hello rainychan.
please dont feel stupid posting here, this board is for help with games too, not just showing them, and youre a very good game maker, i dont think there would be any qualms about helping you make a decision.
that said, i dont think it would be bad to use some pre made things if you dont want to spend a long long time on everything, however i think that instead of using game rips, you might use some things that are made specifically for resources. maybe that will feel a little better, since they are made just for that purpose. as long as you credit them, too, you could always edit the ones that you find to look like what you want, as long as its not specified not to, and also, you could have a combination of both-- made items/things/tiles that you want to look a certain way yourself, and use premade tiles for things that are less specific to your location.
it doesnt have to be any one way, and i think it might help you to feel less guilty about using premade things.
i can understand the feeling of wanting to make everything, but if you feel like it will hold your game up, and perhaps even slow you down, it may be better to compromise in the middle of the two. it is still your game and hardwork, so its not so much that anything will be lost.
i hope this helps? i look forward to what you'll do with this new area. i hope it comes out as youd like it to, rainy.
