I think a Simulation game is any sandbox game designed to simulate either high-level or mundane experiences via gameplay mechanics. There are some exclusions, which include strategy games.
Some examples include Microsoft Flight Simulator, SimCity, the Sims, and Story of Seasons. It would not include games like Minecraft (which is not high-level or mundane) and Crusader Kings (which is a high-level sandbox, but a strategy game). Games like Rune Factory and Stardew Valley are Simulation RPGs; and there are other sub genres like Wrestling simulation games.
