Werewolves confirmed?

[jupitershana]

Werewolves!!! Could it be true? This is going to make the Pet expansion very interesting!

I'm really excited about this pack. I just watched a game play where the dog started chasing his tail, then caught his reflection in the mirror and started barking at himself. I love it!

Anyway, here is an part of the article on Gamespy: Full Article (http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/the-sims-2-pets-/729769p1.html)

Bad Moon Rising

The new pack is accompanied by a whole new series of wants and fears associated with animals. Family-oriented Sims really want their pets to like them. Business-oriented Sims immediately want to get their animals into the workforce (you can hire out your animals as guard dogs or even TV stars). And most Sims fear wolves.

Yep, wolves! Stray animals will occasionally wander though the yard, which is a great way to adopt new furry friends into the family. But not everything is warm and fuzzy in the animal kingdom: Wolves with glowing eyes will occasionally make nocturnal visits to your happy home, frightening your Sims. (Yet, for some reason, befriending my cat in one instance.) We weren't able to test this feature out ourselves, but supposedly a wolf bite could lead to an acute case of lycanthropy for your Sims. Yep: Werewolves!

Which begs the obvious question: What if an alien werewolf mates with a vampire robot? I guess we'll have to wait for the final release (currently scheduled for this October) to find out.

Haha. That's cool - I can't wait until this expansion now (yes, I have cracked from my previous comments - darn you Maxis and the adorable pets:p).

Having werewolves will add some much needed character to my vampire families and create some rather interesting album entries.

I'm not sure I'm that thrilled about having wolves wandering around my sims properties scaring them.
I hope a fence will keep the pesky lupine (and strays of course) at bay. Anyone know how the werewolf thing actually works for the sims? Are they normal during the day and only werewolf at night or do they remain werewolves all the time like the vampires...having to deal with everyday sim life even though they're undead?

I have no idea. I bet you could put a gate around your house and lock it to allow only the household...I hope so. If they don't include that, I'm breaking my no-mod policy and downloading one--I'm sure the modders over at MTS2 would make one right away.

I haven't been playing TS2 as much lately, and I'm kind of guilty about wanting to buy a new EP right away when I know I won't be playing as much. There are just so many more priorities now...SATs, mid-terms, Algebra, and now my almost incapacitating urge to write as much as possible.

Oops, that kind of belongs in the So, What's New? thread. Anyway, this EP is REALLY EXCITING ME! Agh, I'm totally making a schauz-labra-cocka-puggle-spaniel for my sim-self first thing.

I also hope you share your stories with us. If it's not a sim related story you can share it with us in the Fan Fiction/Art part down in the General forum. :) (Actually, I suspect all of our stories are supposed to be down there but Josh has been kind to us.)

And now that I know about the werewolves in this EP, I'm going to have to get it.:rolleyes:

A-woooo!!! Werewolves of Simtown! Awooooo!!!

I can see them stalking through the forests in Lynet's story already.

I second the motion, 123. If you succeed in making such a beast I want to see it.

Witch Baby wants to make a guinea pig (womrat?) named Cuddles for her vampire. :D

I just want to find out if you can make your own animal skins. You know, a real calico cat and gingham dog. Or perhaps a purple parrot with pink spots.
