I don't think it could be any easier to create a Mac virtual machine using Fusion... You just select "File... New", then select the installation method which is generally "Install from disk or image", point it at the Mac OS installer app and let it do it's thing.
Just for fun, I just created a Sierra virtual machine, just because I had the installer sitting on my desktop. It took less than 20 seconds before it was running and working on the actual install of the OS in the virtual machine.
