I've been a long time user of Simplify 3D and there are TWO critical features that Simplify 3D needs to have for it to pretty much be perfect for my needs:
1. Modifiers - Give us the ability to change various settings such as layer and infill settings to a small specific region of the object. For example, screw holes. I always want to be able to print the area surrounding a screw hole at 100% so being able to control the infill settings around a screw hole would be great. Yes, I use S3D v5's "Solid Infill Extra Expansion" feature and it tries but many times fails to generate the necessary 100% infill around the holes. Having that level of control is a MUST HAVE. See Prusa Slicer's Modifiers for more details.
2. Organic Supports - Simplify 3D once upon a time some years ago was one of the leaders in support structures. Now in 2025, the four different support infill patterns is very outdated compared to the organic tree-like supports offered by other slicers. Come-on, Simplify 3D... everyone wants this!!

Re: Modifiers AND Organic Supports
One of the pioneers of support structures a few years ago was Simplify 3D. In comparison to the organic tree-like supports provided by other slicers, the four distinct support infill patterns are now quite antiquated in 2025. Simplify 3D, please
