That's what people here are asking for. They want 25-50 "skills" so everything is easier.

I still say just have everyone choose three skills they name whatever they want that covers everything that fits their concept a la Over the Edge. 3 skills does everything they need should make the low-skills camp happy.

My single dad character would have had:
Ex-Cop
Tough Guy
Single-Dad

as his three skills. Concept covered. Only three skills.
Now if one really wanted to make this more like Over The Edge, you'd have to take one Incompetency. Gianni's would have been:
Incompetency: Modern Technology.

Personally, I like all the skills and find them in no way fiddly or too hard to remember.

But if it is really all too much, just go the Over the Edge route. That will make character creation, really, really fast and easy.
