This is a complex problem with no real solution right now. There is just no way to test it. That being said a lot of scientists and smart people are finding a lot of ''evidence'' against ''living in a simulation'' kind of ''theory''.
''Ringel and Kovrizhi showed that attempts to use quantum Monte Carlo to model systems exhibiting anomalies, such as the quantum Hall effect, will always become unworkable.
They discovered that the complexity of the simulation increased exponentially with the number of particles being simulated.''
This basically means that the computing power needed to simulate our whole universe would be so vast that is considered impossible. Then again this doesn't really disprove the idea totally since we can't know if that amount of computing power is actually possible outside of our ''simulation'' but it does prove that it would be impossible for us to build a simulation of another universe.
''Researchers have long sought to model quantum chromodynamics on supercomputers, but the problem is that these kinds of simulations take place at such a small scale and are so dazzlingly complicated that even the biggest supercomputers can only simulate an extremely small swath of our infinitely massive universe--something just a few femtometers across (a femtometer is one million nanometers, which is still really, really small).''
