Thank you very much! I knew I was making an unneccessary and easy mistake. 

Best Regards,

Veit

The following code should be self-explanatory. You need to weight the constant as well.

*----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
clear*
program wls_sim, eclass
	drop _all
	set obs 10000
	
	gen x1 = rnormal()
	gen x2 = rnormal()
	
	gen e =  rnormal()
	
	* conditional heteroskedasticity
	gen s = exp(0.4*x1)
	gen e_het= s*e
	
	* outcome variable
	gen y_het=10 +3*x1 + 2*x2 +e_het
	
	* OLS
	reg y_het x1 x2
	
	* WLS
	g ones = 1
	g known_ones = ones/s

	gen known_y=y/s
	gen known_x1=x1/s
	gen known_x2=x2/s
	
	reg known_y known_ones known_x1 known_x2, nocons
	matrix vCoeff = e(b)
	ereturn repost b = vCoeff
end

simulate _b, reps(100): wls_sim
