FYI, if anyone else is interested in this madness… I've got success with 3 iOS simulators running at once from the same user through Xcode. The 4th became possessed, but worked after changing the version of iOS it was running.
I'm using Mac OSX 10.11.1 and Xcode 7.3. There is an actual tool out there for managing this for real. https://github.com/facebook/FBSimulatorControl Cheers.
