Classic Pin-up in Pooklet colors
Update 2: Don't fix things when you're tired! Accidentally missed the back of Time Bomb V3, so if you downloaded Version 3 in the last half hour or so, please redownload.
Update 3: I realized that 2 fronts and 2 backs make four combinations, not three, so I've added version 4. I apologize to those of you who are overwhelmed by options, but I actually think version 4 is the best one, so I really wanted to include it.
I'm back with another round of pooklet recolors for you all. I've had this hairstyle on my to-do list for a while, but very low priority. This month's theme is vintage (although I think it should be called retro) and I'm not a huge fan of that era, so I wasn't sure what to do. I decided to research hairstyles, focusing on the pin-up styles of the 50s and 60s. When this exact hairstyle came up in my image searches, I figured I kind of had to do it Consider it a modernized version of a classic pin-up style.
I give you, XM Sims mesh 040 A in Pooklet colors. Shades included are:
Black: Dynamite, Land Mine,
Brown: Depth Charge, Brisance,
Blond: Incendiary, Volatile
Red: Explosive, Pyrotechnic
These are the shades I personally use, but if anyone wants the other pooklet colors you are welcome to request them and if I have time, I'll make them for you.
The original texture didn't have many highlights, and pooklet colors are very much highlighted, so I had to fiddle around a bit to figure out where to put them. Some things looked good on the brighter colors, but awful on the darker ones. In the end, I couldn't decide between two fronts and two backs, so I went ahead and made all four possible combinations. I leave it up to you to decide which you prefer for each color, or if you want to use all of them.

About Me
--- No longer sharing content on MTS ---
I hope to return one day but for now consider me retired, and my uploads unsupported. I still share things sometimes on tumblr and I chat on discord servers, but I do not promise support for things I've shared as I don't know when or if I'm around and whether or not I'll have the ability and energy to do something if I am around.
If you ever downloaded something of mine, thank you! It's a great feeling seeing something you spent time on be useful to someone else in their game, and with all the great CC out there I'm very flattered you would choose to get something of mine.
I do not take requests. I do sometimes make things for people, but only when I see someone wishing for something on the forums and I feel like making it for them. So if you have a mod you wish would exist, make a post in Hacks and CC that you'd like to see!-thread. That's what it's there for after all! :)
A shoutout to VioletPadfoot for inspiring me to try creating, long ago. You gave me the nudge that got me started, and I'm very grateful. I'd also like to thank all of the wonderful experienced creators (gdayars, justJones, maybesomethingdunno, NixNivis, whoward69, HugeLunatic and many more) out there that wrote the tutorials I've used, or that has answered my questions when I've gotten stuck. You guys are what makes learning fun, and what inspires me to keep expanding my knowledge with new projects. Special thanks to Michelle who has helped me a lot when it comes to objects and recolors, and BoilingOil who taught me some modding basics that I needed when I started modding more seriously.
Policy
My policy is now open. I'd appreciate a message telling me about your work, because it's fun for me to see, and it means I know about it and can refer others to it if they reach out. As much as I would like to provide support for my own work, my health is too unstable and I have to prioritize. So if anyone else would like to fix problems or continue something and share it with others, that's great go forth :) If you can learn from my work or improve on it, wonderful. Welcome to ask questions on crafters, if I can I'll answer.
I'd appreciate if people do not share default replacements from my stuff as I do not like default replacements, but I can't stop you anyway so no point in acting like I could. If you want to respect my wishes, I appreciate it, if you don't care then well nothing I can do about it.
Other sites
Only share content on tumblr now. Still retired though so probably nothing, but if something new comes out, that's where it'll be. You can find it linked here on my profile.
