Some voice actors already possess the ability to take on differing accents. James Montgomery Doohan was American with an American accent, yet he pulled off a fantastic Scottish brogue when he played Scotty on the original Star Trek. So, if EA were to decide to do such, they would just have to screen the number of voice actors they need to see how many of them can do other accents. Not only that, but Angela Lansbury is British. I had no idea even after watching Murder, She Wrote from the beginning. She pulls off American rather well. It would be fun to have Sims with a different accent. Add a little more flavor to this game.
The company would still need to hire the actor ( and sound professionals) for the additional time it takes to do all the other accents. EA will end up paying for extra studio time regardless.
