For centuries the Andor homeworld was unknown to humans. Their customs and culture was alien to us. In the past hostile enemies to the Vulcans but after the mid 22nd century the humans managed to broker peace between the waring parties and only ten years later they all founded the United Federation of Planets together.

Now decades later the two indigious species of Andor, the Andorians and Aenar, have started to breed more commonly with themselves and others. Most common is the green Andorian Aenar hybrid.

But the close bonds with the humans have also produced som interesting variations. These are the decendants of caucasians and africans. Resulting in a dark blue and lavender skincoloration in the hybrids with Andorians and a palepinkish and light brownish color for the Aenar hybrids.

Geneticists have made reserach on how the white hair seem to be the dominant trait over the darker human colors but have not yet found the exact DNA sequence that supresses the human haircolors. But they have found that the hybrids do have som interesting genes that control the eyecolor. They goes against everything previously known about DNA and takes it coloration from the skin which is a blend depending of what skincolors the parents have.

This download are all the antennae recolors.

You need the two NEW meshfiles in the Antennae Mesh.rar file (MESH (xan_andorian_antennae_mesh.package) & TEXTURE (2d3b04d6_andor_antennae.package)) for the recolored antennae to work. The matching skins for the bodies can be found HERE (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=77358)

Human skin colors can be found here:

Sims, haircolors, hairstyles and eyecolors aren't included.
Only the actual recolored antennae and skins are available for download.

You are free to use these as you want in your games but do not post these files at any other sites without Xanathon, HystericalParoxysm and my approval.

If you make more recolors please feel free to post a link to them in this thread.

Additional Credits:
Goes to Xanathon (http://www.modthesims2.com/member/xanathon) creating the Andorian Antennae (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=142135) and for giving me permission to post these and include a new mesh download for the reworked Andorian antennae needed for these recolors.

Goes to HystericalParoxysm (http://www.modthesims2.com/member.php?u=31337) for making the antennae mesh recolorable and for her Idolatry Beyond (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=221480) and Idolatry of Flesh (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=221480) skin tones and for letting me recolor them.

Use her Idolatry of Flesh skintone to complement these recolors for humans.

These are so cute! I do have a silly question through. What is the difference between the two projects? Is it just the shape of the antennae?

These are the antennae the other is the skins. :)

SIMale, words fail to convey how out-of-this-world super-cool and fantastic these are!  Thank you!

You make my heart melt with those kind words. ;)

*Gasp* I think you just topped the list for sim sci-fi CC. :cyclopsa:
You are fantastically awesome!! Thanks you for all this wonderful sci-fi CC!

What about movies? no one ever mention rules regarding movies... I mean if you make antenna... someone is gonna make a movie...can we use them in public movies?

This is such a cool project.  I'm unclear a bit though.  Are these skins geneticised?

Thanks for your kind words.

Sure you can use them in movies if proper credit is given in the list of credits.

As for geneticisation (is that a word? ;o)
I have no clue to check for that nor make it so. So if someone were to make them in to that feel free to do so with proper credit.

This is great! Andorians are one of my all time favorite trek species

But out of curiosity, what is the difference between the mesh for these antennae and the original xanathon mesh?

This is very cool............

Thanks love these!!

The mesh is the same with one big difference.
Xanatons antennae can't be recolored.
These can thanks to HP.

thanks

Aww...cute!!

I'm really bad at remembering things like that. I'll have a look what clean installer says if I export them.

Weird, I recolored xanathons antennae... but these are still totally awsome.

But I can't get them to show up in my game! The antennas or the skins!

Remove Xanatons antennae that you previously had in your game they are probably in conflict.

As for recoloring his file, this is what he himself has to say about that: "You have to change the in-package textures. But as accessories are not like objects, you have to create a new "extension" package for the mesh and link this to it, thus it's not really just a "recolor"."

With these new files in the Antennae Mesh download, that isn't necessary. You can recolor it easily with bodyshop in to any color you like and it will automatically show up in the game thanks to HP. :)

Why the skins from http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=77358
doesn't show up, that puzzles me.
