Re: Werewolf are annoying to play

@jordyou23 , like @xochiquetzl_xkvn said, it depends on which temperaments you have . You can have 4 of them at a time (you start with one on a new Werewolf, and get another temperament when you rank up. And there are positive and negative temperaments. The red ones are negative, and they speed up your fury if you do the activities related to those temperaments. A werewolf with the Carnivore temperament will gain fury faster if they eat anything but meat that they hunted (or another household member hunted) so you need to get the ability to hunt for your meals to keep the fury down if you have that temperment! . A werewolf that likes to be clean will gain fury when dirty, but one who hates water can only safely get clean if they groom themselves (so make sure you get that ability if you have that temperament!) 
The blue temperaments are good and can reduce furry when you do the activities related to those temperaments. And there is also a high level ability to change your temperaments if you don't like the ones you currently have. 
But you have to work on your werewolf level to be able to choose that ability! 😉
I tested with the same werewolf family but in different save game files, and one that I had an easy time with became very difficult when I played him in the other save and he had completely different temperaments!
And like @daikoyu mentioned, you can always turn off ageing if you want to try to get all the traits in a lifetime. Also, you can play on a long-lifespan if you already are not doing so, to give yourself extra time! Finally, you can also use the Aspiration Reward potion that ages you down to the beginning of your current life stage, so that you have extra time if you want to keep ageing on in your game! 😎
@jordyou23 , I do understand your reason not to like the lack of control with Werewolves. To be honest, I was a bit surprised that you could transform when it wasn't a full moon. However, just like @daikoyu mentioned, I enjoy the challenge! 😉 It makes for some interesting stories for my Sims, makes them feel more unique, and provides challenging gameplay more like the kind of gameplay we had in general with the Sims 1, Sims2, and Sims3!
Not every gameplay mechanic will be for every player. Some people don't care for the Fame system in Get Famous, or playing with pets in Cats & Dogs, while other people have these as their favorite features.😅 But I wouldn't give up yet until you try some of the werewolf traits that you can choose to help you control your werewolf. Some, (such as Will to Resist which sometimes let you overcome your fury and return to human form) can be chosen when you gain points towards your Werewolf abilities. Others like Werewolf Empathy, (which lets you calm other Werewolves down) are hidden abilities and can only be found when you do certain things in the game. But it is the Werewolf Empathy trait that all of the members of the Volkov household have (those are the Leader of the Moonwood Collective and his adopted son, and an elderly woman. (I'm not sure if Wolfgang who is also a member of this pack has this ability or not because he does not live with the other members, so I have not played him yet.) So, the entire Volkov household can instantly quell your fury, so this sounds like you would prefer to befriend this family , or else play as them, or you can work your way to gaining the Werewolf Empathy ability yourself. 🥰
Also, you will want to try to gain some blue temperaments as they reduce fury!😇
@daikoyu , I hope they don't nerf these temperaments either! I find them fun to figure out, and they can also interact with the other temperaments to make interesting situations. I had one werewolf that started out with the Hates Being Wet temperament (like the Sim you mentioned) but also later developed the Needs to be Clean temperament, making me choosing the Groom Self trait a no-brainer since it was essential for her to be happy! 🤣
