Its certainly not illegal to edit your toon, its against ToS to "Edit game files to gain an advantage over other players, Including, but not limited to, changes to your envirment" (Not exact, just a rough quote)
That means, if you ar caught changing BG gates, campfires or anything to something else. basiclly, i see it as if you edit an object that has a collision, yo one with out, and vice versa, you are breaking ToS, but its fine to change your toon (Even though they may ban you if they find out, just because alot of GMs are ****s.... Not all

)
