That is adding a bunch of stuff to something when you don't have to, making the theory with more additions a lot weaker.
They might be simulating different physics, they might not. None of the parts needed for the simulation theory require new laws.

you missed the point. god hypothesis says there is inherently no natural law ever anywhere, its just a god and his thoughts and wishes.
simulation says observe what you can see happen already, and extrapolate from actual things that do occur. it just proposes more of those things. nothing about the god-hypothesis does this. it's all things with no observed precedent. not a universe which we know can exist, not computers we know can exist, not simulation we know can exist.
its "a mind with no matter/time/laws that can manifest thought and infinite complexity as the base building block of anything ever". Simulation has none of that magic shit. It's just "bigger computers, conciousness being able to run on hard-, not wetware, in fundamentally the same type of universe as ours". nothing similar.
