I think whats important to note here is that even if people created mods or fanart that shows child-like-PCs nude or in sexualized pictures its quite different from SE basically "offering" you the option ingame through their ingame content to achieve something like that. If someone is putting a child into a... questionable situation (wether thats combat or sex) right now thats totally on them. They need to use tools that arent developed by SE to make that happen, so SE wouldnt be liable (at least not as much as they would be if they provided the child-model as a playable character).

And if you read the post made by Yoshi-P carefully you'll notice that it isnt only about sexualizing kids, but also about violence used against them. During the game its unavoiable that violence is used against your character. So even if no one goes out of their way to create a nude-child-mod, they're facing the issue of violence against children - something thats most likely jump the rating up in some countries or at least they'd risked that - I'm not sure how "bad" it is in germany in that regards right now but I recall that Fallout 1 or 2 had the children "removed" to prevent the game from being pulled from the market since you could kill them and violence against kids is a big no-no (since they apparently only made the kids invisble and untouchable and didnt remove them properly that apparently lead to situation where kids could pickpocket you and you couldnt do anything about it, since you could see them...)
