To be honest old chap, i cannot imagine it becoming a great deal easier than it already is.

I have never seen a simplified version myself.

various "easy classical arrangements" books have versions of it transposed into keys with fewer flats, and only including the first 20 bars or so (right before the lh arpeggios enter--the "hard part"). 

why such a rush?

the only part i think could possibly be hard is with that beautiful melody, u no the one u hear in ocean's eleven. you could simplify those by playing the left hand as a chord, and the upper voice in the right hand, which is like......one note, or maybe at most a 2 note chord.
you dont need a simplified version, just read that stuff right off the original, and presto, ez clair delune

I've been asked to fill in a couple of gaps at a charity event and they requested claire de lune, never looked at the piece before so i thought a simple version would be better. I've learned it now anyway. Fairy easy to sight read actually!!!!
