Why shouldn't people monetize their content? I don't ask an artist to commission a drawing of my favorite character from a movie/game/book and then demand it to be free because the character isn't "theirs". The original creator doesn't have the means to create the content I want, so I'll pay for it out of pocket.
Unless EA/Maxis is going to start giving me the fantasy/historical/alpha content I want and deserve, I will continue to have no problems with paying an artist to make my dreams come true. lol
Because EA is the artist for the game so they have the legal rights to it. It is like trying to copy an artists work and sell the work at an artist's studio and call it your own. There are copyright laws in the US to protect EA's work. Honestly think artists can make more money making emotes on Twitch than making Sims content.
Yes, EA has the artistic rights to their own meshes and the items already in-game. However, I'm talking about the stuff not in-game. I'm not a Maxis-match CC user, so maybe alpha seems a bit different in my mind, but the only thing similar in alpha is the in-game sizing. The CC creators make their own meshes, use their own blending, learn the techniques on their own, etc. I'd say that the content can be considered "fair use".
Now, mods that use Maxis meshes, change the coding of the game, etc can be considered copyrighted by EA and should not be monetized.
