Modified gravity models not only provide an alternative explanation of the accelerated expansion of the Universe, but also have scale-dependent effects on gravity and structure formation. Detailed predictions deep in the nonlinear regime are required for a faithful comparison of such models to observations. They can be obtained from cosmological simulations that account for the modifications of gravity. We will present a new code that is well suited for this purpose, as well as discuss first science applications. In particular, we have investigated degeneracies of modified gravity effects in chameleon type f{R}-models with uncertainties in the baryonic physics. Understanding them will be of critical importance for successfully detecting or reliably ruling out modified gravity models with upcoming surveys.
