the simplification amount can be tweaked in inkscape prefs.
go to inkscape prefs > then choose the misc category and there is an option in there for simplification threshold...

Hello, I'd like to request a feature, or else, a option to a tool
already in inkscape. When working with nodes, we can use "simplify
path", but we cannot choos _how much_ simplification we want. It would
be very very very nice to be able to do so. I don't know which
algorithm inkscape uses for simplification, but if it is something
like a Douglas-Peucker algorithm, it would be equivalent to select the
distance to consider points to remove from the original line.

cheers

Carlos
