Simulator list disappears in Xcode 6.1 after installing Xcode 6.3

I downloaded new Xcode 6.3 and while installation (with drag-n-drop feature, not using App-Store) it asked me if I want to keep both or replace the old Xcode 6.1. I kept both for some reasons. But after installation new Xcode 6.3 works fine but I'm missing simulator list in old Xcode 6.1. It only shows iOS Device on the list.
Yes, I created and replaced with several new scheme, tried to edit it. Also tried to add simulators from Xcode -> Open Developer Tool -> iOS Simulator an then Hardware > Device > Manage Devices from here and here. In this process simulator even shows up. I checked package contents of Xcode 6.1. Platforms (both OS and Simulator) are all there. I know I can restore it by deleting from application folder and reinstall it. But if there any way so I can get and make work simulators for xcode 6.1 without reinstall it? And What is the reason behind this simulator disappearance? I'm guessing PATH issue. Am I right?
Thank you for your time.

I would say Xcode is now corrupt after choosing to Keep Both, which merges the files in the two apps, as far as I'm aware.

You need to download both Xcode 6.1.1 and 6.3 from the Apple Developer Downloads site and install them using separate names:

  1. Delete the existing /Applications/Xcode.app.
  2. Drag Xcode 6.1.1 into /Applications and then rename it Xcode611.app.
  3. Drag Xcode 6.3 into /Applications and then rename it Xcode63.app.
  4. Add both to your Dock as desired.
