Are the C simulators hand crafted each time by the chip designer? It seems like the kind of thing that needs custom built but I’m wondering if there is a common toolset used, or platform?

For production chips the simulators are usually completely custom. In academia people tend to modify existing simulators like SimpleScalar or Gem5.
