I’ve been wanting antlers as accessories for approximately ten thousand years, give or take a few. Plicka made a set of antlers attached to hair, by request, but it was for adult males only, and obviously had only one hairstyle. Credit for the actual antler portion of the mesh goes to wintermutai1.
Anyway, with my newfound powers of MilkShape, I separated the antlers from the hair and remapped them, then threw together some fresh textures and recoloured them! Ta-da! They come in Medium Brown, Dark Brown, Black, White, Light Grey, and Teal (specifically for Nett, but surely someone else wants to make a teal deer?) flavours. The title is from The Queen’s Rebuke, from my favourite Decemberist’s album! I always imagined that the Queen had antlers…
The antlers are for both sexes, from young adult through elder. I’m working on teen and child versions, but especially for the children, this means I have to do the meshes from scratch (obviously the chilluns don’t have fully formed stag antlers!).
Files are compressed, and all junk ages have been removed. Antlers are layerable with other accessories, and will be worn at all times, even when nude.
Please note, this is for the antlers only. All sims in the screenshots are wearing anthro outfits from Beosboxboy/Marvine/SynapticSims, available here. The ears are just my elf template ears on the smallest setting.
ETA: These antlers are for The Sims 2. There is a version for Sims 3 by Claeric available here at Mod The Sims.

ETA: Trappingit has made some delicious antlers as well! They are far softer and more velvety than mine, AND they are all ages! Because they are so awesome, I will probably not make mine all-ages. XD Go get hers!

So due to uni, I’ve been away from the sims for nearly a year, more or less. As such, I tend to go “OH MY GOD DID YOU KNOW THAT THEY HAVE ACCESSORY BANGS NOW?!” and my friends just sort of give me a pitying look. Well, then, imagine my surprise when I found that said bangs had not had any realphas done! Or, to our knowledge (please correct me if I’m wrong!). Anyway, I decided to rectify this situation. I nabbed these Pooklet retextures from bunheadsbuns, and opened up BodyShop. I quickly discovered WHY no one had realpha’d: the texture mapping is preposterous. It took some time, and a lot of tweaking, but eventually it worked!
Actually, it worked too well. Before I knew it, I had somehow made THREE realphas and some streaked textures to recolour with. Sometimes I wish my projects didn’t turn into monsters.
On to the details:
- There are, as I mentioned, 3 alphas. Classigoth is the longest of the three, on the right in the teaser image. Cybergoth is super-short, on the left in the teaser. The center, then, is Psychogoth (my personal favourite of the three), which is just the point, without the sloped-down sides that the other two have.
- I haven’t included all of Pooklet’s unnaturals, because after a while I just couldn’t stand it anymore and I picked only the ones I really really liked/the ones that weren’t too samey. It turns out I only included a black recolour for Psychogoth, though I intended to do one for all of them. I’ll get to that eventually. All of them include “Volatile” however, in case anyone wants to do more Pookletting easily.
- All files are helpfully named, and in the folder I’ve included the large version of the swatches so you can easily pick which colours you do or don’t want.
The three teaser models are also showcasing some of my beta projects – my cougar skin, my horned alien face template, and my Enayla Serpent skinblend! :3
Important Update 8/23/11: All zip files now include the mesh!
