will "top surgery" scars ever be available for female sims

I'm just curious to know if the top surgery scars will ever be made available for female sims. As a breast cancer survivor and a double mastectomy "flattie" (flat closure). It would be nice to have that representation available in the SIM world; especially since more and more young women are being diagnosed with breast cancer.

And since the technology/code already exists, I assume it's not that big of an ask?

    @gooochyeee Thank you. The visibility does not matter to me as they would be covered in real life by a bra. Knowing they are there is what matters to me and I would like for EA to make the option available.

    I really appreciate that you took time to respond and post the pictures. Thank you.

    @SqueamishNerd I really appreciate your time in posting these. They need to give us those scars by just enabling the tag. That is a simple update that does not require much from EA.
  • @Willonne I totally agree with you, and I hope the change is made. And although I applaud and appreciate the efforts of the people suggesting the maleframe/female pronoun workaround, I want to respectfully say that transitioning men and transitioning women are not the same, and that breast cancer survivors are definitely not the same as trans men or trans women. I can totally understand that having to use a work around wrecks the immersion; it would for me, too. Furthermore, female frames should be getting the same attention to detail as male frames, not just for immersion, but because it's the right thing to do.

    @Crayola4321 I totally agree, and it also goes in the other direction, sims with the male rig should be getting the same attention to detail as sims with the female rig. As of now the c-section scar can be used for sims with the female rig, but not sims with the male rig. There's a separate post on this one, just wanted to mention it.

    Btw, just want to add that I can be good to separate between female/male rig and female/male frame, to not confuse the devs of what we're talking about (has happened before specifically in the case of male/female rig and frame). The rig is the base body, where the male one has a flat chest and the female one has a full chest, while the frame is the feminised/masculinised alteration of the rig. The chest scars are available for the male rig and not the female rig, the c-section scar is available for the female rig and not the male rig. So sims with the male rig can have the chest scars, no matter if they have a male or female frame, and sims with the female rig can have the c-section scars, no matter if they have a female or male frame, so it's the rig that sets the limitation of these two scars, not the frame
