Xcode 9 adds behavior for setting a custom directory for iOS Simulator screenshots.

Press ⌥⌘S or Hold the ⌥ Option key and select the menu item:

File > New Screen Shot...

This presents a file "Save As..." dialog. Note the new checkbox on the dialog:

Use this as the default location

Check that checkbox to change the default directory for ⌘S iOS Simulator screenshots.

Menu item for "New Screen Shot..."

Checkbox for "Use this as the default location"
