I hope you will correct me if you are not referring to this portion of my question:
" So at a place like The Sims Resource, Patreon, and various forums, one defers to the content distribution rules *at the upload destination* in conjunction with everything else in the agreement and what has been stated EA afterwards. This is my conclusion, and I am looking for confirmation as to whether it is true or not."
@Singerspeepswrote:
I think that it's mostly true, except that EA does not make that site a subservice, just grants the site permission to use its licenced content. Hope this helps!

Any input from someone is both helpful and appreciated. I know it's not the easiest read, so thank you for taking the time!
