Is it allowed to make a comic by using a game?

It's not a matter of being fair or unfair to artists, it would be a matter of legality. You certainly wouldn't be able to switch on ad revenue for a comic made from game footage. You'll have to check with the staff to see if it would be allowed under the site TOS, but I'm guessing it wouldn't be because you probably don't have the rights to use Sims content in that way. Something like Comipo is different because it's designed for making comics.

I don't feel bad when I see comics using 3D character models, but I have little interest in reading them because they don't appeal to me aesthetically. I'm especially not interested in something using assets from a game or other property that doesn't belong to them, because I prefer content people created themselves.
