Plot To Fabricate Claims - Stuck

[PineconeKing]

I'm aware this question has probably been asked several times, but I'll ask it again because I couldn't find an answer. Essentially, I fabricated a claim on the duchy of Bavaria via plotting, usurped the title and gave it to my nephew. However, the plot is still active and I can't cancel it. Normally, I wait a day or two after to avoid this but I forgot this time. HALP ME???

I think your best bet would be to remove it in the save file. I haven't done this before, but make sure you check that all references to the plot are removed, as it may be included under each plot backer's character information

I had a similar problem in one of my old saves. As I couldn't be arsed mucking about in the save files, I ended up saying the plot went so well that the queen decided to quit at the top of her game and never plot again.

(I did try all the common things, such as saving and reloading, not saving and reloading, somehow getting an external force to cancel the plot (which, if you're an independent liege who can't lead armies, is surprisingly hard) and so on.)

Yeah, that glitch sucks. Another solution, though not the best, is to revoke the title manually. It'll clear up the plot and you'll get another +1 to intrigue, but the -20 opinion modifier sticks.

That glitch only happens because you pressed the usurp button before the plot resolved, while the game is paused.

Kids: when you're plotting to fabricate a claim and usurp a title, ALWAYS unpause after you press the button in the intrigue screen.

The solution is pretty simple: die.
