Not everybody has perfect skin, and your sims shouldn’t either. One way to rectify this is through scars CC & skin mods to make them more realistic and unique.
Every person reading this sentence has scars. I’ve got so many I can’t even count them all! So why wouldn’t our Sims have them as well? They live such rich, interesting lives and with all the shenanigans they can get into, it’s no surprise that they’d have a few scars to show for it!
Scars CC That Will Stick With Your Sims
This list will feature a variety of over 40 scar types, for faces and bodies, with varying levels of intensity. Due to the somewhat graphic nature of certain scars CC, reader discretion is recommended.
Note: Some of these scars CC will have options for Infants; you may need the CASUnlocks Mod by Crilender which opens up locked CAS categories for sims of all ages and occult status.
Roses, Acne Skin Detail
For most of us, acne is a part of life once we hit puberty. Some people are unfortunate enough to have it pretty severely, and it can leave permanent scarring on their skin. Having acne scars can be a source of self-consciousness for many but luckily, once we escape the hell of puberty it’s something that a lot of people stop caring about. And this sim just goes to show you, you can still be beautiful even with acne scars.
A grab-bag of 68 different swatches in a mix of scars, splotches, and spots. There are multiple categories you can find these in so they’re easy to layer.
If your sim has had a facial piercing for a long time, their skin may not fully heal over once the piercing is removed. This scar CC gives the option of layering up to 3 swatches due to it being available in multiple categories, and each category also has a swatch that’s all the scars in one.
This is a simple overlay that will apply a double scar over any eyebrow. Use it for a sim who injured their brow bone in the past, or even if you want to give your sims an eyebrow slit without needing specific brows to achieve it!
Simmer Seyjin took the scars that came with Get Famous and made them available for children. It’s an override, but won’t change the appearance of the adult versions.
Cleft lip is a common condition that people are born with, and the surgery to fix it is usually performed within 8-12 weeks of birth. Many folks don’t show any proof they ever had cleft lip as they grow, but sometimes there’s a scar. If your sim is one of these people, here’s some scar CC for them.
A very unique facial scar based on one sported by South Korean artist Baekhyun. There’s also a decorative facial chain that you can pair with the scar for an even more interesting look.
A bunch of little facial scars including some earlobe scars which you don’t really see that often. If you sim tried piercing their own ears or had an earring get caught and yanked out, this set has the scar you need!
A set of scars for the face that have several opacity options, meant to be less intense than the scars that EA has released. Lower opacity scars are also a good way to represent long-healed wounds.
An assortment of scars pulled from the video game Fallout 4. These markings are a lot thinner than many featured here, so they’re a good option for someone who got their scars long ago.
Some facial scars for a sim who had their injuries stitched up by someone who is most certainly not a professional. This is a good set for a playthrough where sims may not have access to healthcare for whatever reason, such as post-apocalypse.
As the title would suggest, these facial scars are pretty gnarly. This CC is for a sim who very recently got their injuries, and however it happened must have been intense!
Here are 4 facial scars that, unlike a lot of others on this list, appear to be long healed-over. They also go as far back as the Toddler life state, so this is a scar that can follow your sim for pretty much their whole life.
A set of unique CC designed to add more variety to the scars in game without always looking like your sim was stabbed with something sharp. There are several burns along with a unique lightning scar for those unluckiest of sims.
In addition to an incredibly detailed facial scar, this mod comes with an optional eye preset that sells the injury even more. It’s graphic CC to be sure, but the eye preset detail really elevates this mod to something truly impressive.
An extensive collection of top surgery scars in 8 different styles, with 5 skintone swatches along with a grey swatch designed to blend with the EA top surgery scars.
A collection of top surgery scars in various states of healing, including those with stitching and medical tape. This is part of a transmasc set that also includes a couple of binders.
This mod is an override for the scars that came with the Werewolves pack and it simply gives the scars higher priority so they stay on top other skin details and overlays you might apply to your sim.
This scarring CC was made based on a character from the television show Outlander. While the origin of these scars was particularly brutal, you can adapt them to your needs. One idea: a sim fell from their horse but got caught and dragged along the ground on their back.
Simmer Red Ear Cat took the scars that came with Get Famous and repurposed them for use on your sim’s chest. Despite reusing EA textures they got incredibly creative with the sizing and placement of these scars, giving us things like animal scratches, stab wounds, clumsiness injuries, or whatever else you can think of using them for!
A simple piece of CC that gives sims a scar from having heart surgery. There’s a fresh stitched version along with a healed scar. Creator JellyPaws also made a version for Infants, though it seems that there currently isn’t one for Toddlers and Children. The scar is eventually planned to be added to a larger mod so maybe we’ll see the missing life stages then?
Although this scar mod celebrates something pretty scary, we love the ingenuity behind it. With this mod installed, sims who catch fire have a chance to develop severe burns on their body along with losing their hair, and the scars will fade over time (3-12 days) as the sim heals from the injury.
This mod hasn’t been updated in a while but based on comments it’s still working.
Self-harming isn’t a great practice, but it’s not something a person should be ashamed of having scars for. These scars will add a strong dose of realism to your game but if the notion of self-harm is too heavy for you, it also makes a good wound set for limb-related injuries such as a sim getting thrashed by leaves while roaming the jungles of Selvadorada.
This funky set of body scars look like lightning branching out across your sim’s skin. They come in a range of natural and unnatural colors so you can use them on Occult sims or those with unique skintones, too!
This assortment of scars has a mix of regular life damage along with scars for multiple surgery types such as heart, kidney, and thyroid surgeries. There are lots of slotting choices so you’re free to layer and mix them as needed.

Closing Thoughts
Scars are a part of life, and they help weave a tapestry on our skin of the adventures we’ve experienced throughout our lives. Much like fingerprints, every scar is completely unique and while they’re not always acquired in the best of circumstances, they contribute to all the little factors that make each of us one-of-a-kind. With this list of scars CC, your Sims can tell a story themselves of the things they’ve lived through by way of the marks on their skin. Do you have any scars that you got in funky ways? Share with us below, and happy simming!

I've been playing The Sims since the first game launched way back in 2000 and have been using CC for over 20 years. As a creative person with an interest in design, The Sims games have always been a great outlet for me whether I'm creating a cool sim, trying a new build style, or dabbling in CC making. The Sims really is a wonderful medium for all sorts of creative outlets and I'm happy to share my enthusiasm with other like-minded players!
