Well, yes. Nothing stopping you. I dare say you can even just rip a load of other peoples assets and recolor them for sale. The evidence for this is pretty plentiful. Leave it for a month for sale (TOS), maybe another (Because it's not enforced well), but do so for cheap and DO eventually release free. If you've the knowledge, just cleaning up other assets with regard too many polys, too high resolution, or tweaking into Alpha and/or MM, would be saleable. You are not spending the resource of legal freedom here, only your reputation with other modders really...good to know, so I can start working on my game and making tons of money? if EA won't sue me, won't the mod creators do it? can I sue them back for trying to sue me over something that never belong to them in the first place? how would this work exactly?
VPN, make sure your computer identity doesn't tie to your real one for anything created, same with any third party programs, and I doubt it would get as far as a cease and desist letter even. If you do get one, do cease and desist and release all "Your" CC for free, change user-name, and repeat.
You don't sue anybody else, no. You only have creative rights for a very short time. Unless you have the fastest legal team in the free world and are somehow making more bank off mods than anybody else, constantly, I can't see how you would have the time for it to be worthwhile. This is however also why nobody is going to sue you.
It's letters saying "please stop" all the way down because the amount you can earn for shoddy CC isn't enough to pay a lawyer for more.
