If a pilot is trying to complete 3 day or night landings every 90 days in a multi-engine aircraft in order to be multi-engine current per FAA requirements, can those landings be done in a Simulator or a Flight Training Device?

Yes, as long as the simulator is properly certified (level D) you can do your takeoffs and landings to regain currency. Long haul airline pilots frequently have trouble staying current for 3 takeoffs and landings in 90 days. This is because it takes 4 pilots to complete a long haul flight but only 1 will get the takeoff and landing. 3 trips a month is about all you do, and if you are scheduled to be the augment pilot, you don't get a takeoff and landing. |

It can be done. As mentioned here:
The regulation is 14 CFR 61.57. For more details, you can read this AC. |
