Base SDK 6.1 doesnt show iOS 8 simulators in Xcode 6.0.1

My app currently has a Base SDK of 6.1

Ive put iPhoneOS6.1.sdk into: Xcode> Developer> Platforms> iPhoneOS.platform> Developer> SDKs>

And it allows me to build with the base SDK set to iOS6.1

But unless if I have the Base SDK set to 8.0, it doesnt show me any of the simulators running iOS 7.0, 7.1 or 8.0

Does anyone have a way of getting it to show me all the simulators even though my Base SDK is 6.1?

Do not copy the older SDKs into newer Xcode. That is unsupported and very likely to lead to problems.

You should be using the latest SDK and setting the deployment target to the oldest OS you want to support. I believe most developers right now are using the 8.1 SDK (or just set it to latest) with a deployment target of either 6.1 or 7.1.

In Xcode 6.1 you can add simulators manually. To do so go to Window -> Devices and press the + symbol left at the bottom.

Then you can choose a combination of device type and iOS version to create.

Go to Windows -> Devices and press the plus in the bottom corner and add the simulators that you wish.
