Hi
I am new about current mirrors and i dont understand why we need to use Vdd ? because we already use a current source. current_mirror.png
 

So if i dont use Vdd in a simulation, what will happen?
 

If you assume that the current source has an internal energy source (an ideal current source in a simulation of course has), you don't need Vdd. A technical current source, e.g. a transistor circuit will need an external energy source.

No difference at all.
