I definitely have hope that the werewolf we see in the cover image (and the larger, more HD version) is just the tip of the iceberg and not all there is to offer as far as options go yet. Plus since the pack's not even out yet, there's still a possibility that this isn't even the "final" product and could be slightly tweaked by the time we actually get the pack. So I'm not too worried, and all and all I'm pretty happy with what the werewolf form looks like.
SimGuruBat is working heavily on this pack, and I know she is an occultist sims player and lover - so my hopes are high that we'll get some decent customization with the werewolf. Granted, they probably should've picked a more menacing looking werewolf for the cover art render... but I'm hoping.

Oh really? Bat is working on this pack? That definitely gives me hope then!
The cover werewolf does look a little... off, to me. In some ways though, this is probably the best I could hope for and I mean that honestly and not cynically. Something more monstrous would have been a lot of new work and not very likely. It's a bit goofy, but that's par for the course for Sims 4, and as much as I'm not always for the style of Sims 4, I am for consistency. This doesn't really draw me in, but it doesn't drive me off either. Depending on the actual details of the pack, I might pick this up.
From what I'm seeing and from a couple of polls it's it's pretty evenly split.
It wasn't exactly what I pictured in my head. I wanted huge snarling beasts. But you know what, they're growing on me. Realistically we weren't going to get that. It's not in keeping with the style or graphics of the Sims. What they produced looks really good. For those who are disappointed, sleep on it and try again tomorrow with an open mind. They could have been far worse.
One thing that I have learned with this game, or well... things in general is to never judge a book by it's cover. I have been positively surprised by things that Maxis have released before.
It's too easy sometimes to fall into negative feelings about something that you have not seen how it works or looks in the game.

I never really had negative feelings about it. Not in the I hate this, it's garbage way. It was that momentary letdown that it wasn't perfect. But when I looked again and at a better pic I realized it wasn't perfect, but I was perfectly happy with it.
I was one of the ones who got all carried away with constructing our collective ultimate werewolves. I took it further by getting too excited and getting kind of emotionally caught up in the excitement. Now that I've had a chance to view the cover art in the best possible circumstances I really do love them.
Just a friendly reminder that neither this cover art
Nor this one
we’re good indications of how dark CAS would let you go. They seem to deliberately showcase the most friendly options on the cover. The rest is up to us.
Edit to add: that RoM cover is where my love of Morgyn started. But Morgyn in game is not quite like this. Thus, my tweaking in CAS.

Our Sims aren't three dimensional, but they are closer to it than the cover art. There is depth, and scale to sims in the world that cover art can not match and it does have a big effect on how something looks. To me the cover art is what is says it is, art. A drawing. Sims, even though they themselves are a form of art, a form of a drawing, they have a more real feel that I'm sure will make the wolf form look a whole lot better than that drawing does.

Yeah, the vampire cover doesn’t show the “veins”, dark circles, or the deep/thick brow elements that you can add to the vampires to create different looks and such.
I’ve seen folks get very creative with making supernatural looks like sharp-teethed sirens and some types of fey creatures, etc.

Yeah! I legitimately like the way this werewolf looks. If they add to them, I do hope it is in the form of more options - rather than completely changing what we see in the art. More options is always good.

I think what we're going to see in-game will have that thicker coat that I think so many people want. The muzzles may be more pronounced and they will appear more muscular. Since they went with a female werewolf on the cover they made her less bulky and her wolf features got toned down too.

Greg is probably our werewolf Vlad, with a backstory and become a potential mentor or leader of the werewolf ways, or is just someone who can bite and infect the player characters.
I'm reserving judgement on the look of werewolves until we actually see them in game, the artwork is just artwork and doesn't even really look like the game tbh. I expect they'll have similar customisation to pets though so we could probably easily make them look more menacing and less like a lynx and more like a wolf
They're naked, they're naked and I am so filled with glee! They are NOT a weird hairy human! And they're naked!!!
I know not everyone wants that, but I DID! The only thing I would ever want to put on a werewolf is a hooded cape, or some sort of battle gear.
I am not concerned about how gentle he looks, cause cas. And Maxis has to advertise in a way that can appeal to parents as well. I am sure in cas we will be able to make them look a bit tougher, and darker.. I think those who want nice mama and papa wolfies will be happy with how cuddly they can look.
This was always going to be a Sims werewolf on a Sim frame, not something extremely and alternatively beastly. It’s a great improvement on previous iterations, and probably customizable, so it will be interesting to see what we can do in CAS.
I feel the same way. It isn't the dreaded Sims 3 rehash I was worried about. This fits within what my expectations were.
Okay, the sim is cute, but why does she keep her accessories when she transforms?
I don't think she does. The collar doesn't look the same size.
Features I'd like brought back from the dead.

OMG I see claws! And those gnarly hands!! I so hope that isn't just in the artwork. I love those hands!!

still hoping that the scary factor is only lacking because its cover picture and they didn't want to scare the kids but the option is there in the actual game to make them truly spooky *knocks wood until realizes its the wall of mill house and stops knocking and starts running*
Be not afraid.
I hope it will bring new shorts for male sims, the pants never survive to the transformation.

Oh really? Bat is working on this pack? That definitely gives me hope then!

Yes. She tweeted that she's so hyped for us to see what she's been working on.
