This problem is more interesting that I thought when I first read it (as Casebash). If you decide not to create the simulation, you are indifferent about having made the decision as you know that you are the original and that you were always going to have this experience. However, if you take this decision, then you are thankful that you did as otherwise there is a good chance that simulated you wouldn’t exist and be about to experience a beach.
