They announced the cancellation a few weeks ago and I still think it’s hella funny that they cancelled The Sims 5 not super long after Paradox announced they were cancelling their The Sims competitor. It really feels like EA was only making a 5th Sims game to compete with a new contender, and when the contender gave up they said “oh well I guess we don’t need a new sims game.”

It would be a clever move from Paradox if they’re actually not stopping the development now that EA is cancelling The Sims 5.
The entire studio behind Life by You has been liquidated and everyone in it fired.
Better hope Paralives and InZOI are good, otherwise Sims will be without a competitor for 20 more years.
