The Best Scars CC & Skin Mods For The Sims 4

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.

Spots, Scars, & Splotches

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.

Face Piercing Scars

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.

Double Eyebrow Scar

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!

Scars 4 Children

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 Scar

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.

Face Scars

5 assorted face scars that affect the eyes, nose, cheek, lips, and/or chin.

Assortment Of Scars

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!

Facial Scars

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.

Halloween Set Scars

Put the finishing touch on your sim’s Halloween costume or elevate your movie’s monster with these face scars!

Random Face Scars

15 random face scars for sims as young as Toddlers, because you’re never too young to bonk your face into something!

Face Scars

A remix of the scars from Get Famous to give your sims extra facial options, some more intense that others.

Fallout 4 Scars

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.

Lips Scars

5 different mouth scars, categorized as makeup so you can change the color with sliders!

Scars 01

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.

Bad Face Scars

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!

Faye Scars

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.

Face Scars – Kizu

5 different facial scars in a variety of intensities, found in Skin Details.

Scars 02-03

This set includes two small facial scars, one for the nose and one for the cheek.

Scars 02

For a sim who’s scars are more supernatural in nature, this set will come in very handy!

Overly Specific Scars

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.

Face Scars

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.

Top Surgery Scars

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.

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.

Body Scars

A set of scars for a sim who was on the wrong end of a knife or other sharp slashing instrument.

Werewolf Scar Override

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.

Jamie’s Back Scars

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.

Chest Scars

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!

Heart Surgery Scar

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?

Automatic Burn Scars

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-Harm Scars For Arms and Legs

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.

Lightning Scars

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!

Small Scars

7 small scars on assorted areas of the face & body for sims of all ages.

Body And Face Scars 1.0.0

Scars that cover the face and body, with 2 swatches of completely different scarring effects.

More Facial And Body Scars

A huge assortment of facial & body scars with over 80 different options, including scars for Infants!

Assortment of Scars, Pt. 2

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.

Scars Gavin’s

A 4-part assortment of scars for the face, chest, stomach, and back in 14 different swatches so you can achieve the appearance you’re looking for.
