I don't think there is anything legally which allows people to make mods... Mods exist because Maxis allows it, which makes it difficult for them to enforce rules for people that lock their mods on Patreon. I'm pretty sure the rule they have which says that you have to make mods free after a time are so they can more easily allow modding and don't have to enforce the End User License Agreement.
You don't want EA's take on the matter, all that they can do is ban modding for the sims4. Maxis might be able to help you out, but I doubt it.
In my opinion, modding works best as a grey area (within limits), when you start to enforce rules and try to involve EULA then that's when things just go bad and no one wins. If people want to hide their content behind paywalls, then I think the only choice we really have is to go somewhere else, if no one pays for their content on patreon then they make no money.
Trouble is that there is no one else that do certain types of mods and in the same way, some of these modders know that and make sure their content can't be easily accessed because it's a one of a kind.
So in those instances, there is no "somewhere else" to go for modding needs.
Yeah in those cases it's bad, but I don't think you should try to force a rule on someone who clearly doesn't care, like the creator of NPCC as you mentioned, I would recommend zero's or bienchens npc control mods instead.
