    As the field of vehicular communication continues to evolve, the need for reliable and realistic simulation tools becomes increasingly critical. This paper introduces a novel 5G New Radio Vehicle to Everything (NR V2X) simulator, a state-of-the-art tool to emulate unicast, multicast, and broadcast communication modes. The simulator is built upon the well-established ns-3 network simulator and integrates seamlessly with the Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) traffic simulator. This integration allows for the creation and analysis of complex vehicular communication scenarios, enhancing the realism and applicability of the simulations. One of the key features of our simulator is its flexible architecture. This flexibility enables it to accommodate a wide range of scenarios, making it a versatile tool for researchers and practitioners in vehicular communication. In addition to its technical capabilities, the simulator boasts a user-friendly interface. This interface enhances its accessibility, making it an easyto- use tool for researchers of all levels of expertise. We present an in-depth analysis of the performance of different communication modes under various scenarios. Key performance indicators such as average throughput, delay, and packet loss are evaluated, providing valuable insights into the intricacies of nextgeneration vehicular communication systems. Our work contributes significantly to the advancement of 5G NR V2X research. The simulator is a useful resource for exploring and understanding the complexities of vehicular communication systems, paving the way for future advancements in this exciting field. Our work will inspire further research and development in vehicular communication, bringing us one step closer to realizing the full potential of intelligent transportation systems.
