This is a different story. This is a matter between you and the creator of these CC. In fact, the CC creator can't do anything to you because you both use EA objects, but it's a matter of ethics. It is not nice to use someone else's work. You can only ask the creators of these CC if they don't mind this if after publishing the sim you provide there links to their creations, .but of course, you can post a sim without asking and wait for complaints and insults.

You can upload to the Gallery any sim with CC used without fear. You must be aware of one thing - the Gallery does not save CC and the person who downloads your sim will not receive this CC.
In addition, because the sim was created using CC, this work will be marked with a blue key and will not be visible in the Gallery unless you enable the filter. So no one will download this sim.
But if you want to store your works outside the computer, the Gallery is useful.
