Okay, so picture this.

You send your lionesses out to hunt and decide, eh, I have a few adolescents, let me send them out, too, for skills. But when they come back, you notice a little notification. Apparently, some of your lionesses acquired a scar or two. No problem. But if your adols were there, wouldn't it be nice if they had acquired a scar, as well? They are inexperienced, and the more scars a lion has, the wiser they are.

You then go to send your submale out on a patrol. Nothing new, but then you remember that you have a male adol whose stats you also want to raise, so you send him, too. You wait an hour and they come back -- HOLY SMOKES, there was a rival male on your territory! Luckily, your sub was there to chase it off, but he's gotten roughed up some terrible. Meanwhile, his "apprentice" is showing off his new shoulder scratch for all to see, proud of both his exp boost AND the attention from the females.

Now, you're looking around at your pride, and you notice that you don't have enough broodmothers for your influx of cubs. No big deal, you guess, and leave them to their own devices. But when you see them again, you realize to your horror that their lack of parental guidance had left them open to outside harm. A hyena attack here, a rouge male there. But, wait. What the heck? There's not a mark on it at all. Is it the Terminator, or something?

------

If you read all of that, kudos to you and you have my instant respect lmao

If you haven't, here's the skinny: main lions and lionesses can receive scars at random, so why can't submales, adolescents, and cubs? You *could* buy them and apply it to them, but you don't have to as you can with kings and hunting lionesses. Of course, the chance of getting them should be the same as with main lions while exploring or lionesses while hunting. That shouldn't change, but I just think that it would be a neat chance.

No support; but that's only because I absolutely HATE the scars on lionesses from hunting. I keep having to take them off.
If they weren't so irritating to my décor and such, I would support :/

Also submales can get scars from sparring.

Support cause I love the scars. :D

Also... taking them off literally requires a couple clicks. It's not that big a deal imo. I love getting them. Total support. :D

The problem is... Mods really made the probability of getting scars from a hunt pretty high, so sometimes scars pile up on scars. Usually a majority of my hunts end up with my girls covered in scars. So not only does it happen so commonly, I also have more and more unwanted scars piling up in my hoard, even though I just threw the last batch out. Only way I will support is if mods add the ability to toggle the rate of scars in hunting off and on to stop EVEN MORE unwanted scars piling in my hoard.

I think a win/win for everyone would be if your lionesses/lions could get scars, but the scar decor is automatically added to your hoard, instead of onto the lion. I know that they're trying to keep it realistic with the scars appearing ON the lions as they receive them, but I don't see an issue with having the text say something like: 'Nala received a scar: (scar here) while hunting! It has been added to your hoard' instead of it saying it's been equipped to her.

It just such a minor little thing, that I don't see why it can't be changed. It's not like it plays a major role in the gameplay itself, player immersion, or realism of the game, such as say, breeding. Arguing that scars going into your hoard instead of onto the lions isn't realistic doesn't make sense anyway, especially when we have green manes and pink bases lol.

to me I don't care about realism at all, this game is not realistic and that argument doesn't work in my opinion, my argument was most don't like getting a bunch of scars they don't use or want and constantly recieve them, so I think an actual win/win would be the option of turning the feature on where you continue to get scars from hunting, or to turn it off so you won't get them. That way those who want the scars can have them but those that don't won't have a crap tun in their hoard and continuing to grow.

Thank you all for sharing your opinions! If it helps, would you like for me to make a suggestion for the scar toggling, so hopefully that can get supports, too?

I'd like this if the aforementioned toggle was implemented; scars are harmless, but can pile up, fast-- maybe a toggle where the scars automatically go into your inventory, as opposed to on your lions?

But to get to the main point, I wouldn't mind this, I love to collect scars and the more sources, the better!

No support because your female adols are there to watch and observe. they aren't partaking in the hunting. The lionesses protect that adol. And with the new decor cap i am starting to dislike the scars in general. [personally feel the chance to get a scar should be brought down a lot to a rare chance rather a very common chance] And some people send their subs out religiously! and the decor of lionesses who hunt is already so dislikes by many that adding it to subs would be a bit... much. Especially for those who end up having a male who has went of 4K+ patrols. To many scars would be created and there is to many scars in game now.

No support, sorry.

I already spend so much time every day or two going through all my multiple hunting teams to remove all the scars that pile up - often several per lion per day. In the meantime it completely ruins their look for the lionesses I have designs and decors for, so the absolute last thing I want is more scars being equipped. A toggle has been suggested a few times in various ways but not implemented yet unfortunately :(
