I cannot contain my happiness about the new Werewolves pack for The Sims 4. Despite people joking (or not???) about it being a “furry pack,” I think it’s very fitting for werewolves to look like this - after all, TS4 is all about that play-doh look. I’m just happy that this time they actually look like animals, and aren’t a blursed creation of some bonkers folk that went nuts with the jaw slider - and I say this as a hardcore The Sims 3 fan!!
Another thing that really irritates me is seeing people nag about the tails just because they see it in modern/contemporary media. Werewolves usually don’t have tails in folklore; and if that explanation isn’t enough, then - werewolves didn’t have tails in any of the previous The Sims games either. I know, I like seeing fluffy tails too but this simply isn’t a place for that. TS4’s werewolves’ soft fluffy faces make up for it <3
Also, the world having just 5 lots was to be expected but it’s still a bit sad to see. But but!! I love the fact that many things in the world are available without the need of loading screens: the lake, the underground system, the objects ‘in the wild’ fill this void and will keep folk occupied for sure. If there’s one thing I sometimes mind in Forgotten Hollow is the need to go through a loading screen to go to a house to cross the street, and I’m happy that this time it’s more interactive, I really appreciate that!!
I mean, what else is to say? The messy Life-Is-Strange CAS items look fantastic and the run-down B&B are something that was missing from the game for a long time and I’m ecstatic to see it. The fur options look good (especially since the colour wheel makes the creative process flexible), the lunar cycle is an incredible addition (considering it will affect ALL occults), the minor options like marking territory (pee) and running on all fours are OH so very welcome, and of course LORE!!
I cannot wait to buy this pack for myself in the very near future. One thing that is off to have it perfect is that the pack gets published on 16th of June. The full moon is on 14th - and the Strawberry Moon at that! Almost made it in time, though some sources might argue that the full moon will last until the 16th so we might be in the clear LOL
