Don’t read too much into that. That’s an off the cuff remark they made only after they royally botched the entire series timeline with this game and didn’t want to own up to it.
Like seriously they just got lazy. Incredibly lazy. They took some households that were popular, recreated their likeness in Sims 4, and tossed them in. That’s it. It would have taken maybe 20 minutes to research the backstories Maxis created themselves for these characters, but that was too much work so an “alternate universe” is what they went with that allowed them to shatter the established timeline for absolutely no reason. I guess there was a reason, mismanagement, but they don’t like to call it that. They call it, doing things differently.
