How high is your relationship with the wolves?  It has to be at least 50 / 50.  Also, do you monopolize all the time spent while they're there?  I mean, are you constantly interacting with them, until they leave?  Every second spent playing razzle and feeding treats, rubbing their belly, etc?  Because they won't override your Sim's actions to nibble.

He looks exactly like the wolves that come around your lot.  The only difference is the glowing eyes.  You can see a pre-release pic of him here, courtesy of Snooty Sims:

Thanks, they're lovely!

Great job!  But, I just have to know -- where did you get that woman's bikini?

Yeah, I love knowledge sims for the same reason ... although I think my vamp was a romance.  Or maybe I changed it to knowledge, I can't remember!

Really?  My vampires now want to bite someone.  It's a little icon of fangs, and sometimes is even specific -- they don't want to just bite someone, they want to bite Doe Sim in paticular.

Wow, that reply was much faster than I expected.  So it being owned or not is the deciding factor.  Thanks, just needed that clarified.

Wait, I'm confused.  (Not hard, I assure you ... )  Can pets visit community lots, or can't they?  I've downloaded it, either way (not taking Fido to the doggie park is a small price to pay for him not following me to work) but I just want to be clear on what I'm downloading.

I have that problem, too.  My werewolf simmies are usually of the knowledge aspiration, and are constantly wanting to savage someone.  Even if I fulfill that want (random townies beware) it pops up again five minutes later.  It's very frustrating.

Well, I, for one, am impressed.  The paranormal is not for everyone -- some people, such as myself, think it's awesome (but then, again, I grew up on old Star Trek episodes), and some just want a 'normal' universe.  I think it's nice that EA put anything paranormal in the game in such a way that you almost have to go looking for it to find it (if you don't want aliens, don't stargaze at night, etc).  But if you don't want it at all in the game ... that's your decision, too.  Congrats on a werewolf-free Sim World.

I think it all goes back to the 'cheesy' road EA decided to take with the whole werewolf thing.  Remember, at first, lycanthropy was considered a curse, and anyone who had it was thought to be an animal, miserable from their lack of self-control, and damned.  He destroys all he loves, including the people he loves, not because he wants to but because he can't stop himself.  Looked at that way, lycanthropy is a very negative thing, and it would make sense that anyone who had it would rue the day they met [insert maker's name here].

However, even though there are downsides to it (your personality changing, for example), there are also a lot of perks.  You can train animals faster and shoo skunks much safer.  You get body points by doing nothing but being yourself.  And you can scare the sh!t out of your neighbors with the 'Howl' and 'Arrgh!' interactions.  Oh, sure, you have to make sure you're out of view of any unsuspecting neighbors at 6 am and 8 pm.  But it's a small price to pay for the ability to summon the wolves in your neighborhood just by howling.

Personally, there are several things I'd like changed about it.  The furious thing could stay, yes, but only if the changed Sim had a fear of becoming a werewolf, or if they had certain aspirations (Family, for example).  It's annoying, but not unavoidable.  In my neighborhood, my dude got bit by the Leader of the Pack, and the first thing he did was savage Tara Kat.  Now, all I have to do if I want a Sim to be a werewolf is summon Tara, make her selectible, and have her savage them.  Everyone's pissed at Tara, but I dont' care because I never play her.  Having a designated savager in your neighborhod is a really good way to go, especially since EA did one thing right in making it so your werewolf simmies can 'savage' anyone, not just people they have at least an XX / XX relationship with.  Like the vampire's 'bite neck' thing is, which caused me no end of grief until I found a mod that changed it.

Heh, true.  I only use hacks that improve the game, not cheat-based hacks.  For example, the last hack I downloaded was to make taking a bubble bath not only improve hygene and comfort but fun as well -- which makes sense, since bubble baths are fun.  But hacks that make my life much easier?  No.  What's the point in playing if everything is super easy?

Exactly.  'Lamp-eyes' (the Leader of the Pack) doesn't behave like a normal wolf.  I don't know if it's even possible to adopt him (although with hacks I'm sure it is, I'm talking about using the normal, non-hack-affected options.

Vampyre's correct.  That wolf isn't a werewolf, in that he doesn't have a human form.  But he is the alpha of the local wolfpack (hence the title, Leader of the Pack).  And he can nibble your sim and turn them into a werewolf.

However, he'll only do so if your relationship with him is at least 50 / 50.  And he's the only one who can -- if you want a wolf as a dog, I'd suggest befriending one of the other wolves, which you can adopt.  I have at least three black males in my neighborhood, two of which are named Beasley and one other named Benny.  But that varies from neighborhood to neighborhood.  And the other wolves can't turn your sim into a werewolf.

It can happen any time of the day.  It's just that the Leader of the Pack doesn't hang around for very long after the sun rises.  So it's very rare that it happens during daylight hours.
