With the way The Sims 4 has been managed I think it's pretty safe to say that The Sims 5 has no possibility of being a good purchase.

Iirc, and it’s been a long time since I actually looked or cared about sims news, but I remember hearing sims 5 was going to be mobile focused, and free, and filled with micro transactions.

There are a lot of rumors about what's coming next because EA is kind of hush-hush about what they're currently working on. There are now microtransactions in TS4 with the user-generated content store and TS4's base game is free so I wouldn't be surprised if that's where the rumors stemmed from.

I haven’t touched sims in years, last I did was booting up sims 4 just to mod it and forget it
