Customizable Sheets - Similar to Savage Worlds (Tabbed Layout)

Short Description: I'm looking for a character sheet that could be customized similar to ChaosOS and Finderski - Savage Worlds (Tabbed Layout). Primarily I mean the ability to hide/rename attributes/skills/abilities. Longer: I tend to run homebrew rules that pick from a variety of systems. While I've seen many excellent character sheets for a particular system, I tend to make rule modifications that make it cumbersome for players to use the sheet. When playing table top I can just tell players to cross out and write in new skills as needed. It gets clunkier with the digital character sheets if I have to tell them "okay, we aren't using Animal Ken or Languages, and remember Boating is actually Werewolf Transformation (random example)".  I originally thought it would be impossible to find a sheet where skills can be added/removed/changed and I was considering the merits of just using a handout as a character sheet (so just a text file), until I saw the Savage Worlds (Tabbed Layout) and was really impressed with the level of customization it offered. The only reason I don't want to use that one is that it assigns values based on a die type (d4, d6, etc) and I'm looking for rules that rely on whole values (a strength of 3 vs a strength of d8). I started looking through character sheets, but the sheer volume of character sheets available makes that very difficulty. So I was hoping someone with more experience could either direct me to one or confirm no such option existed.

I'm not familiar with the savage worlds sheet, but if it does everything you need except the stat rating, we can probably show you how to change that to accept a value. I'm working on a sheet that is designed to be usable for almost any game, but it wont be as good as any given sheet for its specific game. But for people willing to accept a few compromises for flexibility, it should work. It's a way off completion, sadly.

Okay, I'm not sure if you mean this particular sheet or Savage Worlds in general, so sorry if I give more info than needed. Savage Worlds works off single die rolls (primarily), of either d4/d6/d8/d10/d12, depending upon your skill level. The way this sheet is set up is that instead of entering a value for Strength of 3, you choose d8 from the drop down menu. You then use the macros on the sheet to do most of the rolls. I like the customization of renaming/adding/removing abilities, but don't actually want to roll dice that way (I'd rather have a value and then write the macros that call upon them for various functions).

I'm incredibly new here, but my limited experience is that the sheets are either very specific to a setting or have so much information that they overwhelm my casual players. A more 'bare bones' sheet with customization would be nice, but I have no knowledge of how difficult it would be to pull off. Thank you for your reply.
This is a self reply in case anyone comes across this post in a future search and had a similar interest to me. The sheet Buffy or Angel by MattBx8 is the best I've found for simplicity and customization. It has six fairly default attributes and then 20 spaces to add anything of your own naming with additional spaces on other tabs. The main tab is also relatively uncluttered of anything overly system specific, so if you are comfortable writing your own macros it works out quite nicely.
