To become a werewolf in The Sims 3, ask an existing werewolf friend to pass on the curse and receive their bite, drink a Bottled Curse of the Lycan elixir, or create a werewolf outright in Create a Household. All three require the Supernatural expansion. Here is each route and the cure.
Method 1: The Cursed Bite
- Find a werewolf. Moonlight Falls, Supernatural’s world, has resident werewolves like the Hart family; they look human until the moon or their temper says otherwise.
- Befriend them. The curse is a favor between friends, not an attack.
- Ask for the curse and take the bite. Your Sim transforms within about two days; if bitten right before a full moon, the change can hit on the moon itself.
Method 2: Bottle the Curse
The Bottled Curse of the Lycan elixir turns whoever drinks it. Craft it at Alchemy skill level 8, or skip the study and buy one when it appears at the elixir consignment store in Moonlight Falls. Throwing one at a Sim works too, if consent is not your playstyle (they may not thank you).
Method 3: Create a Household
Supernatural adds a life state picker to Create a Household, so you can start a fresh save as a werewolf with zero setup.
How to Cure Lycanthropy
The Potent Cure Elixir removes the curse: craft it at Alchemy level 7 or buy it from the consignment store, then drink it (or throw it at the afflicted). Note that it strips any supernatural life state, so keep it away from Sims whose vampirism or witchcraft you want to keep.
Tips Most Players Miss
- Hunt as a pack. Werewolves can form hunting parties and dig up collectibles, one of the most profitable early-game loops in Supernatural; it pairs well with gardening for a self-sufficient lot.
- The full moon is mandatory. Werewolves transform on full moons whether they like it or not; plan parties accordingly.
- Fur customization is deep. Enter Create a Sim after transformation via a mirror to style the wolf form.
- Mixing occults: Sims 3 allows hybrid weirdness across packs; our guides cover witches, fairies, and zombies too.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do werewolf children inherit the curse? Children of werewolves can be born with it, manifesting as they grow.
Can werewolves control the transformation? Outside the full moon, yes: a werewolf can transform at will once the curse settles.
Does the curse hurt skills or career? No penalty; werewolves gain Athletic skill fast and hunt collectibles, which is a net gain.
Is there a lifetime wish tied to it? Supernatural adds werewolf-themed goals and rewards; pairing the curse with an Athletic career is a classic build.
