So this might be some interesting information.
I was trolling the Sims Community website looking for the "Sims 5 charaters" that someone said was shown on their Instragram account. I don't have Instragram so I couldn't view anything there, so I went to their actual webpage.
Anyway, I was reading articles and they had a post from July regarding Official EA Job Postings, and one of them specifically was for a "Mobile Simulation Engineer".
But, the interesting part was one of the requirements in the job description. It stated:Create mobile application features and systems that contribute to the experience of the main product.

When I read that, I didn't interpret that as a true "online multi-player" version.
What does anybody else think?
We've got an investigative reporter on our hands. Now THIS is what I call connecting the dots! Bravo, Chicklet!

The way I read it, we must logically separate mobile features with multiplayer features. As the two can both exist together or by itself. My conclusion is that a Sims 5 mobile app will augment the experience of the core Sims 5 game (presumably on PC and console). It will augment the singleplayer experience AND / OR the multiplayer one - we do not know. As for multiplayer, we know AT MINIMUM multiplayer exists in the form of building collaboration. This multiplayer could even be extended into a Sims Online type of experience. Nothing disapproves that at the moment.
