End game issues.

Looking to get some advice on potential rig changes, end game has always been a problem. Laggy, freeze frames, the day counter would stop for a few mins..etc

I run very minimal mods, some out of date but nothing game changing.

CPU: i7-8700k @3.70Ghz 32G Ram Have an SSD - but game is installed on HDD GeForce Rtx 2070

Any advice on changes, got a few hundred for the my holiday present.

Wards and wardens problems

I need help with this because my heir has an awful education.

Despite owning and having wards and wardens installed I can't do the visit university activity and wetnurse doesn't show up in my court positions.

In fact, only when I installed the game on a new laptop did I have this option (briefly), but it's disappeared again.

Yes, I'm independent (Shanenshah), yes, I have a university and yes it's ticked in my list of DLC.

My bastard son changed house and culture after I chose to play as him

So I was recently playing as the Normandie dynasty in 867 and I chose a bastard son to play as. As soon as he had a child he not only changed house completely he changed culture from norman to French. My question is, if I had legitimised him would this not have happened?

Suddenly became King of England! Now what?

I'm a newbie. Just started playing less than a month ago. I've been playing the recommended starter as the Petty King of Munster with the goal of uniting Ireland. I almost conquered all of Ireland, when, out of nowhere, I was installed as King of England. Now I have this massive kingdom, like, I wasn't even King of Ireland yet! Yes, I had become a powerful vassal of the English king, but, still, umm, whoah! I guess I had been elected king by my fellow vassals...

The question, is, what do I do now? This is a lot of responsibility. There's a lot of sheep that need shearing, and harts that need hunting, and noble ladies in waiting that need to be seduced. I'm not sure I was cut out for this role in life (virtually, I mean).

Reforming paganism

I'm trying to roleplay run with a character in Britain who refounds Druidism. I was planning on doing this by reforming paganism. But I realized that all of the holy sites for paganism are way far away from where my character is based. Is there something I'm missing or is this playthrough a bust?

Is it possible for my player to become a shadow ruler?

I'm new to the game, playing for just a few days so I don't know if it's possible or not to have my character to rule the land in the shadows? Maybe the head of the county is a minor and the character I'm playing is the regent. I saw the Wards and Wardens DLC (and its cheap, less than 2 dollars), so I got this idea.

Confusing New Arrangements

Does anyone have a clue as to how to initiate a feast/hunt/pilgrimage with the newfangled update for the Xbox version of the game? It won't let me start anything, and every button I press just exits me from the thing and I have to start the struggle all over again. :p

La France dans CK3

Voila je vous explique, j'ai envie de faire la France actuelle dans CK3.

Sauf que je n'arrive pas a faire le tracé exact. Par exemple quand on prend Lille on a forcément Courtrai (Ville en Belgique) pareil pour le compté de Ypres qui compte Dunkerque alors que Ypres est en Belgique.

Du coup j'aimerais savoir comment je peux faire pour dissocier les compté/duché

Merci !

Difficulties maintaining my empire

I need help managing my kingdom.

I try to create alliances by persuading and befriending people, but it never works. My vassals always have a -100 opinion of me. Even when I give them gold or host feasts, it only improves their opinion slightly, despite taking the diplomatic route. The problem is that rebellions keep occurring.

Additionally, I don’t know how to improve my army. I position them strategically to enhance their performance, but it’s still not enough—they only achieve a two-star rating.

I have a game bug.

https://preview.redd.it/pi3z5rtpc44e1.png?width=420&format=png&auto=webp&s=8f62dc1c4701cb999fe510c8f7604a07cf5b1399

I was playing as an adventurer in a CK3 Multiplayer and suddenly my character could no longer visit any type of holding. I have checked, every other AI adventurer on the save can't visit holdings. I am sure it's not client, my friend tested, it is for sure the save.

There is nothing that preceded this bug, and I have no idea how to fix it. Does anyone have any ideas? I have tried traveling and moving my camp, to no avail. Has anyone ever had this bug before? I couldn't find any previous mention of it.

Hired a random courtier to become a jester due to high aptitude. Between the jester costume, being my official foreign relations expert, and his brutal combat kills, I found my favourite character.
