If there's a 'God Computer' that's running our universe, it's much more likely that all it's programmed for is Quantum Mechanics and Gravity, and everything else is purely emergent. I mean we know how everything in chemistry, biology, etc. definitely DOES simply 'emerge' with no 'programming'.
People just hear "Sim" and hey think of the "Sims" game. It's not like that. Our 'creator' (Sim programmer) likely didn't even know what any of the life forms would even look like on any specific habitable planet, nor how many planets would even form, etc. prior to 'running it'.
And it's even [dare I say] likely, that if we are in a simulated universe it may be the N-trillionth one, and the programmer just finally stumbled across the correct values for the fundamental Standard Model charges, masses, spins, that can result in a stable universe. We do know it's fine tuned, but we don't know if the tuning is purely Anthropic Principle or from many iterations.
