If we are living in a simulation, where does the simulation live in?

Another simulation. It's turtles all the way up and all the way down.
We, too, one day, will do a simulation, and thus the depth continues on indefinitely.

We already do, they're just much more primitive than our reality and very limited in the scope of what they simulate.
If we're in a simulation, it's possible the same is true. That our reality only is a simulation of some parts of the reality above ours, and at a lower fidelity.

> at a lower fidelity.
that doesn't need to be true. The simulation could be at "full fidelity" - just slow(er) than their reality.
But it doesn't matter for the simulated persons - they cannot tell the difference.
