I believe you are right in emphasising a distinction between Gods nature and will. I see Gods nature as relating to that movement within Gods inner being (generation of son and procession of spirit) and his will as relating to his acts towards creation. Why do you see this as undermining Gods simplicity? How do you understand the nature/will distinction?
Do you understand that there is a difference between positing a "necessary creation" and saying that it was necessary that God create? It does not seem that you do.
