*All werewolf abilities can be unlocked for a single Sim, as they do not conflict with each other.
*Lunar Howl is the only ability which when used, will immediately cause maximum fury and start a rampage.
*If the player has Cats & Dogs installed, pets will count as "scared Sims" for the Transformation Mastery dormant ability and unlike Sims, it is impossible to prevent pets from becoming tense in the presence of a transformed Werewolf, as pets cannot receive the werewolf ally trait through normal means.
*To unlock Werewolf Diplomacy, Werewolves can successfully ask for Werewolf Sympathy from a werewolf ally who is friend to them without the need reach maximum friendship with them, for instance, Celene López.
