What does that mean though?
Real way to deal with your question is through philosophy of science which is sadly neglected.
How should we interpret our scientific theories and results? Realism is popular (most of modern science is thought about in unexamined naive realist terms) but there are issues like how to understand the Heisenberg principle in these interpretations. Realism would take wavefunctions and observers to be the "objectively real" entities, the Heisenberg principle is a constraint that certain information (arbitrarily precise measured pairs of non-commutative observables) can't be obtained from these entities.
If that's what you mean by simulated then that's what scientific realism says reality is like.
