Am I allowed to use UGC for NPCs? What are the regulations regarding that?

So, I’m not a very good modeler, and for my solo project, I’m looking to use UGCs for my NPCs since there aren’t many open-source models that help with characters in general.

I’m relatively new to this and have never created an open game before. Therefore, I have no idea what the regulations are. The guidelines I’ve found so far are rather unclear and seem to focus mostly on player character customization.

I’m not sure if this is still the case, but last time I looked into it, you need to get permission from that specific UGC artist. Some artists flat out say they allow the use of their assets in games without needing to ask (Beeism is an example). If you’re unsure, try contacting them through the DevForum or social media.
