This a problem for presentism as well, even apart from simulation theory. Then there is the proven science of retrocausation, to which I believe Scott Adams linked. This seems to bridge the presentism/eternalism divide (albeit in a very perplexing way) by suggesting that all moments of time are 'present' but all change in response to one another. Even what is currently present is indeterminate to a future present...wrap you mind around that one over a party bowl.
