Opinions on Werewolf Appearances?

What no tails! Just kidding I can overlook that. A tail would been nice but no problem but do these Werewolves follow lore such as reaction to anything silver and that is no problem as well, I am just glad to have wolves in the game.
They honestly look like the kinds of anthropomorphic cartoon characters that'd serve as an educational vehicle. Right after they fight, they'll "school" you on saving planet earth.
I'm done. I can't.
First of all... 1,000,000 times better than the werewolves in Sims 3. But they didn't have to try hard to get over that bar.
Personally, I prefer werewolves that transform into actual real wolves (in terms of appearance), so I wanted them to become animals that look like actual wolves. But that's just me, I suspect, and I did not at all expect that to actually happen.
For how they do look... they're growing on me. I'm not wild about the human style legs, especially when I saw the first image that was basically nude. Too unnervingly like a human in a costume. But when I saw the trailer, where the werewolves all have clothes on, I liked the look a lot better. So I'll be over here in the "totally clothed" (at least on the bottom half) camp.
It looks like there will be enough customization for their face features that I'll be able to make werewolves I like the looks of. I can work with this. I suspect I will have a lot of fun making them.
As for the cartoony art style, I'm totally fine with this. I love the art style of Sims 4, and I definitely want them to fit in with that aesthetic so they look like they belong in the same world/game as everybody else. So I'm completely happy with that aspect.
I'm very excited about the pack overall, so the werewolf form appearance is only a small part of the equation for me. Since it's customizable, and they can wear clothes, I'm still onboard.
I am the opposite because I love when animals aren't given "feminine" features to make it obvious it's a female animal. Like when a male dog looks like a regular dog but the female dog has breasts and lipstick that make no sense given how actual female cats look. Most animals don't really have any distinct features between male and females. There are some like 🦚 (can't say the actual word) and lions but even then their body shapes are usually the same with the only differences being stuff like fur colour and manes. For wolves male and female ones look virtually the same so I like it that they made the wolf forms look the same for both sim frames.
I agree! You can't really tell the difference between a male and female wolf easily so it makes sense to me. It keeps them more animalistic imo.
One can always choose to make females and males have slight variances when in cas if they wanted to follow suite with animals that do have a variance.
I would hope so. If the males can, why can't the females?

@kaiwrysims 100% agree. Just another way of implying that males are the normal beings and females are less or other. (Imagine if it was always the female animal that was drawn like a regular animal but the male animal was given like a cowboy hat and moustache to show that it was male!) I'm really happy about the androgynous wolves.
I wish they had tails too. But I'm sure some cc creator will come up with beautiful tails if they haven't already.
@Chicklet453681 That's a really good point. If they can do feet in high heels then they could at least get close to the ball-of-foot walk for wolves.
This reminded me of when I was little and when we were out on the road and there was no bathroom my mom would tell me and my sister to squat and pee behind the car door. Might be too tmi but I wonder if I am the only one with that experience lmao 🤣 I also had a weak bladder (and still do) so I always wanted to use the bathroom lol
Actually that's my only complaint... but the opposite. I found the male weres looking too cute and feminine or rather all of them do. (I also kinda found it funny that at least one Simmer here had the "Why do all clothes look feminine" question when it's all traditionally male clothing; I guess "Flannel Shirt" has travelled all the way from Lumber Jack Uniform via Grunge Rock Punk to Lesbian Uniform? For me, who is old (genuinely, I turn 50 in November) the clothes shown is still very much masculine-coded.
Yes, the werewolves are cartoony, but that's TS4. Again, hoping I can toughen them up somewhat in CAS, but I don't want them looking gross-ugly either. Narrower eyes and lower brows would help. From seeing the screenshots, I think we can change the shapes of the eyes, even using paint or makeup to accent them.
For instance, comparing these eyes from werewolf examples, I prefer the first two shapes of eyes rather than the round eyes of the 3rd.
EDIT: Actually, after looking at real wolf eyes, I see they are small and round but tilted, very little white showing. And the low brows and the black markings make them look more almond shaped.
I was going to say the females look too male but after reading your explanation about distinguishing males and females with real animals, I somehow don't mind this one as much anymore. Sure it would be practical for gameplay purposes to see the difference, but it all in all I can live with it.
The customisation can do a lot. I like to have so many options though I think they look a bit better without the clothing. Adding glasses is definitely making them too cutesy.

I think they look a bit too much like furries. If their snouts were more elongated, it would be fine. Maybe we can fix that in CAS?
Overall, they sort of fit in with the cartoony aesthetic of the game. I'll adjust, I always do. I'm still excited .
I will rage if they can't! The pose anyway is more suited for a female canine.

No, it's not you, that was the first thing I noticed when my eyes got up to the head. We can already stretch a sims jaw and mouth forward and elongate the lower portion of their face and give them a really exaggerated underbite. So unless they've modified the current sliders we should be able to make their muzzles longer and wider without much trouble. Head size should be an easy fix too. I don't know if they've got all new sliders for all sims, or if they have a separate set for werewolves or what. Working on their heads is the first thing I want to do when we finally get our hands on the pack.
I tried playing with the furry mod but the lack of facial animations made it impossible for me. It's my little sim using the mod above here, it was so cute but in the long run I just couldn't play even if I liked it so much because it the sim was so wooden. That is just I it felt to me at least. If the sims 4 wolves have animated faces I am a very happy simmer.
If animations for the werewolves blend well with ordinary sims I am glad, and I can always equip a CC-tail because I got other CC for my own imaginary occult states that only exist in my save.
Something that I am wondering is if we will be able to see other sims in the town walking about in their werewolf state? I despise aliens hiding their true selves and use MCCC in order to have aliens walking around looking like themselves, even the townies. Since spellcasters are very good at hiding themselves I wonder how werewolf townies will act. If your played werewolf walks around in fur in the town, will everyone else hid their furry side and just look like regular people.
If werewolf sims walk around with the fur out I assume there will be threads with people complaining that they bought the pack for the grunge items and now there are furries in their normal world. If my werewolf is the only wolf in town and every other occult werewolf is walking around as their human selves this will not be the way I want to play. I want my sims to live in an world with visible occults.
Hoping for visible townie werewolves but looking at MCCC.
I don't think we'll get it, but I would love to have my wolves bulk up when they transform into their wolf form, but not be a hulking mountain of muscles in human form, especially my ladies. Since we can't do that with the vampire normal/dark forms I doubt we'll suddenly gain the ability to have separate bodies sizes for our wolfies. A girl can dream can't she?
Did anybody else hear Jaqen H'ghar or Arya Stark when they read 'A girl'? I heard Arya as I was typing it.
