That job posts was back on September 18, 2018 so I'd guess they just got started. It takes a good 4 or more years for a new base series - and any less than that it ends up like Sims 4 started. No one wants that again. Besides if they are using the Atlas Project SEED Program - well that won't be ready for at least three more years to get operational. I am pretty sure that will be multi - player though and not something I would like. I also know it uses cloud storage.
Sounds complicated - but I hear it'll be using the Frostbyte 3 engine. Culture shock to some simmers if that's the case - as that engine wants some high end pcs to play well.
I wasn't saying that they'd be rushing sims 5 out the door, for precisely the reason you mentioned. Just that it's in the pipeline, so "we'll give sims 4 all the time as it needs" isn't quite right.
That said, I'm not complaining. Either about the fact that they're still exploring the concept space that TS4 gives them, or about the fact that they want to take the time to work out everything they can for TS5.
