They wouldn't be much if they did - as they only put the call out for jobs back in September of 2018. It takes several years for a new base game. The earliest I could see Sims 5 is in mid 2022 other wise it will be worse than how Sims 4 started.
Those job offers were to join an already established team. :)
Not likely as one of those jobs were Art Director which as anyone knows who knows anything about making games - is usually one of the first people hired on a new project as they oversee every stage of the project in a base game. Well unless they do things differently today than they did a couple years ago.
Sims 4 is the only "established Sims team" right now at Redwood City as far as I can see.... seeing Sims 4 Mobile was moved out.
I also think EA cleaning out the new building they made for Sims Mobile and sending that and some of that team to Fire Monkey Studio may have given them space they probably needed to make the Sims 5 if that is what that project is - seeing they closed Salt Lake City when Sims 3 ended production and Emeryville Studio when Sims City 2013 bit the dust - so they obviously needed more space to work on a new pc game - my guess is this project and seeing Sims 4 Mobile just moved out - perhaps the project is just getting started. You cannot build a new game without a place to put a couple hundred people - so they could just be starting now even - if you look at it reasonably and not as you might wish it to be. But face it a new game takes a lot of pcs, people and elbow room. Sims 4 offices look pretty full.....
One more thing - keep in mind - no where has it been established that Sims 5 is even under production - people think it is or hope it is - but it could always be another side game too. All the job stated was "a brand new Sims game" - so technically unless someone has a crystal ball or EA says something do any of us know? Just like where did you get info on an "established team"? I have connections and cannot find out info like that. I know - I tried.
I could probably get info on national security easier than on the "New Sim Game" for crying out loud. (I'm nosy - what can I say).
