I can't seem to find a NetSim type package for the CCIE r/s. Anyone
have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Build/rent/buy/obtain a lab?

I don't think any single simulator will be enough to prepare you for
the CCIE.

I can suggest checking the following emulator (it's free):
http://www.ipflow.utc.fr/index.php/Cisco_7200_Simulator

It can run a real IOS image (thus, it is not limited in features) and
you can run several instances on the same system (making a virtual
network of routers). It can be very useful in CCIE preparation.

I would heavily suggest building a home lab with second hand gear. You
can buy second hand gear at reasonable prices. Given that most people
spend several months (or years) in preparation, having a decent lab is
a must. No simulator can give you the same experience you'll get from
real equipment.

Cheers,

WOW!

Thanks for that.

Seems impossibly difficult a project by my standards but clearly
there are other similar Open Source emulators around for
obsolete computers and games machines so I guess that
there are a few people who can do this sort of thing.

Thanks.
