Simplify+ earns its place in the superhive library by extending Blender's built-in Simplify with modifier-level controls, from the Expose Wizard to modifier-based selection and keymap shortcuts. Version 1.1.0 broadened it to all modifiers except Grease Pencil.
Simplify+ is an add-on from Cosmo Mídias that builds on Blender's familiar Simplify feature to improve the 3D Viewport experience. Where standard Simplify focuses on decreasing subdivisions, Simplify+ adds a broader set of tools for working with modifiers directly in the viewport.
As of version 1.1.0, the add-on supports all modifiers except Grease Pencil ones. The Expose Wizard button reveals every modifier toggle from your active view layers in a single click, and Shift + Clicking a toggle button selects the objects carrying that modifier. A Select All by Modifier entry sits in the Select Menu and works through the F3 Search operator, custom shortcuts, and Quick Favorites. You can also rename modifiers without losing track of their status.
Restore to Collection and Restore to Collection Selection Only can be bound to shortcuts through Blender's Keymap, and the latter also triggers via Shift + Click on the Restore to Collection button. Version 1.1.0 arrived in October 2024, following the first public release in September 2024. A demo video is available, and the add-on is listed as free here in the catalog.
Simplify+ Add-On - Viewport Perfomance is best for blender artists who want more control over modifiers and viewport handling than the built-in Simplify feature offers.
Simplify+ Add-On - Viewport Perfomance is completely free to download and use.
Simplify+ supports all Blender modifiers with one exception: Grease Pencil modifiers are not covered. From version 1.1.0 onward, the add-on works across the full modifier range, letting you toggle, expose, and select by modifier type from your active view layers. If your workflow leans heavily on Grease Pencil, keep in mind those specific modifiers fall outside its scope. For everything else, the modifier-handling tools apply as described. The developer's documentation covers the supported operators and features in more detail.
Simplify+ includes an Expose Wizard button that exposes, in one click, all the modifier toggles from your active view layers. Alongside it, you can Shift + Click a modifier toggle button to select the objects that carry that respective modifier. The Select Menu also gains a Select All by Modifier entry, which works through the F3 Search operator, custom shortcuts, and Quick Favorites. Together these give you several ways to reach and act on modifiers rather than checking each object individually. Full details live in the developer's documentation.
Simplify+ lets you create shortcuts for its operators through Blender's Keymap, including Restore to Collection and Restore to Collection Selection Only. You can also trigger Restore to Collection Selection Only by Shift + Clicking the Restore to Collection button. Beyond that, the add-on supports renaming modifiers without losing track of their status, so your setup stays organized as you work. Since version 1.1.0, its custom properties are API defined through the Property Definitions module. Check the developer's documentation for the complete keymap and operator list.
Simplify+ is listed as free here in the catalog. For current licensing, seat options, and any purchase details, check the developer's page, since those terms can change over time. The add-on is developed by Cosmo Mídias for Blender and reached its first public release in September 2024, with version 1.1.0 following in October 2024. A demo video is also available if you want to see the feature set. The developer's documentation and community channels offer further support.
