There's only one place where it's potentially necessary to add a scar houserule. If you're using the bonus cards (which I recommend), their opening condition is "when the third green scar is placed." I don't think it's too much of a spoiler to note that you don't actually need all three green scars out to open that packet. So, if you're using that packet, I recommend the following: if you are certain you have found every scar, including the yellow faction board scars, and that you won't be able to play the last green scar because of scar count vs player count, go ahead and open the bonus cards.
Other than that, there is no need to force every scar to be played. Just as there are more than 15 winner reward stickers, some scars being left unplayed can add interest to the game.

Thanks for the info! We are not using the bonus cards (maybe in the future), but I'm confident now that our issue will be resolved. :)
I do agree that it shouldn't be a problem in general if not all scars can be placed, except when it would prevent us from using all content etc. off course. I even believe that when not all scars can be placed, that was intended and that it would be against the rules to forcefully place them all. The other players in our group disagree though. They tend to want to place everything that's available. After a discussion at the end of our game night I made this post to be able to comfort them. Now I can. YAY!
We should probably have waited for all packs to be opened before I posted this. I will post the packs we haven't opened in spoiler tags hereunder. Hidden because you might be able to deduct which content is in which packet when you know which packets we havened opened yet.

By the way, I believe there is some spoilerish info in your post, maybe you would want to consider putting that in spoiler tabs. Some people tend to be very sensetive about that...
