The Sims 4: Werewolf Abilities

The Sims 4 Werewolves adds a lot of unique components to the game. One of these is werewolf abilities. You can view werewolf abilities in the needs menu on the bottom right of the screen. After that, click the book icon to open up the menu. Let’s delve into a full rundown of all of the werewolf abilities in The Sims 4!

These abilities give special perks to werewolf Sims. They range from quality of life, like being given the opportunity to calm down when your Sims rage is too high, or unlocking special abilities, like being able to turn other Sims into werewolves.

The abilities are broken down into different ranks with 25 different abilities. You can improve your Sim’s rank by doing various werewolf activities. Some include marking your territory, sparring with other werewolves, and studying werewolf lore. Note that your sim’s werewolf rank is separate from their pack rank.

In order to unlock abilities, you need werewolf knowledge. Werewolf knowledge can be unlocked by ranking up, and you’ll receive two werewolf knowledge each time.
