If you want to experience the werewolf lifestyle, you can turn your Sim into a creature of the night. You can then level up their abilities to unlock new werewolf skills.
How does Enhanced Smell work for werewolves?
Sims that have reached the Runt ranking can unlock the Enhanced smell ability. You can use this skill to sniff out treasures, sense the emotions of other Sims or detect occults.
With a new heightened ability to smell, Sim can put their nose to the ground and smell emotions on other Sims, sniff out treasure buried in the backyard, or detect nearby occult sims. Some things smell better than others, so get out there and sniff!
You also need to unlock the Scavenger ability to be able to dig for treasures. Use these two abilities to find secret books and learn more about werewolf lore. For example, Greg’s diary is lying around in Moonwood Mill waiting for you to find it.
Occults leave specific scent trails in Sims 4
Each occult gives off a specific smell. Werewolves with the Enhanced Smell ability can immediately detect it. The smell is also accompanied by a unique color cloud that appears around Sims.
For example, normal Sims have a yellow cloud around then, while aliens are shrouded in a purple cloud.
List of occult smell colors in Sims 4
- Normal Sims: Yellow
- Aliens: Purple
- Mermaids: Blue
- Spellcasters: Rainbow
- Vampires: Black and purple
- Werewolves: Brownish red
- Servos and skeletons: None
When werewolves detect the smell of a vampire, they’ll also get the Dangerous Scent moodlet. As you’ve probably guessed by now, werewolves don’t get along well with vampires.

So oddly enough my mermaid sim had children with a werewolf sim and none of their smells match the above list. Their plumbobs register them (child and toddler) as werewolves, BUT their scent clouds are green and blue.
I cant find anywhere what does pink mean. My werewolf sim smelled someone and its aura was pink and put my sim into flirty mood. Is it maybe a soulmate smell?
Could it be that your werewolf smelled an alien in disguise?
Aliens glow when they’re feeling strong emotions. Pink is for flirty indeed.
Also, if a Sim is glowing pink, this could be because they went to the Romance Festival and drank the Sakura tea.
Does that make sense in your gameplay?
I just ran into this as well. My werewolf sim smelled Travis Scott and he showed up pink and she had the moodlet “Tantalizing aroma” and the description is like (from smelling someone with a very special scent)
What is that smell?? It smells incredible! Have Sims always smelled this good? _____ is absolutely entrances by this wonderful aroma.
When she isn’t raging I’m going to invite him over and enhance smell to see if it happens again.
Okay guys so after some research and playing with the mechanic (on PS4) and I’m pretty sure that werewolf Sims can detect the emotions of human sins through smell and it influences their emotions.
