To be more specific for the limiting werewolves to Moonwood Mill option: it doesn't stop werewolf sims from showing up in other worlds, it only stops them from showing up in werewolf form.
That is great honestly
I want it for aliens too
@@roseability86 Aliens already do that, except for Aliens night in bars
@@joaolima7131 I honestly wish there was an in-game option to turn off certain bar nights. Been using mods for disabling them ever since they were introduced. I like occults, but I still want to have a certain degree of control over them and not have the game adding 10+ new aliens each time I visit a bar on alien night etc.
@@roseability86 yes and vampires.
I missed your honesty and deep look.
Happy to have something to cover!
missed his videos too!
Me too! As soon as the livestream came out I first looked for his videos’
I reeeeeeally hope that we get a rival trait between the Vampires and the Werewolves. THAT would be awesome to have with unique interactions as well
Yes please. And a forbidden romance and hybrid option. I just want a game that let's you recreate Underworld.
@@Sorakeyblademaster37 they do actually.
I'm creating Twilight and Underworld if that happens
i doubt there will be one, considering you'd need the vampire pack for it to work :') and... this is ea we're talking about, sadly
yes they do actually. once they are introduced they immediately dislike each other
I hope some day they fix the mermaids, aliens and ghosts.
and PlantSims.
If you're interested in mods to supply some of those occult check these mods: Expanded Mermaid by SpinningPlumbobs Frankenfix of Nyx's Enhanced Aliens by baniduhaine PlantSim Lives by SrslySims
They probably won't
@@coolchilion722 thank you for sharing this info! I love playing with occults and like giving them my own restrictions and abilities with the power of imagination lol, so having mods for that it’s perfect for me!
I wish modders can use the new "werewolfs stay on moonwood" option in the menu to creatr a versio to keep every resident on their own world so we don't see nancy langrab everywhere 🙏🙏😭
There is actually already a mod for that
@@joaolima7131 Yeaah, but with this it'd be easier to track and more customizable I feel, like enabling new crest citicens also in Willow creek by putting those 2 on or so (???)
Fr! Why is Judy Ward everywhere?!
@@joaolima7131 what's it called?
@@aonairskies sim spawn overhaul
I really want to limit merfolk to Sulani since it's very hard to care for them in other worlds, given how quick their hydration need depletes. I wish EA had given them more places to swim, since there are other worlds with oceans in them...why can't we swim/fish there? Makes no sense. Honestly I wish all bodies of water were swimmable. I am looking forward to this pack though, the wolfies are cute. I also think the whole lunar phase thing is something that will eventually be incorporated with fairies.
The limit option only limits them being in their beast form - werewolf sims will still spawn in other worlds.
You can swim in the northernmost neighbourhood in Henford-on-Bagley.
then just don't play them in other worlds you numbskull
I read somewhere, they plan to make ponds swimmable. But who knows when that becomes available...
@@GreenScrapBot that was a long time ago, like years ago, I wonder if it was just a rumor
Thanks. I don't feel like being bothered with watching livestreams.
I was trying to watch it but it was so incredibly boring I backed out and watched this instead. Thank god for Carl.
@@MKGenevie Exactly
it was a mess
You didn't miss anything. The livestream was a disaster as usual. Boring too. The audio was terrible and they had technical difficulties that cut them short on time. Not everything was shown in detail. The Sims team are insanely incompetent.
@@saltycat662 All because Maxis was shafted.
ok someone said this in another video "if you woohoo Greg does that mean your gregnant?"
Damn it.
I love werewolves, and was really excited to hear about this pack (no pun intended). But, am I the only one who sees these werewolves and think they look like the CGI from CATS??
You should catch some of the things they've said about these werewolves on Twitter--from furries to cartoony to yes, Cats the Musical.
I’m not an occult fan, but Vampires had great gameplay. At least from this summary, it seems like they’ve been listening (FINALLY!)
as a mostly non-occult player, i was just wondering why can’t they put the same amount of love into other types of packs. vamps was pretty well done and this pack is looking similar.
Holy crap it’s CARL 😃 We missed you! Glad to see you back in the fray!
I wonder if pets can react to werewolf like dogs get happy and cats get scared or aggressive towards u.
I actually have the Werewolves pack, and I might be able to shed some light on this. Due to neighborhood story settings, the Volkovs (an all Werewolves household) got a pet cat, and called one of my Werewolves over to meet the new pet since he's a family friend. No reaction from the cat when I had him introduce himself. It didn't react to his wife Selena either. So while I'm yet to further test this, I'm sad to say that pets probably don't react to Werewolves.
That does look pretty good but I'm sad the werewolves look isn't for me. It weirdly cat-cartoony like.
same, but modders will probably fix them.
The Sims 4 Furry Pack
It's a huge improvement for me since I was a Sims 3 player for many years, dealing with those werewolves lol...they were so ugly, but fun to play with. I love the cute, fluffy look of these werewolves. The art style matches the Sims 4 aesthetic.
Thank God for custom content creators modders!
same, i rather the look of the sims 2 and sims 3 personally. it really makes them look like they are half human and half wolf.
Finally we're getting werewolves after how long we got vampires now I can have epic battles between werewolves and vampires or make the characters from Twilight
Imma make hybrids 😀
@@juliaw151 There are no hybrids.
@@saltycat662 I’ve been playing the game since launch, there are mods. I use them.
@@juliaw151 I'm making Underworld.
Your pack reviews/commentary have helped me time and again to decide on buying a pack or not; this being no exception! Thank you Carl💗
Bn lol
I might actually be coming back to the Sims 4 now. I have wanted werewolves for so long! I LIVE for supernatural sims.
Same feeling!!!
Seriously missed your videos!! Hopefully there will be a review video coming soon 🤞🏻🤞🏻 I always love to hear your feedback.
Pleased to see new lore, though disappointed at so many rabbit holes and that it still feels kinda empty again. Thanks for the great summary as always
Idk how they managed to both make something that seems better than usual but also still lacking. I feel like if they were going for this aesthetic then they should have also given us hair, facial hairs and body hairs for further customize the werewolf form. Feels like they cut corners a bit by just using human skeleton already so could put that into some other small details.
Good news - body hair is coming to the base game in a future update. Bad news - we don't know when exactly.
@@onemorekayaker1934 they implied they were coming in an update sooner rather than later, so we probably won’t have to wait long for it
They do stuff like this, Some people believe that for the Afro hair texture they based themselves on a cauliflower 🥵 i don’t know how accurate that is but dangggg.
@@Kalolelo It was a specific female hair from CAS and the cauliflower comment was mentioned in a dev tweet. It wasn't the texture as much as the 3D shape of the curls which... yeah. Inspiration can come from anywhere, but it's bad when there's very little representation of Afro hair/curls in the game and people are complaining that it looks terrible.
@@j.stanley1669 i think it’s ridiculous they based the hair on that instead of a real Afro from an actual person 😅 . No wonder people of color were angry about it.
Hey are you updating the guides on the main page anymore? I need to learn more about werewolves so I saved this video to come back to watch. Thank you!
The stairs thing really annoyed me, you'd have thought they would be able to fix that. It looks awful
Well I... think I prefer this design over the Sims 3 design... I feel that something about how they look seems... off, but I can't put a pin on it. Maybe it's their facial features from a head-on view. Maybe it's the lack of tails. Maybe it's the human legs. Or, maybe it's just seeing werewolves doing normal Sim animations and checking their phones. Probably something you'll get used to. Wonder what modders will accomplish, particularly CC.
Werewolves don't have tails in majority of werewolf lore
I'm with you on the lack of tails. The body also looks... really... weird. Kind of like the masculine frame looks odd and I can never figure out why. If you're open to mods, along with the CC, Spinning Plumbob (iirc) already has a werewolf mod :3
I mean, people already had CC sliders/presets for snouts and stuff; I've seen all kinds of monsterous and weird things for basic Sims and mermaids. Just gotta allow it to work for Werewolves tho no idea how it'll affect the facial animations lol.
@@joaolima7131 I see. My view was skewed, most of my exposure to werewolves was Skyrim where they gave them tails.
I was already going to buy this pack for the pretty little world, CAS & BB objects, but wasn't all that excited about werewolves (still waiting for my fairies and rockbands), until I watched the stream. The gameplay in this pack looks really intriguing! I like that we can confine weres to Moonwood Mill. HOW I wish we could confine active NAPs to Evergreen Harbor and celebrities to Del Sol Valley. They basically shut down my retail store and every public venue they infest. And the damn ubiquitous townies. Seriously, we have to have all the base game townies "milling" around in Moonwood Mills? GAH. Hello modders (hint hint) please FIX THIS. I'm so tired of them NUKING IMMERSION in worlds they don't belong in. So... where did the were keep his phone while he was NEKKID? Inquiring minds want to know. And finally. About that head. I still find the little tiny cartoony wolf heads jarring. They had a chance to be awesome. But... sigh... Sims 4. We knew it wasn't gonna happen. All the customization will help. And again, modders will ride to the rescue. I'm sure.
It looks really cool but, indeed the heads are a bit... Jarring. Right up on the uncanny valley maybe? It just keeps reminding me of that god awful cats movie designs..
You can disable NAPs in the menu
@@SUME1234 yep, the heads are out of proportion with the werewolf bodies
There IS a mod called "better walkbys" that does limit foot traffic in world's to sims that actually live there, if you're interested.
@@joaolima7131 Yes. I am aware and have done so, but as I said above I would like to have NAPs enabled, but JUST in Evergreen Harbor, so they don't bleed out into all the rest of the worlds.
I'm going to be honest, I'm mostly just looking forward to BB. The werewolves look like sims in costumes or just too tooney. I do hope they release a good pack though and that it isn't broken. I'll wait until everyone else rushes out to grab it first before I spend anything.
Hello how are you doing... nice getting to meet you
Features of one pack actually impacting and interacting with features of another pack? Unheard of! More seriously, they had me at "actual telescope", that's all I need to know.
Am I the only one laughing when they run???🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Also, am I the only one who thinks that the head is too small in proportion🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Really interesting to hear there’s an ability for the werewolf trait to skip a generation!
Thanks so much for this. I've been done with the Sims since the Snowy Escape pack and this definitely won't be bringing me back.
Please review the new packs.. you’re my favorite KZheadr for sims content 🥺
I was very ... meh about werewolves because I'm not super into it as a concept and also I was wary of Sims 4 Furry pack but seeing that it is more like vampires, with the power tree and actually having to do some work, I'm more interested in it than I originally thought I am holding out for a bit in case it's another 12 hours of gameplay until you complete the storyline pack
Werewolves are not furries though.
@@loupblanc7944 Sims 4 werewolves look like furries, or just "wolf people" they look nothing like werewolves. Hell some of the ones in that preview looked more cute than scary.
@@loupblanc7944 Furries are to werewolves what weebs are to anime characters. But still the ones in this pack _look_ like a furry's OC, and a lot of stuff shown just feels like pandering.
@@Sorakeyblademaster37 Oh ok yeah, werewolves in this look more like furry bait I agree.
I just hate how the werewolves look. They're too human like, i think, like a person in a wolf costume
lets be honest here tho, its better than the star wars dlc where they used actual costumes..
100% modders will have a fix to make em look more wolf like and CAS painters will make em look realistic and "werewolf looking" as possible XD
I missed you so much, I know you've been busy, but thanks God you're back here
Yeah, just not a lot to say about all the kits that have come out lately :)
Agreed, Kits aren't worth it for a review
I'm getting worried about Carl! Werewolf launched and nothing from him and now we've got HSY coming out and still nothing
The world took him Sadge
@@aturchomicz821 What does that mean?
Thanks for this, Carl. I ended up missing most of the live stream, so this recap is awesome!
No worries!
I think they should release another world with extra empty lots. Eta, cant wait for the BB stuff. Ita gonna make an RtoR So much more believable
Thank you! I was hoping you were going to post! So appreciative of you covering the livestreams!
Thanks for the summary! I started watching the stream and realized I couldn't focus on it for that long, so getting it in a concise, well-packaged video is helpful!
Thank you for this breakdown! I always greatly appreciate the attention you give to how new content might interact with or be similar/different to existing content, and the way you can see clearly through hype, as I am capable of neither of these things.
Thank you for the overview, a very fair and measured response to the stream, as ever!
I hope a cc creator unlocks the 'sleep on the floor' option for all sims :)
Why do they give werewolves such *****y powers? EDIT: Now that I've seen them, werewolves have a lot of good abilities. But pi**ing on the floor and licking yourself is still Florida Man-tier powers.
Would be better then using the "Dead" pose (No offense to Triplis found this Mod/CC in April 2022 so Werewolfs were still in the "Leaks" section)
@@Sorakeyblademaster37 How is being able to pee on the floor and cleaning yourself "shitty" powers? Like, you never have to worry about your Sim rushing around trying to find a bathroom/toilet to use or clean themselves in. As a werewolf, you can literally take care of those needs where ever you want. You also gain the ability to curl up and sleep comfortably on the ground which means werewolf Sims don't need to stumble along to find somewhere to sleep when they are tired. Werewolf Sims also have the ability to Hunt for Food whenever they are hungry and they can even unlock an ability that allows them to eat things that aren't normally edible such as furniture to state their hunger. They also can unlock an Alpha ability that allows them to win fights more, as well as healing and immortality abilities. As a werewolf, your Sim can learn abilities that can literally allow them to tend to any need they may have where ever and whenever they want. So how is that "shitty"
@@Sorakeyblademaster37 can they drink copious amounts of alcohol though?
Thanks, Carl! That was a great recap!
Great summary. Thank you and welcome back!
I've been waiting for your review🤗 Thank you!!!
Thanks Carl for your review. I like that you pointed out features I missed seeing in the livestream and what the gurus didn't touch on.
Carl as usual, you give the best Sims news and features. Keep it going you rock
I do think this pack is one of the better gamepacks (at least on paper for now). But I feel your concern about the werewolf checking his phone after he transformed back to human form. It is things like these that I do not like about The Sims 4, it's that those small details that break my immersion and just bothers me so much. Like Nancy or Bella or Judith casually strolling everywhere. Or that rich sim from Get Together is your park's homeless person because he has the erratic trait.
Honestly I actually really like those weird things happening personally, I find it adds to the charm. Like how you can chat up Grim and marry Santa.
So glad to see a video from you ❤️
I sure have missed your videos! Thanks for the rundown on this new pack.
Happy to lend a hand, Deb!
I love your succinct, honest, and entertaining delivery!
So happy to see a new video from you!
Hello how are you doing... nice getting to meet you
thanks, i don't want to sit through a how long stream so this really helps
Thanks for such a concise and comprehensive summary - I hate having to watch 3 different simmers to get ALL the news from *one* stream. I appreciate the effort you put in!
New Carl video. This is a good day.
Not all heros wear capes. Thanks for the summary!
Thanks for captioning!
Do you remember when Sims 3 gave you all the supernatural creatures in just one pack, instead of giving you 1/4 of the content for double the price? I have turned off my auto updates. I’m tired of them ruining my mods. Mermaids need an update, as well as plant sims, aliens, and more. EA doesn’t like to flesh out anything when the customers will by any trash they make. It’s a shame
It's nice to have other kinds of gameplays for a change, I'm excited for this pack as well!
I've missed your videos Carl!
i feel this pack should have been a full expension, theres so much more they could have done! Im still very excited for this but imo there could have been a lot more to the gameplay
no
You know what happenned to mermaids and aliens they were from a expansion packs so no.
@@joaolima7131 I think occults should just stay in a game pack since they are smaller packs and the occults can have way better gameplay.
@@joaolima7131 well that was early on …
@@joaolima7131 Mermaids were in an expansion pack, but mermaids weren't the main focus of the pack, they were just an addition to a pack with am much boarder focus on the island lifestyle and culture and environmental conservation. The same goes for aliens, they were in the same pack as all the other Get To Work stuff, it wasn't a pack just about aliens. An expansion pack focussed entirely on one occult would be different and much more detailed.
Well this looks more promising than I expected- still very sims 4 but effortful sims 4. I wish the wolves didn’t look so…off. Their design and their movements look so janky, I guess at least it’s better than Weddings.
thank you carl you have the best most informative sims vids! i’m not going to get the pack so i am excited for the new base game stuff. especially the small telescope!!!
Welcome back Carl!!
Yaaaay!! You'd been gone for a while..I'm glad to see you back!! Also this looks super fun.. DEFINITELY GONNA GET THIS😍😍!!
im patiently waiting for Carl's Sims 4 Werewolves review
Glad you are back 👍
There's alot going on here that I absolutely love and if the pack is actually playable upon release, Im definitely buying.
I thought I was done buying anymore packs but this one might just be the exception. Looking forward to the reviews after release!
lmao imagine giving EA money when you can just download it for free online
@@Alex00006 pirating
Omg Carl finally have content to cover 😭😭
omg love tutorial aspirations and branching
Good to see your video! Thanks.
Thank you for this😭
It's very messed up that in a livestream for a pack that is less than a week away we've been made to believe any bugs are acceptable. Any other major game studio that showcased full release DLC/games with visual glitches etc would be ripped to pieces. EA have let us down so consistently that we just take it. The pack looks like it could be fun (for a few hours like literally every other pack), but calling it now that there will be a number of annoying glitches that spoil the experience. The stair thing showcased in this video is just example 1... As always, I hope I'm pleasantly surprised, but as someone who's played this sims for as long as I can remember, EA just continues to let me down.
People really need to just start pirating the games until EA starts _hurting._
Carl, I love everything you do! Thank you for your guides! When will you have the guide/Cheats for the werewolves out? I looked for cheats everywhere but can't find any. If anyone knows any can you let me know?
Thank you, Carl.
can't wait for your guide
Hope they add the disable outside world feature to the Vampires GP in an update or refresh. Great video and overview as always!
This is very exciting! Innovating gameplay with high production quality is all we need to have some fun! And it looks like it might be public soon!
TYVM for all the info cut down into a short video. I love that they added more to Werewolves then was in the past pack. I'm totally looking for playing this pack myself (have asked for it for some times on the FB page).
im so excited for this pack actually i really hope it doesnt immediately break upon release 😭😭 the wolves looked a little wonky to me at first but they're really growing on me
Oh, how nice to watch this while I’m on break 😂😂
I yet again am way to excited for this to come out IDK just the fury feature the lore, greg... all that fun stuff.
You've been Missed!!!
I am glad they actually spent some time with Lore. I wish they would be more consistent with the whole series but that might be asking a lot
I am currently considering buying the pack. I like the idea of a dystopian-ish world. I have tried to do dystopian gameplay and it was a struggle to get immersion even with the use of mods and CC. This pack may help. I have to say though that I don't like the look of the werewolves at all. To me they look like humans in costumes, whereas I always imagined them either being a freakish hybrid (for that some human facial features have to shine through) or completely wolf.
After watching several LPs, I’m really impressed with Werewolves! It seems to work well, has interesting things to do. I like the variety of aspirations and the power system. I’m not an occult player really, I don’t even own Vampires, but will buy it along with Werewolves because it’s fun to have them as a part of the Werewolf pack. (I have the Magic pack…forget what it’s called…I guess that shows you how much I’ve played it, lol.) So glad that we can paint, and do a lot in CAS to make werewolves look different from one another. I LOVE the build/buy items!!! I love to play Rags to Riches in the Sims, and the broken down stuff is great for that! (I’m not a builder but I’m sure there will be a lot of houses and other things created by people with actual building skills that I can get on the gallery.) Thanks for the review, Carl!
Can't wait for carl to get his hands on this expansion to tell us his firsthand experience
Werewolves! Are amazing!
Forgotten Hollow 🤝 Moonwood Mill - Meant to be isolated, yet all these random sims are here
You’re the best!!!
This pack looks great, I was worried the most about werewolves being lack luster like mermaids and only for the aesthetic. But the gameplay of the occult looks more immersive I like that stuff is locked behind gameplay :) makes you want to work towards stuff it's great. So excited for this.
CARL !!!!!!!!! so good to see you back for some sims i realy do hope we see more of you again, you are for most of us the ONLY sims reviewer we can realy trust the opinion of , and your guides are the best by far, I found some old sims 3 packs the other day but my laptop will only handle 3 so after installing the base game and generations i watched your reviews of the other packs i had, and went with ambitions. Thanks you for all the years of hard work you have put in to help the sims community , it realy is very much needed AND appreciated Carl
I have missed your videos
It's the first pack in a long time I feel I want to get, it's like Vampires but with options to turn off if you want.
The pack actually looks fun. I love the idea of the moon phase, but I just can't get over how ugly the werewolf looks.
Thank you Carl the master of finding out the best way to do everything 😂😳😳😂
Carl you're back!!!! That's awesome! My favorite WT* moment is figuring out from where the werewolf pulls out his cell phone while nude after night rampaging ( yeeeeeaaaaahhhhh )
Sorry if you mentioned this on twitter or anything but will you be making a guide on the werewolves DLC? Thank you!
Body Scars are so nice since I recreated most of the Katawa Shoujo cast and 2 of them (Hisao and Hanako) have some sort of scarring and I hope they expand of that since they don't have a middle of a chest single scar Also Moonwood Hill reminds me of "Babylon" in Zombieland 2
Hey Carl ! That's a great video ! Thanks for all the details and your honesty ! I agree With the fact that they should've made a better animation while going downstairs, it looks a bit ridiculous, the transition and the walk style for werewolves is the only thing that I'm not happy about, I love the vibes of moonwoodmill, I'll do some urbex there 😆
Hello how are you doing... nice getting to meet you
I still say they look like a cross between the Werewolf from the Spooky Godmother movie and a Lynx/Bobcat fursuit, its just so hard to take them seriously. The mechanics seem pretty fun though, hopefully a mod will come out to make the models look like respectable werewolves
