Meet the Humans (and Hairy Werewolves) of Moonwood Mill!
The Sims 4 Werewolves comes with one premade family already living in Moonwood Mill, but there are five more households connected to Moonwood Mill that do not live in a home in the world. Most of the town’s residents are, unsurprisingly, werewolves.
So without any further delay, let’s meet the residents of Moonwood Mill!
The Volkov Household
Household Description
Kristopher Volkov has been around longer than most can remember. He founded and leads the Moonwood Collective, and is eager to take in any werewolf feeling displaced or lost.
Lily joined the household long ago, a lonely wanderer who had lost her closest friends to the vampires. After her came Rory, then Jacob. Though Rory’s relationship with her adoptive father has soured, Jacob and Kristopher’s connection has flourished. Both bear the same calm yet intense soul, and everyone in Moonwood Mill knows Kristopher intends for Jacob to be the heir to his pack.

Household Notes
- The Volkov household is the only household that actually lives in a home in Moonwood Mill. All other Sims that come with the pack are homeless townies but the other werewolves in town have rabbithole pack hangouts where it’s assumed they live at.
- Depending on other packs the player owns, the Volkov family may have extra skills, perks, or likes/dislikes. For example, Kristopher comes with Parenting skill, the Wellness like, and a Great Reputation if Parenthood, Spa Day, and Get Famous are installed, respectively. Lily has the Vampire Lore skill if Vampires is installed. Jacob comes with high Character Values if Parenthood is installed.
- Although not mentioned in the household description, Lily reveals through conversation in-game that Caleb and Lilith Vatore from the Vampires game pack are her cousins. They were close friends as children but grew apart when Caleb and Lilith became vampires.
- Rory and Jacob are Kristopher’s children by adoption.
- Although Rory no longer lives with her father and brother, she still has a bedroom in the home that appears to have remained untouched since she left; however, the room has a lot of wall and floor damage from werewolf claw marks. This might indicate that Rory lost her temper and trashed her room before she left and that her father hasn’t tidied up because he still misses her.
The Oaklow Household
Household Description
Most of Moonwood Mill knows Rory as the leader of the Wildfangs, but she first arrived as a confused young werewolf under the care of Kristopher Volkov. He tried to counsel control and to nurture her like one of his garden flowers, but the two grew apart as Rory grew up. His ideals and values stifled her inner wolf until Rory chose to listen to the beast inside her and moved out to form her own pack. Nowadays, Rory may seem like she has it all figured out, but deep down, she’s still discovering how to be the leader she always wished Kristopher could have been.
Rory Oaklow
Age: Young Adult
Occult: Werewolf (Apex)
Career: Freelancer (Undecided Trade)
Aspiration: Renaissance Sim
Walk Style: Swagger
Voice: Melodic
Traits: Self Assured | Ambitious | Hot-Headed | Quick Learner (Bonus)
Skills: Charisma 3 | Dancing 3 | Fitness 9 | Handiness 3 | Knitting 2 | Violin 4
Relationships: Kristopher Volkov – Father | Jacob Volkov – Brother | Lou Howell – Friend | Greg – Despised
Sentiments: Jacob Volkov – Deeply Connected

Werewolf Abilities: Scavenger, Natural Healing, Pack Howl, Curse Bearer, Primal Instincts, Alpha Wolf, Immortal Wolf
Dormant Abilities Unlocked: Werewolf Empathy, Lunar Epiphany, Transformation Mastery
Werewolf Temperaments: Hates Being Wet, Prideful, Restless Animal, Big Bad Wolf
Household Notes
- Rory doesn’t live in a home in the world but it’s assumed she “lives” at the trailer in town that serves as the Wildfangs’ hangout.
- Depending on other packs the player owns, Rory may have extra skills, perks, or likes/dislikes. For example, Rory likes Metal music and Knitting, both of which are part of the Nifty Knitting Stuff pack. She also comes with a Good Reputation if Get Famous is installed.
- The Sims Team stated that they did not have time to implement the newly-introduced pronoun update in the Werewolves game pack so Rory uses she/her pronouns in the game, but many players are in agreement that Rory was originally intended to be non-binary and use they/them pronouns. For this reason, either she/her or they/them pronouns are considered suitable for Rory by the fanbase.
- Although her relationship with her father is strained, Rory still seems to maintain a close relationship with her younger brother. For players wishing to play out a reconciliation arc with these Sims, Jacob may be able to serve as the bridge between Rory and Kristopher.
The Wilder Household
Household Description
Wolfgang has lived in Moonwood Mill for decades, where he’s been documenting the history of werewolves and trying to give them a brighter future. A famous author who specializes in werewolf “fiction,” his books have introduced the idea of the “friendly neighborhood werewolf” into popular culture. Because he uses a pen name, nobody realizes he himself is actually the very thing he champions.
Wolfgang Wilder

Occult: Werewolf (Prime)
Career: Librarian (NPC Role)

Household Notes
- Wolfgang doesn’t live in a home in the world but it’s assumed he “lives” in the hollowed tree outside town that serves as the Moonwood Collective hangout. He can be made playable through marriage or move-in but he will lose his NPC role as a librarian and become unemployed.
- Depending on other packs the player owns, Wolfgang may have extra skills, perks, or likes/dislikes. For example, he dislikes Metal music and Bowling, which are part of the Nifty Knitting and Bowling Night Stuff packs, respectively. He has skill in Vampire Lore, which comes with the Vampires game pack, and he starts out with a Good Reputation if Get Famous is installed.
- Wolfgang is a member of the Moonwood Collective pack, but is also a friend to the Wildfangs’ pack even though he is not personally close with any of the Wildfangs’ members.
The Howell Household
Household Description
Shortly after Lou’s arrival in Moonwood Mill, he tried to impress his date Celene by taunting the town’s notoriously feral werewolf, Greg. His poor decision led to painful consequences for both him and Celene, but while she sought a remedy, Lou figured he could just ride this one out…which didn’t turn out as anticipated. Will this master of mischief learn to love his new inner wolf or will he try and find a way out of the mess he’s found himself in?
Lou Howell
Age: Young Adult
Occult: Werewolf (Pup)
Career: Unemployed
Aspiration: Werewolf Initiate
Walk Style: Swagger
Voice: Clear
Traits: Art Lover | Kleptomaniac | Romantic | Lunar Confidant (Bonus)
Skills: Comedy 3 | Fishing 3 | Fitness 5 | Handiness 2 | Mischief 3 | Singing 2
Relationships: Rory Oaklow – Friend | Greg – Despised
Sentiments: Celene López – Smitten
Likes: Alternative Music, S-Pop Music, Winter Holiday Music, Pink, Black
Dislikes: Painting
Pack Affiliations: Wildfangs (Delta)
Werewolf Abilities: Wolf Nap, Scavenger
Dormant Abilities Unlocked: Werewolf Empathy, Transformation Mastery
Werewolf Temperaments: Night Wolf
Household Notes
- Lou doesn’t live in a home in the world but it’s assumed he “lives” in the trailer in town that serves as the Wildfangs’ hangout.
- Lou’s household bio reveals that he was turned into a werewolf recently while on a date with Celene however, he and Celene are just Acquaintances with no romance bar. He does have the Smitten sentiment with her, though, which indicates he and Celene were not very serious and that date was most likely their first one.
- Depending on other packs the player owns, Lou may have extra skills, perks, or likes/dislikes. For example, he likes S-Pop Music and has the Singing skill, both which come with the City Living expansion pack.
- Although he has the Art Lover trait, Lou dislikes Painting which is an odd choice. He does, however, like many different genres of music and he can sing so his Art Lover trait may pertain more to musical art rather than visual art.
The López Household
Household Description
Ever since she was a little girl, Celene has been fascinated by romanticized tales of lycanthropy. However, she got more than she bargained for while on a midnight date in the woods. Thankfully, she discovered an antidote which prevented her transformation. She’s more cautious now, but her position as the local barkeep gives her a front row view to the wondrous world of werewolves without the risk of injury.
Celene López
Age: Young Adult
Career: Bartender (NPC Role)
Aspiration: Neighbourhood Confidante
Walk Style: Default
Voice: Sweet
Traits: Geek | Neat | Outgoing | Gregarious (Bonus) | Werewolf Ally (Reward)
Skills: Charisma 3 | Cooking 4 | Herbalism 2 | Mixology 7
Relationships: Greg – Despised
Sentiments: Greg – Festering Grudge
Likes: Strange Tunes, Mixology, Blue
Dislikes: Mischief
Pack Affiliations: Friend of the Moonwood Collective, Friend of the Wildfangs
Household Notes
- Celene doesn’t live in a home in the world but there is a communal living space underneath the bar where she works that has bunk beds so one might imagine that’s where she sleeps. She can be made playable through marriage or move-in but she will lose her NPC role as a bartender and become unemployed.
- Celene is the only human “living” in Moonwood Mill and appears to be on good terms with all of her werewolf neighbours, except for Greg, who bit her while she was exploring the woods on a date with Lou. She was able to find a cure for herself before she became a werewolf and will now help the player cure themselves of Lycanthropy if they ask her about it at the bar.
- Depending on other packs the player owns, Celene may have extra skills, perks, or likes/dislikes. For example, she has the Herbalism skill which comes with the Outdoor Retreat game pack and she likes Strange Tunes music, which comes with the StrangerVille game pack.
- Even though Lou has the Smitten sentiment with Celene, she has no romantic sentiments towards him, no romance bar, and no indication that their date ever went further into a committed relationship, so it seems as if Lou’s affections for Celene are one-sided.
Greg
Household Description

(We don’t talk about Greg… BUT…)
Greg
Age: Adult
Occult: Werewolf/Mooncaster (Apex)
Career: Unemployed (Town Menace, perhaps???)

Werewolf Temperaments: Prideful, Restless Animal, Territorial, Wolf Brain
Household Notes
- Greg doesn’t live in a home in the world but there is a secluded trailer on the edge of town where he is supposed to reside. He only spawns when Sims examine the warning signs posted outside his trailer and will almost always attack any nearby Sims on sight.
- Greg is a “secret” townie in the game, meaning he can only be spawned under particular circumstances and he will not be available to edit in the Manage Households menu. The only way to edit Greg is to make him playable via cheats or mods and manually add him to your household.
- Greg is considered a “lone wolf” and hates all the other werewolves in town. Players aspiring to become a master lone wolf themselves will have to eventually win in a brawl against Greg.
- Through researching the local lore in the game, players will discover that Greg’s full name is Greggorius Lunvik and he was one of the original Mooncasters (Spellcasters who had wolf familiars and derived their powers from them, eventually taking on their wolf’s characteristics and becoming the first werewolves). His wolf familiar was named Brutus.
- Greg is a widower who was once married to a woman named Avalina Lunvik. His wedding ring is the only item of clothing he still wears while in his wolf form.
