Download the MPLABx IDE and the XC16 compiler form Micorchip (both free downloads). The simulator release notes lists that device as being supported.
The comments I'd make about the simulator applies to all simulators: the sometimes do not handle I/O very well (some peripherals can be simulated but others have no or limited simulation) and also simulators can add in another (or different) layer of bugs - the code need not accurately reflect the silicon, especially silicon errors - and the simulator code can also be wrong.
It all depends on what you are trying to do.
Actual hardware is always the best option in my opinion.
