While I am not one to put much stock in scuttlebutt, particularly from the aforementioned website, I will sound off on my thoughts concerning a hypothetical Sims 5.
I am not planning on purchasing any Sims title until the content I desire is released -- namely vampires, pets and seasons. I've had enough over the last two installments playing the game in a holding pattern while watching and waiting. But if a game offers me the core Sims gameplay of The Sims 2 and The Sims 4 then it will be something I am interested in. If it is, as I suspect it may be, something along the gimmicky lines of The Sims 3 then I will give it a pass. I've spent too much time over too many titles wrestling with the shortcomings of open world games.
