Pooklet'd Nouk's Girl Next Door

While I'm normally all about fancy hair, it doesn't suit all Sims. It's nice to have a few casual alternatives for Sims that don't seem the type to spend forever on their hair (even if all they need to do is look into a mirror for a few minutes!) or simply not the type to want elaborate hairstyles. Nouk is excellent at those types of hairstyles, I've always liked her Girl Next Door hairstyle. It's been on my to-recolor list for ages, and last time I went on a pooklet recoloring spree I decided it was finally time. There are many other pooklet versions out there, but I wanted them slightly differently so I made my own.

I have made a small modification to the alpha in my recolors, removing the shorter strand of hair in front of the left ear. It felt out of place to me, and I like it better without. I made a picture showing Almighty Hat's pooklet versions with the shorter strand, and my version without it, so that you can decide what you like best. If you prefer it with the strand, I suggest you go grab Almighty Hat's recolors instead (here, half-way down the post).

Pooklet scheme
As usual I have made this in the Pooklet colors I use.

Family 1: Dynamite, Depth Charge, Incendiary, Explosive
Family 2: Land Mine, Brisance, Volatile, Pyrotechnic

If anyone really wants the other pooklet colors, you are welcome to request them and when I have time I'll make them for you.

FAQ
What does family'd mean?
Family means that if your Sim has a hairstyle, and you switch from one haircolor to another, the game remembers the hairstyle and your Sim wears the same one but in the new color. It also means that when a Sim ages up, it'll keep the same hairstyle (if that age group is available).

What does pooklet'd mean?
Pooklet was a creator who created a set color scheme for hairstyles. Pooklet'd means that the recolors have been done in the pooklet color scheme, and will match other recolors that are pooklet. They are great if you want your Sims to change their hairstyle without magically changing the shade of their hair.

What is polycount and why does it matter?
