What autistic shit is this edition? Should I just lobotomize one of the more autistic sheets and cut it down to a reasonable 2 pages front and back?

Grab a sheet of lined paper and a pencil.

Too many things to keep up with. For BX that's easy to do; all you really need is prime attributes, saving, and the roll to hit AC9 and everything comes easily from that. Some degree of laziness is acceptable with respect to a character sheet.

and a 2 page sheet for myth and magic which is a 2e clone.
but i understand OPs pain. finding a 2e sheet that isn't information overload is a pain in the fucking ass. it always makes me just want to play either an older edition or 5e.

I do enjoy this one's simplicity and that spell sheet is nice. I was going to alter a 6 page one by adding in a spell sheet and remove that extended family stuff, while keeping the massive details just in case. But then I got to thinking, how fucking often do people consult these extraneous charts? The one I referred to in the OP is by Murphy. It has all of the problems I listed in the OP, and I noticed it has an extremely large space for treasure, contains encumbrance adjustments, and repeats some biographical information on pages 4 and 5. But why were those so important to bloat up the character sheet? How often do you need to consult the Reputation, Patrons, and Honor/Station sections that couldn't be jotted down in some notes, and yet there's no place for a simple list of known spells or the amount of ammunition you carry? It's weird to me.
I'll ask my group whether they want the simple 3 page sheet or a detailed 6 page sheet with my edits. They probably won't care either way but I just can't see us using a majority of this info often enough that looking in the books would be harmful.

You can still use a notecard for 2e. The character sheets are just bloated with shit you probably won't use. I use B/X character sheets, and use a DM screen when I have to check up with specific stuff like system shock.
