Simulation Theory isn't science, it's mysticism.
I accept that I could be wrong, but I think it's likely they are wrong. I think they are basically asking the question 'who created the universe' which I believe to be the wrong question in that it -presupposes a creator, showing a misunderstanding of time, the universe wasn't really created, there wasn't really a before in the universe, it just was, time exists within it not beyond it.
I also think they have taken the sims video game to a reductio ad absurdum. Assuming if you can simulate a 'world' you can simulate everything. But that really just ignores vastness and continuity of the universe, that requires they often only render a portion of the world as it is observed. But this ignores glitches you would with renders that were turned off and not fully 'updated' to anything else that changed in the world when you turn them back on, and it is also a very self-centric dare I say arrogant view of the world, assuming you are the main character surrounded by NPCs.
The universe already with only a could hundred years of true physics makes too much sense for it to be a partially rendered simulation.
