Sims 5 is not going to come out for a long time. They’ve already confirmed they have a lot more content and sims 4 will have a longer development time. They just released a mobile sims game and there still working on sims 4 plus they’ve just released sims 4 on consoles. Unless they have a secret team working on sims 5 I don’t see where the resources and time is coming from. Plus with all the hints we’re getting in sims 4, there mind is clearly on stuff for sims 4.
If/when Sims 5 does develop, it's likely the game engine will be produced by a different team; some of the longer term developers/SimGurus might be called upon to consult regarding the development, but I don't even think they've even thought about what they want to see in the game engine.
I think they're probably watching the game trends to figure out what direction a Sims 5 would go. For example, if the game community settles on a VR standard, there could be a multiplayer version of The Sims utilizing VR, and players could actually play as their Sims and interact with people also playing as their Sims. Or that could be a spinoff version with either Sims 4 continuing or a new version of the beloved series taking over. It's currently just a wait and see process.
