The Sims 4 Werewolves: Fated Mates Explained
Click to enlargeFated Mates are essentially soulmates amongst werewolf sims. You'll get an in-game pop-up when you find your Fated Mate, whether you choose to explore the connection or not is up to you. It is possible to ignore a Fated Mate and romance someone else, your sim may receive negative moodlets and an uncomfortable feeling for doing this, however.
You can activate the Fated Mates status with a sim of your choice by flirting with them first. They must also be a werewolf for this to work. Once they are confirmed to be your mate, they'll get a special icon attributed to them in the sentiment's menu.
Choose wisely as your sim can only have one Fated Mate per save file. Your sims may activate this on their own if free to roam by themselves. If this has happened, or you wish to change your Fated Mate, you will have to do so through cheats.

The Sims 4 Werewolves: Fated Mate Mods

There are options in the modder community for any sims players who want a more realistic approach to Fated Mates. As it stands, the Fated Mates interaction will activate on a successful flirt with another werewolf nearly all the time. The 'Fated Mate its Fate' mod by Zafire, makes it so that any interaction with a sim, whether that be angry or friendly, can activate Fated Mates. This is to make the encounter more random as it would be in werewolf lore. Mods like this also lower the chance for the interaction, making it a rarer occurrence in the game. Currently, a romantic interaction has a 50% chance of triggering the event with the first sim you interact with.
As always, use mods at your discretion as they may impact gameplay and save files. It's also worth noting that achievements and trophies are no longer attainable once mods are added to your game.
