If we're in a simulation, wouldn't that simulation run in a universe that may have different capabilities than our simulated one, such as a different maximum density or even a completely different set of physical laws that governs it?

Sure, but then we're back to knowing nothing about it. I think what many people find compelling about the simulation argument is that it claims that we can just follow forward our laws of physics and see that we are more likely than not living in a simulation, but I think that's not true
