Okay, here’s the no-fluff version I use when my werewolf Sim goes off the rails — there isn’t a single special “remove curse” cheat tucked neatly in the console for 'The Sims 4' 'Werewolves' the way there is for some other things, but you absolutely can strip a Sim of their werewolf status using built-in editing and a few community-friendly methods.
First method that’s safe and simple: enable cheats (Ctrl+Shift+C → type testingcheats true), then type cas.fulleditmode. After that, Shift+click your Sim and pick 'Edit in CAS'. In CAS you can change the Sim’s occult/species settings back to human or simply remove the werewolf-related traits and appearance. This effectively removes the curse and all wolf powers, though relationships, memories, or story-driven things tied to pack membership may still feel a bit odd afterward. Always make a save backup before editing — CAS edits are powerful and sometimes weird things happen.
If you prefer not to touch CAS, community mods like MC Command Center offer options to change a Sim’s life state or occult type without the sometimes awkward CAS edits. Mods can also let you remove buffs or reset pack membership more smoothly. Whatever route you pick, remember to save first, expect some lost-of-story consequences (no more howling at full moon!), and enjoy the clean slate — I always feel oddly relieved when I cure a Sim of their curse, like closing a chaotic chapter in a favorite fanfic.

I get a real kick out of tinkering with supernatural sims, so here’s the short version from my experience: you can manipulate a lot in 'The Sims 4' werewolf setup, but the built-in cheats don’t give a single, neat ‘‘press this cheat and you’re in full-moon wolf form’’ toggle for every scenario. In practice I’ve used testingcheats and CAS editing to change a Sim’s werewolf traits and appearance, and that can let me prep a Sim so they’ll look and act how I want when the game triggers a transformation.
What I like doing is enabling testingcheats, using CAS full edit to tweak fur, eyes, and rank, and then nudging gameplay with interactions that push a Sim toward transformation. There are also buff-manipulating console commands that experienced players use to force transformation states, but those sometimes require knowing specific buff names or relying on community guides. For reliable, easy control — like making a Sim transform into full-moon form on command for a photoshoot — I usually install a targeted mod or a utility mod; those give much cleaner, predictable control than piecing together stock cheats.
So: yes, you can influence and sometimes force transformations with cheats if you’re willing to dig a bit, but for straightforward, repeatable full-moon control I reach for mods. I still love the way the default system surprises me during storytelling, though — it keeps things dramatic.

If you've poured dozens (or hundreds) of hours into a single legacy file, I get why this question hits a nerve — I treat my legacies like living family trees. In my experience, using built-in cheats in 'The Sims 4' for the 'Werewolves' pack is generally safe if you stick to the game's native console commands and take sensible precautions. The biggest risk isn't the cheat itself so much as unexpected interactions: long-running households accumulate lots of relationships, custom content, and hidden states, and fiddling with occults or major traits can occasionally leave odd leftovers (weird moods, stuck animations, or changed relationships). I once toggled a trait and had a sim lose a career flag; a simple reload to a backup fixed it, which is my main point — always back up first.
In practical terms I recommend duplicating the save folder (or using the in-game 'Save As' to create a branch) before trying anything experimental. Turn on cheats with the usual method, use the simplest commands you need, and save frequently. If you use community mods or script mods alongside cheats, make sure those mods are updated to the current game version: outdated script mods are far more likely to corrupt or destabilize an old legacy than the official cheats. Finally, if you do run into weirdness, removing recent mods, clearing caches (like localthumbcache.package), and reverting to the pre-cheat backup usually sorts things out. I treat cheats like a scalpel — precise, useful, and best used with steady hands and a spare copy of the save. It saved one of my favorite legacies more than once, so I stay cautious but not paranoid.
