House ruling skill list in the character sheet?

We're a bit tired of the numerous skills in different CoC rulesets (vanilla, A!C, Now, Invictus, Dark Ages) bloating the skill list with ugly "Science: Insight" skills we have to write in, and also would like to collapse some skills to one as house rules (e.g. Listen and Spot Hidden to Alertness Delta Green style, Conceal/Hide/Sneak into Fieldcraft A!C style, Persuade and Fast Talk into one skill, etc.).

Is this possible with the ruleset? In other words, can I edit the character sheet to accommodate the above? Deleting skills from the sheet, and adding new ones?

Hi Magnimost

Its best to create a new Era and then define the skills for that Era. Then set the Era in Options. Then when you create characters they will get the skills for that Era.
You can also export the Era for reuse in another campaign.

Well that was easier than I expected, thank you!

Here our slightly simplified skill list :D
