increasing lycanthropy, eventually becoming a full-fledged werewolf.

2. Be attacked by a werewolf

If a character is bitten by a werewolf as part of a non-consensual attack, rather than a pre-arranged toothy snog, they contract a disease called Werebies. This will eventually turn into full-fledged lycanthropy too, and much faster than the method above. To cure it, quickly go to the Grimtooth Bar and ask for the Werebies Remedy. Keep in mind that you need to cure it while it's still Werebies - once it develops, you're incurable.

3. Be born to werewolf parents

Any Sim born to werewolf parents is guaranteed to be a werewolf themselves, which makes sense, and if you have only one werewolf parent, the odds drop to 50%. Baby werewolves show no sign of their condition, but it begins to visibly kick in at the toddler stage and up as they exhibit certain animalistic behaviours (of course, if you're unwilling to wait that long, check out how to age up a toddler in The Sims 4). By the time they're teenagers, all their wolf powers and elements should have unlocked.

4. Create a werewolf from scratch in the Create-a-Sim (CAS)

If you're creating Sims, you can just make them werewolves from the beginning. Werewolfism is an occult trait you can select in the CAS, and the Werewolves pack itself also comes with various other, wolf-themed clothes and options that weren't in the base game, so it's worth checking out regardless.

If you want to take the most efficient route, simply use cheats to crowbar dog DNA into your Sim and make them a werewolf instantly. To find out the exact code needed to change that and more, check out our page on Sims 4 werewolves cheats.

His love of games is strongest when it comes to groundbreaking narratives like Disco Elysium, UnderTale and Baldur's Gate 3, as well as innovative or refined gameplay experiences like XCOM, Sifu, Arkham Asylum or Slay the Spire. He is a firm believer that the vast majority of games would be improved by adding a grappling hook, and if they already have one, they should probably add another just to be safe.
