What programs are best at simulating planets, especially taking into account things like plate tectonics and/or weather patterns?

I guess you want a global circulation model, but those usually don't have plate tectonics. Check out SimEarth.

"Fate of the world" it's a videogame but it was lauded and awarded for having accurate climate models based on CO2 ppm and methane and all kinds of other effects.

Dwarf Fortress is the most complete simulation, but lacks plate tectonics for now.

this website seems to have some software capable of simulating some aspects of plate tectonics if you knowledgeable about computational methods and geodynamics:

Computational requirements are rather high.

practically no.

Actual reality. If you're looking for an aesthetic decision then you've come to the wrong board. The most scientific style is strict realism.

The older version is free, but the new paid version is only $25 and is so beautiful. If you enjoy astronomy at any level it's really a wet dream. Also be sure to get the free HD solar system DLC

No. The industry basically gave up on making good, creative video games in place of making phone app money scams and first person shooter military recruiting simulations.
