You can edit Parameter-2 value 0.0 to 180.0 like below

(function (){ 
  var actionCode = "/version 3 /name [ 4 73657431]" 
  + "/isOpen 1 /actionCount 1" 
  + "/action-1 {/name [ 7 616374696f6e31]" 
  + "/keyIndex 0 /colorIndex 0 /isOpen 1" 
  + "/eventCount 1" 
  + "/event-1 {/useRulersIn1stQuadrant 0 /internalName (ai_plugin_simplify)" 
  + "/isOpen 0 /isOn 1 /hasDialog 1 /showDialog 0 /parameterCount 4" 
  + "/parameter-1 {" 
  + "/key 1919182693 /showInPalette 4294967295" 
  + "/type (unit real) /value 100.0 /unit 592474723}" 
  + "/parameter-2 {" 
  + "/key 1634561652 /showInPalette 4294967295 /type (unit real) /value 180.0 /unit 591490663}" 
  + "/parameter-3 {" 
  + "/key 1936553064 /showInPalette 4294967295 /type (boolean) /value 0}" 
  + "/parameter-4 {" 
  + "/key 1936552044 /showInPalette 4294967295 /type (boolean) /value 0}}}"; 
  var tmp = File(Folder.desktop + "/tmpSet1.aia");   
  tmp.open('w');   
  tmp.write(actionCode); 
  tmp.close(); 
  app.loadAction(tmp); 
  app.doScript("action1", "set1", false);   
  //app.unloadAction("set1",""); 
  tmp.remove(); 
  }());

Its work fine in my environment.

To set showDialog value 0 to 1 in the 8th line and retry it. The dialog will come up and you can check parameters.

      interesting but if applied on a simple oval with extra points it tends to actually add points.


      Thanks for reply Ten A and Loic .

      As you suggest It may be useful and Simplify windows is opening in Illustrator

      How I will set these Simplify value "Curve Precision " and "Angle Threshold "

      value and how I will make "show original " clicked.

      I have set all these value

      so Please assist me
