Has anyone been able make a (stablish) ternary planet system? That is, three Large planets all orbiting each other, with them not colliding with each other within, say, a few minutes? I don't expect anyone to do it with a star, but you may do so if you wish.
Can anyone do this? Is it even possible?

I made a star of lava and threw some water dots with pen-shot around it and the 4 of them are still there after 5 minutes. Still counting. I don't think clusters of dots(that's what you mean with big planets right) can stay together in orbit. So, yes for dots, not for big planets though.

One time I managed to - I think by accident - simulate the Sun-Earth-Moon system, and having liked the result I kept it up for hours on end. I didn't screenshoot it, though, and subsequent tries to make the system were met with failure. I have not yet, however, attempted a system of three equally sized planets orbiting each other in Planet Simulator yet...

How could the ''moon'' orbit ''the earth''? |

It's just a system orbiting a central point consisting of one large and one medium (or medium and small, or large and small), and in turn orbiting the star.

I think I had either large and small or medium and small - I do remember certainly that the moon was of size small. I think the accident occurred when I made a few medium or large planets circle the sun and randomly shot all sorts of small planets (or did crashing large planets already provide the necessary debris?)...
Presumably, one would intentionally acquire the Sun-Earth-Moon system by using the default star in the center, send a large or medium planet in an orbit, and then linearly shoot a small planet at an angle ahead of the orbiting planet at a low to moderate speed, giving enough time for the gravity of the medium planet to take hold on the small planet. As aforementioned, I have not been able to duplicate the system ever since I made it...

I've gotten one with large and medium working before, but never with a multi-planet star system.

I've made a multi-star planet system in the portable PS, and have been able to replicate it many times.
I have not, however made Ternary planet systems.

Ah, I'd forgotten about the mobile version. I have a new boredom activity now, I suppose. I'll take a screenshot if I manage to achieve it.
