The whole implentation of Simulacrum is, well -- to put it bluntly -- screwed up.
While working on the Spells Reference, we tried to figure out the formula. Here's our best findings (albeit
still not 100% accurate!):
Quote:
A Simulacrum is implemented as a level drained clone. Its level is not 60% of the caster's, but is determined as follows:
Single-classed mages: Original caster's level - (caster's level / 2)
Multiclassed mages: Original caster's level - (caster's level / 2) for each class
Dual classed mages: Original caster's level - (caster's total levels / 4)
Rounding is unclear for multiclassed mages, sometimes up, sometimes down. Dual classed mages have a clear advantage here. The bigger the difference between their classes, the less levels the clone loses. Note the difference between caster and original caster. This is explained further in the cheese note below.

Quite dubious, as you can see. And it goes on! A Simulacrum is an
illusion -- so why isn't it dispelled by True Sight?! Not to mention Dispel Magic...
