You can't seriously call wallpaper and floor tiles 'work', can you?
Having made tiling patterns myself for CG art... yes. Yes I can. I've also modeled meshes in Hexagon, struggled with UV maps, and painted textures in GIMP. Not for the Sims, and very little of it is at a quality I'd consider distributing (though I have released some Daz Studio Iray Shader presets I was pretty proud of that got a mention in a blog about them.)
They farm out a lot of this work to other art companies, but that doesn't change that it is work they have to pay for.
I get that Kits bother you. And there's nothing wrong with being upset by them. But that doesn't diminish that there is work that goes into this, the models are more complicated than a "simple reskin" and quality tiling textures with accompanying bump and normal maps isn't just a matter of running a picture through a couple of filters.
Save your Ire for EA, not the artists.
