The Sims 4: Werewolf temperaments explained

Sims-4-werewolf-temperaments

Temperaments define where a werewolf’s Fury comes from. Inexperienced werewolves typically have one temperament. Seasoned werewolves have more than one temperament. As werewolves rank up, they pick up more temperaments.

Engaging in behavior that conflicts with your temperaments will increase Fury.

You cannot manually select the temperaments your werewolf will have. The game assigns them automatically based on your werewolf’s main traits and actions.

You can’t select temperaments, but you can do certain actions to influence the game’s decision.

There are 22 werewolf temperaments in The Sims 4 Werewolves. Out of these, 18 will appear naturally, and you’ll also get four unique temperaments when using the Lunar Howl ability to re-roll your temperaments.

As SimGuruMorgan explains:

Werewolves gain new temperaments as they level up and grow in power. They have an increased chance to get certain temperaments based on their Sim traits. Ex: Romantic -> ⬆️Frisky. You can reroll with the Lunar Howl ability if you aren’t feeling the ones you have.
