I think Rene still is the "next generation" Sims game because they keep calling it that. But it's the next generation AND something different (pseudo spin-off) at the same time if that makes sense. It's both spiritually the fifth Sims game but also a standalone live-service game that could just be called "The Sims" (without any numbering).
Exactly, How many other spin-offs have dlc? There was I think one, maybe two to the Sims Medieval. But most Spin-off games don't sell near well enough to get DLC. This one is supposed to be Free, so they are putting all of their money on its DLC selling.
They may never name it Sims 5, but to its players I think it will be.
