Excellent question.
Unless it is a class D sim, which is not what you are asking about, sim time is only logged as sim time. No total, SE, ME, day, night, complex or any other category or class that might apply.
A class D sim is a type of sim you only find at airlines and probably a training center like flight safety.
I know how difficult and expensive it is to get those first hours. But sim time isn't going help out for you with total time.
