Sims 5 and "Black & White 3" double-dip development
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_%26_White_(video_game) )
The AI tasks between a Sim and a monster from B&W don't seem much different from each other and with EA owning the rights to B&W they could double-dip on AI development for Sims 5 by experimenting with the same AI and engine they intend to use for it in Black & White 3 first, get feedback, and make revisions while planning and designing it further for Sims 5 implementation.
Also I think the pairing is good, Sims proves you don't need a 'War Game' to be a successful game so a lot of the junk in B&W 2 can be left in the dust while still attracting a audience of gamers.
