As of right now, the C-Section scar is gender locked and unavailable on male sims. It would be great if it could be unrestricted and usable on all genders/frames. As it stands now, the only way I could give my trans masc sims the C-Section scar is if I made them female.
Please, fix this and make the scar unrestricted. There's no reason for it to be gender locked.

I really think we should be able to add the caesarean scar to male sims because:
- Male sims can be set to being able to get pregnant
- Male sims can ALWAYS get pregnant by alien abduction, no matter their pregnancy settings
- Men can have surgeries, so the caesarean scar could very well be used as a scar from something else than giving birth
I agree with you so I used the sims 4 studio and found the reason it isnt for everyone is the scar sits below the male underwear
using female underwear does this ( simtimates collection kit underwear)
I have found trans gender female sims going to male do get this aswell. But I agree, But I also do see why the sims team didnt do it
I totally forgot about cis male sims being able to get pregnant by aliens. Now it makes even more sense why they should be available for all bodies
@GiardiniDiMarzoI think it should be for everyone and maybe they should for males increase the horizontal lines height so it dosent get hidden by underwear. But it is 100% needed to be done in some shape or form as it is needed. Also even Male sims and male frame can have the option in gender settings to be pregnent rather then get others pregnent even without it affecting the frame. So I agree with the thread, I was merely saying I think thats the reason but I dont agree with the choice if that makes sense?
( if what I say seems wrong im sorry english isnt my first langague/mother tounge)
Yeah, unfortunately the game can be very gendered at times. Usually when I say this it's like some root underlying code/very basic kind of thing, but... this is a new feature, and I find that odd.
It didn't even need to be a c-section scar really. It could have just been a surgical scar. I've got similar myself IRL from a surgery that wasn't a c-section. I know men that do too.
But I don't think anything should be gender locked now, especially since so much progress is being made and the game is really starting to embrace that and show willingness to move forward. Let's just open it all up and let us choose.
On the question of why caesarean scars aren't available for male sims, Matthew Fahey (Principle Designer for The Sims) just posted the following on Twitter: "I can ask about this, not sure the level of scope, but I don't see why we can't explore opening this up to Masculine body types."
