In March, Simakova won the all-around at the Russian National Championships.

Later in March Simakova competed at the EnBW DTB-Pokal Team Challenge in Stuttgart where she helped Russia win the silver medal in the team final. Individually she placed fifth in the all-around. After a subpar performance, Simakova was replaced by Aliya Mustafina on the European Championships team. She was added back onto the Euros team after Mustafina withdrew.

In August Simakova competed at the Russian Cup. After two days of competition she finished sixth in the all-around competition. Shortly after the conclusion of the Russian Cup Simakova was named to the nominative team for the 2019 World Championships alongside Angelina Melnikova, Daria Spiridonova, Lilia Akhaimova, and Aleksandra Shchekoldina. She was later injured during the training camp and was replaced by Maria Paseka.

On 20 July, Simakova was named to the Russian team to compete at the 2018 European Championships alongside Angelina Melnikova, Irina Alexeeva, Lilia Akhaimova, and Uliana Perebinosova. Together they won gold in the team finals.

On 29 September, Simakova was named on the nominative team to compete at the 2018 World Championships in Doha, Qatar alongside Lilia Akhaimova, Irina Alexeeva, Angelina Melnikova, and Aliya Mustafina. On October 17, the Worlds team was officially announced and was unchanged from the nominative team. Although Simakova originally planned on competing all four events in qualifications, she only competed on vault, balance beam, and uneven bars after hurting her ankle. During qualifications, although she scored a 0 on her vault after crashing it, Russia still qualified to the team final in second place. During team finals Simakova only competed on balance beam where she helped Russia win the silver medal behind the United States.

Simakova competed at the 2014 Gym Festival in Trnava, winning the team junior and all-around gold medal. She will turn senior in 2018, consequently becoming age-eligible for a place on the Russian gymnastics team for the 2018 World Championships.
