Given entertainment we get from fiction is tightly coupled with evolutional brain chemistry, I think it is safe to rule out "simulation for entertainment": An actor powerful enough to host our simulation would most certainly be post-biological.

Now, for a scientific simulation, the question is: What answers could such a simulation provide to make up for the loss of energy otherwise spent on occupying the universe? If conducted post universe-occupation, then what answers could it provide to a universe that knows itself?

that's however assuming that the simulators are a form of life and have a telos of using up resources / reserving them for themselves
