.:More Werewolf Bites:.

.:Feeling Bity? Express yourself~

∆•∆•∆•∆•∆

Werewolves are a joy to play with. They're chaotic, goofy, and all the things I love about how the sims series handles occults ever since The Sims 3. 

In fact to me they're damn near perfect at a glance but a couple things make them even better. This mod hopes to do just that by adding a little more bite back into how you play with your wolves. 

Personally I love wreaking things as a werewolf, and I also like wreaking other sims as a werewolf. What I don't like is having the direct consequences of my actions thrown back into my face 

The werewolf game pack offers ONE bite interaction which is first of all, through a perk system, and second, renders every sim it's preformed on to be forcefully turned into a werewolf.  It's fine on a surface level, that being if you want your town overrun with new werewolves against your will whom of which you can never bite again. But to some I can imagine this isn't preferred, especially with how often the community vocalizes not wanting their towns overrun with other occults...As an occult simmer myself even I roll my eyes at the idea. How else can my coven or pack be top dog?

And so this is where my mod comes in. All bite with none of the hassle of worrying about turning sims into wolves. And as per usual my flavour text through various buffs to add some story telling elements~

I'm really proud of this mod and in fact, this is the first mod where managed to sit down, code, and get it working all myself. It was a joy to see it preform as expected practically first try as my other mods, even the small ones are usually a torturous process to get working...

And that makes it an even more fitting send off as my ideas for mods are coming to an end....I will look after the ones I have up but atm I'm thinking of stepping back from any new projects regarding such. More on that...Soon 👁️

But anyhow enough yapping on my end. Let's get onto the details now shall we?

∆•∆•∆•∆•∆

.:Details~

THIS MOD REQUIRES THE XML INJECTOR BY SCUMBUMBO TO FUNCTION

The mod will contain the following edits to your werewolf sims:

∆ 5 new werewolf bite interaction! >> Each interaction has varying buffs and will not require any additional werewolf skills or perks to activate. You can start your rabid, tooth filled, chaos rampage fresh out of Create a Sim! Additionally, and most importantly, none of these new bites will turn sims into werewolves making them able to be bitten at again, and again, and again. 

But that's not all, cause now other werewolves aren't safe either! Much like some lore allowing vampires to bite other vampires I say let there be wolf on wolf war as well! Werewolves will not only be able to bite sims but other wolves too, no mater how ferocious they appear!

And not ONLY can wolves bite other wolves but they can do such in their human forms as well! It honestly makes for interesting screenshots to see a seemingly regular sim take a chunk out of the furry beasts imo as you can see above in the promo pics~

I very much dislike a lot of restrictions the game has on things like this so I say not anymore. Have at it, especially with the chaotic nature of werewolves.

Such interactions are as followed:

• Aggressively Bite: If your werewolf is having a bad day, EVERYONE is having a bad day.  And this type of bite makes sure of that.

>> Found under Mean > Malicious. Gives the Werewolf an Angry Buff and the Victim an Angry Buff and Uncomfortable Buff

• Territorial Bite: It's yet another painful way to say 'I like this person', with maybe a little hint of something more~

 >> Found under the Werewolf Pie menu. Gives the Werewolf a Confident Buff and the Victim a Dazed Buff and Fine Buff

• Playful Bite: You know how you're playing with a puppy and it gives you a little accidental nip reminding you there's still a 10, 000 year old set of wolf genes in there ? Now imagine that but on an overjoyed, seven foot monster dog who doesn't know their own strength....Yikes 

>> Found under Funny > Silly Behavior. Gives the Werewolf a Playful Buff and the Victim 2 Tense Buffs 

• Ferocious Bite: Sometimes you just want to snap at others. And I don't mean it metaphorically, or rhetorically, or poetically, or theoretically, or any other fancy way....I mean SNAP, Straight. Up.

>> Found under the Werewolf Pie menu. Gives the Werewolf an Angry Buff and the Victim a Scared and Uncomfortable Buff

As a bonus this interaction is available on rampaging werewolves so you can go around biting the whole town without cursing them to the same fate as you~

• Flirty Bite: If the sims team can tease heat dynamics, then so can I

>> Found under Romance > Affection. Gives the Werewolf a Flirty Buff and the Victim 2 Flirty Buffs

∆ All interactions lack a cooldown meaning you can spam bite sims that really get your mini goat...Looking at you Nancy

∆ Each bite has an additional affect on the victim where bitemarks will be left on their arm, the same as the cursed bite interaction. Bitemarks will show on sims for the length of the buff duration (said buff has a bandage icon and varies in length) adding more storytelling tidbits. Some the sim's arm will glow, again like the original interaction but this will not turn the targeted sim. So be mindful of what types of bites you use on strangers....Or don't. Surprises are fun after all ;)

.:How to Install

This mod has 2 versions. Choose only ONE to drop into your mod folder.

• The original MoreWerewolfBites.Package is for those who do NOT want NPC sims using these autonomously

• The Autonomy Package allows all sims to use these interactions **See changelog

• The Gameplay Spoilers folder is simply a collection of images showcasing the custom buffs this mod adds. It contains spoilers for mood effects, buff strength, and their in game descriptions. Please do not add this folder into your mods folder

.:Change Log

.:∆LAST UPDATED June 4th 2024∆:.

∆ Fixed crucial issue where some selected sims wouldn't show interactions when clicking on themselves or others. Please delete any old files of the mod and redownload!

∆Old Updates∆

∆ Various code cleanup and autonomy tweaks

∆ The Aggressively Bite interaction can now be used during rampage

∆ Added a new version of the mod as per request that allows NPC sims to use these actions autonomously as well as some tests for specific interactions

• Romantic Bite should only be used autonomously by flirty sims

• Aggressively Bite and Ferocious Bite should only be used autonomously by sims who are not in a good mood such as happy or flirty AND should be disallowed autonomously by good and loyal sims and the like

∆ The original file has not been touched and has no autonomy active so be mindful of that. The changes in the new file should NOT affect player use (e.g. you should still be able to use the mean bites when flirty/in other moods and vice versa) 

∆ Bugs

• None Known

∆ Conflicts

• To allow the aggressive and ferocious bite interactions to show while rampaging I had to override the in game werewolf buff (285810 buff_Werewolf_Rampage). Unfortunately, any other mod that edits this same buff will now conflict with this mod.

  Upon searching it luckily seems that there aren't many people messing with this buff to inject interaction on rampaging wolves, so the chance of coming across a conflict is rare. However in case you do, a workaround is simply injecting my interactions into the altered buff from another mod using The Sims 4 Studio, and it should still work fine. See the Read Me file in your download for more info

.:Special Thanks

Despite me creating this mod and the first mod I'm releasing all on my own, I'd be nowhere without help from the sims modding community <3 Their patience and direct help has allowed me to get to the point where I can proudly say I have a self created mod to my name. 

And as always, thank you for downloading and showing interest in my sim projects. I hope you enjoy~
