What is anything but an "idea in our heads?"
Even physical sensations are just ideas of tactility.
It seems silly, as someone who isn't omniscient, to claim that our universe being a 'simulation' has no bearing upon experience. For all you know, light's speed is based on the clock-speed of a higher-dimensional crystal. It's interesting to think about, and there actually are consequences to this even if they aren't immediately discoverable.

Perceptions (I see an elephant) are different than ideas or thoughts (I think there are pink elephants in parallel universe).

What consequences? If there are consequences than yes, we can add "we're in a simulation" to our model of the world. But there can be much simpler explanation of the phenomena. Models of the world should be as simple as possible. See Occams razor.

I have a very open mind but I'm also very rational. The username is a reference to one great sci-fi sitcom by the way.

There is a difference between perceptions and ideas, though its pretty hard to illustrate because you can't describe a perception without categorizing it by ideas that are external to the perception ("elephant", for instance, is an idea, not a perception), and even short of description to others, ideas shape our internal experience of sense data on a pretty fundamental level.
