Put another way...
A system of a given size and complexity cannot contain a system of equal size and complexity.
Therefore the universe in which this simulation is running must be larger and/or more complex than the universe that is being simulated.
Therefore we have no way of saying one way or another what is likely in whatever kind of outside universe might possibly create a universe like the one we observe. So to say something is more or less likely is pure speculation ab nihilo. So why bother?
