The addition of werewolves to The Sims 4 brings with it a host of exciting new gameplay options. Waking up to a life governed by the full moon, your Sims now have to handle their Fury on top of the daily intricacies of life - or risk transforming into a formidable beast and going on a rampage about town.

As well as keeping a lid on that fiery temper, Sims can join one of two rival werewolf Packs and challenge the Alpha to take their place as Top Dog. Read on to find out how!

Updated on April 27, 2023, by Axel Bosso: The Werewolf Pack in Sims 4 lets you fulfill your fantasies of barking at the moon and becoming a fearsome creature at night. You can also become the Alpha of your Pack, being a strong figure in your group. Check out how to do that and complete The Werewolf Aspiration by reading this guide.

Step One: Join A Pack

Two characters speaking with each other, one of them has a red aura.

If you're ready to graft your way to the top of the food chain, and if your Sim has already become a werewolf, you'll want to join one of Moonwood Mill's Packs and suck up to the pack leader.

After befriending either Alpha, the option to 'Become A Friend Of...' will be available to select as an interaction when you speak to them. Once becoming a Friend of the Pack, you will be able to use the clubhouse facilities - and what's more, you can become a friend of both Packs if you haven't decided which one is for you yet.

You will be able to click 'Join Pack' and demonstrate various werewolf skills to impress the Alpha, from showing off your finest Scavenging techniques to discussing the Lunar Epiphany. These skills can only be performed once your werewolf has experienced their first Transformation, and some of them require corresponding abilities to be purchased from the skills tree.

Where To Find The Moonwood Collective's Alpha

The Moonwood Collective is led by esteemed Pack Alpha, Kristopher Volkov. Easy to pick out from the crowd for his long brown hair, trimmed beard, and flowing patchwork coat, Kristopher can usually be found at the Collective's club hangout. This is marked by a hollow tree trunk just to the right of Howling Point, nestled amidst the lush greenery and surrounded by picnic tables, outdoor grills, and gardening patches or planters.

The Collective is a great choice if your Sim is looking to make respectable, friendly connections who champion Werewolf Diplomacy as a core value. These wolves frown on uncouth displays of aggression or intimidation toward others, so you'll need to put your best paw forward as you make your case to join Kristopher's pacifist ranks.

Where To Find The Wildfangs' Alpha

If you welcome the animalistic aspects of your lunar gift with hungry, dripping jaws, The Wildfangs might be the Pack for you. This scrappy band of rebels has Rory Oaklow at the helm. She is the blue-haired estranged child of rival Pack Alpha, Kristopher, who adopted her as a young pup.

You can find The Wildfangs' hideout nearby Grimtooth Bar and the Library, marked by the roaring bonfire outside a nondescript caravan, and Rory is never too far away from it.

The Wildfangs couldn't be more different from the Collective. For one thing, they not only accept their primal natures but are proud to show them off. One of the core beliefs of the Pack is that when it comes to lycanthropy versus humanity, every Sim should be so lucky as to become a child of the moon.

That's why they will want you to actively turn more Sims into werewolves, expanding the Pack's presence in Moonwood Mill and building up momentum on The Wildfangs' path to greatness!

Step Two: Adhere To Pack Values

As a Pack member and wannabe Alpha, you will be expected to be an ambassador for your Packmates by espousing their Values in your day-to-day life.

By respecting your Pack Values, you'll work your way up the inner circle ranks and avoid being summoned by the current Alpha to be reprimanded. Even all-powerful lycanthropes can slip up but don't make a habit of it - repeat offenders could be ejected from the Pack unceremoniously.

Pack Value

If you get kicked out, you can still ask to re-join the Pack at a later date. Just don't screw up your second chance. It might be an idea to jump ship to the rival Pack if your values really don't align, or maybe even resign yourself to the solitary life of a Lone Wolf.

Step Three: Complete The Pack's Werewolf Aspiration

Whether a rebel Wildfang or friendly Collective Packmate, becoming the Alpha is the ultimate goal of both Pack's unique Werewolf Aspiration pathways.

Once you complete the Werewolf Initiate pathway, you will be given the option to either join a Pack and fulfill their Aspiration requirements or go for the Cure-Seeker and Lone Wolf pathways.

However, you need to be a werewolf to become the Alpha, and you definitely will need a Pack to lead.

If you want to hit all five pathways, go for those last two once you have risen up as the ultimate big bad wolf of your chosen Pack. After all, even Alphas can retire - right?

Step Four: Unlock The Alpha Wolf Ability (And Fight!)

All werewolf abilities in the skills tree in The Sims 4

Once you collect enough ability points to raise yourself to the Apex werewolf rank, you'll be able to unlock the Alpha Wolf ability.

As well as the Natural Healing ability and raising your Body skill in general, this ability will be your veritable ace in the hole if you want to take on your Pack Alpha successfully. It boosts your overall intimidation and credibility as a wolf, making other wolves respect your dominance and greatly increasing your chances of victory when fighting.

Once you unlock it, all that's left to do is challenge your Alpha at the sparring grounds - and fight tooth and nail for the crown.

If you've built up a strong friendship with Rory or Kristopher, be prepared for it to be severely wounded. After usurping either one as the Alpha, a negative Impression of you will appear in their relationship panel: the Hurt By Packmate grudge.

Prepare to do a lot of grovelling - or simply leave them in the dust you cold-blooded Alpha, you.
