Aside from that one interview tho we can only speculate based on EAxis's inner remake of teams and stuff
I'm taking a guess to say that Sims 5 is in the last stages of pre-production and will start going into production this year

We'll get more official info in early 2022 with a release in early 2023

They won’t be able to go into full production until most of the team is done with TS4, as they don’t have enough staff to have both TS5 and a TS4 pack to be in full production at the same time. Pretty sure TS4’s pre-production started in 2009 or 2010 but didn’t go into full production until early 2013 when the team was done with TS3: Island Paradise, the last EP made at Redwood Shores.

The full production period is comparatively short due to how expensive it is. There is no reason they would go into full production until they have everything planned out & are very sure about what kind of game they’re gonna make. Expect the game to spend like 3 years in pre-production and only 12-18 months in full production.
