Help needed please - Father and son immersive playthrough Europe 1100

Hi all,

I have had a rare and epic immersive playthrough with my son (aged 10) on Bannerlord 1.211 with the Europe 1100 mod, diplomacy and others. It has been a unique opportunity for my son to learn about our family history, coat of arms, his grandparents and ancestors lineage whilst also learning the European map improving his comprehension, maths skills..... I could go on ((huge thanks to those who created this mod and game).

We have hit a wall however after agreeing to form a kingdom year 1108 just before his character is due to come of age - Padraic O'Gruagain see attached screenshot. We fought off multiple kingdoms really well in some memorable and epic sieges and battles but eventually we were brought to our knees and have lots of debt (£600k) partly because I didn't realise peace tribute payments are indefinite until you declare war and the importance of war exhaustion theme in diplomacy mod we also have included in our playthrough. Its been a great lesson in dealing with the highs and lows of life and also how to deal with defeat for him and never giving up despite the adversity. However, secretly I was banking on once all our fiefs and castles were taken we could return to being a clan ready for his character to take over leadership of the clan because we only have companions and family members - no other lords/clans in our kingdom. This hasn't happened despite not owning any fiefs or castles etc anymore. We are still a kingdom. Moreover, when I try to click "abdicate leadership" it crashes the game every time. My character - Will O'Gruagain (photo attached) is aged 50 and I want to pass over the playthrough to my son with a freedom for him to take the clan wherever he deems fit. I don't want to leave him with a failed kingdom in debt..... oh the shame of it!

I am contemplating just trying to battle through it and reform the kingdom but at risk of repeating myself I would prefer for him to be able to play just as a clan and take it where he wants. Any and all help is most welcome.

Thank you in advance one and all.
