Is it allowed? No.
Does it seem like anyone who can do anything about it actually cares? Also, no.
Too true
I don't own the rights to the sims. However, a CC or Mod creator can say intellectual property that they deserve payment for when they use free programmes like Blender, Autodesk Sketchpad, Gimp, etc to create their content.
I personally make Poser and Daz Studio Content all the time for fun. I used to create IMVU and Second Life content all the time as a student for fun and to better learn the programmes I was learning at the time, The difference is I have licensing that allows me to create this content and charge others for that content for both Poser and Daz Studio. If I had the energy to create CC I would however I wouldn't charge others behind a paywall. It's because I don't have legal rights to do so. I don't have licencing rights from EA to create paid content for the game. For that reason, I would not charge anything for creating CC.
However, that is simply how I am because I was taught about respecting trademarks and copyrighted material. I avoid the legal drama by honouring what my licencing allows for me to create. I don't hold others to my morality or ethics.
If EA and companies they use to create CC like Disney ever decide to bring them to court ignorance is no excuse in a court of law. Just because you saw it on the internet does not make it public domain.
