Hi!

By far, the best way that I know is this amazing tool. https://mapshaper.org/ 
It uses topological algorithms to simplify it respecting the intersections. Plus, it comes with a slider that allows you to choose how much you want to simplify it in %

Hope it helps!

Sounds like you have many vector points, did simplify remove many of them?

 

Also try Object >> Path >> Cleanup

 

If you dont need to place into InDesign or After Effects
