INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Unzip and put all files ending in ".package" into this folder: 
C:\..\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads
Or if you are a frequent downloader, it might help you organize your downloads better if you created a new folder and named it "Simslice", like this:
C:\..\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads\Simslice

(Note:  The "Downloads" folder is not created when the game is installed, but only when the auto-installer from the game is first used.  So if you don't have this "Downloads" folder or if you are new to downloading, simply create the folder in that location (spelled exactly the same - use the capital "D"))

DESCRIPTION:

Lycanthropy Elixir!

Buy Mode Price:  99
Buy Mode Category:  Miscellaneous -> Parties
Statistics:  Turn Sims into werewolves; Cure werewolves back into Sims

Enabled for use at-home and on all away-from-home lots
Requirements:  The Sims 2 Pets expansion pack, however if you don't have this expansion then this potion is just a tasty beverage that increases Hunger and Fun slightly.

Object Description:

Feeling "left out" by your drooling, howling friends?  Want to start a new 80's hair band with a twist?  Now you can infect yourself with lycanthropy anytime you want.  Take a swig of this special elixir and later each night, let the dashing werewolf inside of you come out and play.  When you've had enough of your animal side, you can cure yourself anytime you choose.  Sims 2 Pets expansion pack required for these features (otherwise, this is just a tasty beverage for your Sims).  Happy hunting!

GAME PLAY INFO:

You must drink the potion BEFORE 8:00pm in order for the transformation to take place after 8:00pm that day.  If you drink it after 8:00pm, you won't turn into a werewolf until after 8:00pm the NEXT day.

You might notice a slight pause in the game when a Sim transforms into a werewolf.  That's normal, it's the way the expansion pack works and the length of the pause can vary from computer to computer but it's always brief.

The bottle should provide your Sims with an endless supply of liquid.

You can click "Info..." in the game to get a few tips about lycanthropy while playing.

Surprise Included:  You know us.  ;)  We probably shouldn't say anything, buuuuut this one may be a bit hard to notice so....... after you take a swig of this elixir while on a residential lot, within a few seconds afterwards you will see a visitor walk by... that visitor is also infected with lycanthropy.  Feel free to befriend your fellow furry friend.  :)  If however there are no other infected Sims in your neighborhood, then no one will walk by.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE SIMS 2 PETS EXPANSION PACK:

Then this potion is just a tasty beverage that slightly increases Hunger and Fun and slightly decreases Bladder (as any tasty beverage should).


LYCANTHROPY (WEREWOLF INFECTION):

The following data was listed in the official Sims 2 Exchange, based on info from The Sims 2 Pets Prima Guide regarding Lycanthropy:

Becoming a werewolf: 

Any teen or older Sim can become a werewolf if he/she becomes infected with lycanthropy, which happens two ways: by receiving the Nibble interaction from the Leader of the Pack or by receiving the Savage interaction from another werewolf Sim.

NOTE: To keep your Sims from becoming werewolves stay away from the Leader of the Pack, you have to have a substantial relationship (Daily and Lifetime above 50) for the Nibble interaction to become available. The Savage interaction is never free will, so you have to direct a Sim to Savage another, meaning that you can keep your game werewolf free if you wish. There are no townie werewolves. 

Being a werewolf: 

The most significant change that comes about happens after 8:00pm every night. During the day werewolf Sims are totally normal, but once the clock strikes 8pm they will turn into a hairy wolf-like being. The most obvious change is the abundance of fur, but there are several other transformations that lycanthropic Sims go through: 

1)  The Hunger Need will drop to -50 causing the Sim to look for food right away.
2)  Their Energy Need will go full green so they can stay up all night without having to sleep.
3)  The longer a Sim remains a werewolf their Personality will start to lean toward the werewolf tendencies, even when they are not in their wolf-like state (see below for Werewolf Personality Traits).
4)  As time goes on the werewolf Sim's Body points will increase to maximum skill level.
5)  Werewolf Sims will have the ability to use the Savage interaction with another Sim if their Relationship is high enough, but in turn that will cause the other Sim to become Furious with the werewolf and damages the relationship score significantly.
6)  You will notice your werewolf Sim has a special loping kind of gait when they walk.
7)  Your Sim will get a special Irritate Social: Grrr! which frightens the receiving Sim so much that they might lose control of their bodily functions and their Fun Need will go down.
8)  Lycanthropic Sims can Howl, which will cause other Sims in the room to lose Comfort and Bladder, possibly peeing their pants and maybe losing Aspiration points if hearing a howl is one of their fears. Sleeping Sims in the room will be awakened and other werewolf Sims on the lot might join your Sim and howl in response.
9)  Having a werewolf as a pet trainer will significantly change the rate that your pets can learn-they will pick things up 25% faster than with a regular Sim. This percentage goes up higher if the werewolf has Charisma points, so having a werewolf Sim with maximized Charisma is the best possible teacher for your pets in training. 
10)  If a burglary occurs and the werewolf attacks the burglar, all items stolen prior to the attack will go into the werewolve's inventory.
11)  Werewolves cannot change their appearance so they cannot use the Change Appearance action on the mirror, or use the Ug-No-More Makeover Station or Cosmetic Surgery Machine.
12)  Werewolves can die in all the same ways a regular Sim can, they have no special powers to stay alive.
13)  A werewolf can also be a vampire and/or zombie (and I think alien too from the chat-although it does not say that in the guide).
14)  Servo can be transformed into a werewolf.
15)  Werewolves can have children but lycanthropy is not passed on genetically so the kids will be regular Sims. 

The Slow Transformation: 

The longer your Sim remains a werewolf, the more their Personality and Body score will change toward the typical werewolf traits.  Body skill 10 (without having to do any exercising!) and max Personality in Outgoing, Sloppy, Playful, Active and Grouchy 
These changes will stay in effect even if the Sim is cured from being a werewolf. For some Sims this will be a good thing and for others, not so much. Some Sims will desire to be cured right away.

NOTE: Getting your werewolf Sim involved in the Athletic, Natural Science, Law Enforcement, Criminal, Military or Show Business careers is a good choice because as their Body skill grows higher and higher they will be very good in those particular fields.

CURING LYCANTHROPY

There is only one way to transform a werewolf Sim back to normal. You must buy the "Lycanthropic-B" potion from the Obedience Trainer, or from the Gypsy Matchmaker if you have Nightlife. The potion costs 60 Simoleans and will stop your Sim from transforming into a werewolf every night, but any personality changes that occurred while they were lycanthropic will remain. 

Werewolf Interactions: 

"Savage": 
Can be imparted:  Teen to Teen or young adult/adult/elder to young adult/adult/elder.
When your Sims turns into a werewolf they can Savage (aka bite) any age appropriate Sim and turn them into a werewolf as well, although this interaction is not autonomous. The interaction will be accepted if Sim B's Mood is less than 0 and will always turn the infected Sim into a werewolf. Once a Sim is bitten they will become Furious with the werewolf who bit them and take a big relationship hit. Servos can also be bitten by werewolf Sims.

"Nibble": 
Can be imparted:  Leader of the Pack NPC to teen/adult/young adult/elder.
Nibble is accepted if Sim B's Mood is less than 0.
