He/him, 30s, Main blog is @tearlessrain, I interact from there. I make Maxis Match TS4 CC, mostly CAS genetics and accessories with a fantasy or kink theme (or both). Some of my content is 18+ or requires 18+ mods, and my blog contains links to NSFW websites. This is not a minor-friendly space. I won't block minors who interact with my individual SFW posts as they get reblogged around the sims community, but I will block any I notice following this blog.
All screenshots are taken in-game and unaltered. I don’t use reshade, filters, or renders to showcase my work and do my best to present everything accurately to how it will actually look and function in the game.
All CC I make is free, I don’t do paywalls, early access, or ads. While I do have a paid tier on patreon and support is deeply appreciated, it's mainly a tip jar and the closest I get to exclusive content is the occasional NSFW WIP that I can't post for free.
If my content shows up anywhere that isn’t listed below, it’s not me and it’s not supposed to be there.
I don't use AI or support the use of AI. Everything that doesn't use Maxis textures is hand painted.
I do not take commissions; this is just a thing I do for fun and I'd like to keep it that way.

FAQ (please read before sending an ask):
General Questions
Is [x] coming out soon?
I have no idea. This entirely a hobby for me, I'm not a Content Creator™ and don't release on a schedule, I'm just some guy who makes cc when I can't find what I need anywhere else, for fun. Sometimes I'll finish an entire piece of cc in three days, sometimes I'll start something and either forget about it or lose interest for five months before I pick it up and finish it. I have no answer to this question that will satisfy you.
Will you make [x]?
If I am, you'll hear about it in WIP posts, otherwise I don't know. I don't take requests and mainly just make whatever I feel like making, but I do post WIPs frequently so scroll through the blog and you'll get some idea of what's in the chute.
Will you modify this cc from another creator and/or combine it with this other cc from a different creator and/or make it compatible with your cc?
No, I don't mess with other peoples' work or publish anything that isn't either Maxis-based or made from scratch, unless given explicit permission or collaborating. It just feels disrespectful as hell to me and also I'm not a phone repair mall kiosk for random cc. Ask the original creator.
Will you add the feline body parts/skins/etc to werewolves? Will you make cc that turns werewolves into cats?
No, I don't have any personal interest in turning the werewolves into other animals. Even if I were interested in making werecats, to do it well would be a huge project that would require changes to the meshes, animations, sounds, and in-game flavor text, and even one of those things is more work than I care to do for something I would never use and have no interest in. I already have my cat people and I like the in-game werewolf lore, so I prefer to use my limited time/energy to make cc for werewolves as werewolves. I'm sure eventually someone will make a werecat mod but that person will not be me.
The werewolf skins are invisible/missing!
I know. It's a bug with the latest game patch and not caused by my cc. I do not have some magical power to fix vanilla game bugs, I'm a cc maker not a TS4 dev.
How the hell do you pronounce Each Uisge? What does it mean? Why this?
It's approximately pronounced "ekh-ooshka" and comes from scottish gaelic, and it's essentially another term for a kelpie.
DigiLegs
Will you make a version of the legs that doesn't need Wicked Whims?
They already don't need Wicked Whims if you only want to use them as pants/shoes. Wicked Whims just allows them to be set as default nude body parts so the sims will stay digitigrade while bathing/wine stomping/otherwise undressing from the waist down.
Will you change the legs in CAS from pants to leggings/socks/skin detail/accessories so they can be used with more clothes?
No, that's not how that works, there's a reason the cc description contains both a disclaimer that the legs aren't compatible with vanilla clothing and a link to the digitigrade clothing index. If I could do that they wouldn't need Wicked Whims for full functionality. Here is an explanation of how clothing and WW body parts work in TS4.
These are too complicated to use.
Then don't use them, I'm not the only person who's made satyr cc.
Tech Support
If you've installed my cc and it isn't showing up:
Make sure you have mods/cc enabled
Make sure it's less than five folders deep in your mod folder
Check for conflicts by removing other mods/starting a clean save and see if it shows up then
If none of the above work, you're better off checking modding forums than asking me for help, as this isn't a problem I can reproduce on my own computer (since I wouldn't have uploaded the cc if it wasn't showing up for me) and I have no way of knowing your specific setup, and there are a lot of different potential causes.
If you're using the digi legs and the ankles are broken:
Make sure you've set both the legs and the feet to a digitigrade body part.
Make sure you haven't put vanilla pants/fullbody clothing on your digitigrade sim (check the directory above for clothing that fits the digi mesh). Vanilla tops are fine with them. Vanilla pants and skirts will break them.
If one of my body parts is showing up as something it isn't, please let me know, because that potentially means I fucked something up with the categories or xml and need to fix it.
If a link on one of my cc posts is broken:
Make sure you're following the link from the original post. Sometimes I need to move something or reorganize my SFS folder arrangement if a piece of cc gets more complex (and some very old ones where I linked to the file instead of a folder, which breaks the link with every update to the cc).
If it's broken on my blog though, I 100% screwed up and you should let me know so I can sort it out.
Hello! I wanted to ask if it would be okay to convert your cc to other games?
I'd prefer that you didn't. particularly if the game you're thinking of is Paralives, because I'll likely be doing that myself once the game has cooked a little longer.
what do you thunk about paralives. i think paralives has great potential and i think i will be enjoying it a lot more than the sims after they fix a lot of the bugs. They also seem to be genuinely listening to player feedback, even though early access just opened. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on paralives and if you will consider playing it!
(My original question was whether you were interested in making your cat sim content for paralives, but i realized that was really presumptuous lol and that even if that was something youd be interested in, it's been out for like 2 days so how would you even know if youd really enjoy it enough to mod it? Anyway. Thank you for sharing your mods with us)
looks neat, I'm waiting for it to cook a little longer before I jump on board because I am not an early adopter kinda guy, but I'm excited about official modding support.
hi! im curious what mods you might be working on/what you want to mod next. i see that steeds of skyrim there are still some things youre working on. thank you for making all these mods btw i really value the time you put in to them
I make no promises or predictions about future or current projects, anon, this is just a thing I do for fun and the only realistic answer I can give is "whatever I feel like working on at any given time."
i wish i had an ounce of the confidence that people who ask me to completely change huge swaths and fundamental parts of my mod to fit their visions for them had.
to be clear any horse can do dressage. I do dressage on a stocky little haflinger. people do dressage on fjords and quarter horses and clydesdales. but the thing about dressage is that it's supposed to work with the natural frame/movement of the horse, and non-warmbloods tend to suffer in competitions because they don't naturally move like warmbloods, and most judges only know how to judge warmbloods. even a lot of warmbloods don't move like "high level" dressage horses because what they're doing is not actually natural or healthy. which sucks and we need to just rethink how we're judging dressage competitions from the ground up and get less exclusive about it.
One wants to see shadowmere as some elegant wb horse that you would see doing old school dressage.
The other wants a huge monstrosity of a horse made out of shadows with fangs
see that's why I'd go with an iberian type conformation, that's what you want for classical dressage instead of a warmblood. lusitano shadowmere would slap.
(but that being said, as my avatar probably indicates, I prefer big eldritch horror shadowmere above all else)
ironically even if I wanted to I couldn't make Shadowmere a friesian, because friesians are so weird-looking there's no way to fit one on a rig designed for a normal draft horse and have it still look anything like a friesian.
Different innocent bystander, but I would like to know your opinions of fresians
so to start with I'm opposed to breeding them at all at this point without major changes to how we do it; they're all severely inbred because of a genetic bottleneck in the 1900s and the obsession with breeding out every color but black (which is why I strongly feel that including color in a breed standard should be disallowed completely, all it does is worsen inbreeding with no benefit to the animal), so health issues are rampant in the breed, and because they're so popular there are a lot of breeders who are producing genetic disaster animals with horrible conformation that only look fancy if you know nothing about horses. so ethically, much like bulldogs I just don't think they should still exist. there's nothing they can do that another breed can't do as well or better, except maybe flounce around with exaggerated unnatural-looking gaits, and breeding an animal solely for looks never ends well.
my other issue is that they're so wildly over-represented in both fantasy and, for some reason, historical fiction. despite what poorly researched listicles online will tell you, friesians in their modern form were not a thing in medieval times. no modern horse breeds were a thing, because that's not how horse types were defined in the middle ages; they were bred for function and outcrossing with horses from other regions to bring in desired traits was a regular thing, so the extreme typing you see in modern friesians and a lot of other breeds would have been absent; compared to the average person's expectations medieval horses would have been fairly small and plain-looking (you see this in a lot of contemporary breeds, not even just with horses. unnecessary extreme typing has become a real problem and we frankly need to rethink the entire way we're currently breeding animals). a lot of the more highly-valued horses were Spanish in origin and the ancestors of modern iberian breeds like the andalusian and lusitano. according to some sources the precurser to the friesian looked more like a paso fino. but friesians are built like a 90s barbie horse and have big ridiculous gaits and long flowing manes, so they look superficially like what most people think knights should have been riding, so they keep showing up in media even when it makes no goddamn sense and another breed would have been a far better fit. and every time a movie or show throws in an Anachronistic Friesian I die a little inside (even Black Sails, a show I love, is guilty of this. where the FUCK did Flint get a friesian in the Caribbean. the new Witcher game is also doing it and I'm so annoyed because on a technical level it looks like a stunning horse and a really impressive bit of rendering but then they wasted all that effort and realism on a friesian).
If you made shadowmere a Fresian I would love you for 1000 years
ah, so, uh. I won’t blast you full force with all my opinions about friesians here because you’re an innocent bystander, but suffice to say friesians will not be making an appearance in any horse mods I make, I’m not a fan of them.
if I were to give Shadowmere a unique model it would probably be based on a lusitano or other iberian breed, but I don’t think I could pull it off on the one horse rig I have to work with so he’ll remain a nordic horse.
