Issue: During dialog phase of Where There's Smoke directly after Jake asks for help in dealing with Aiden, upon choosing a dialog option (doesn't matter which one, result is the same), the pseudo cinematic will not continue. Camera will be stuck on player. You literally can't do anything from this point forward.
Solution: Save before activating the dialog sequence at the destroyed home with the dead gunners. Disable CHW. Load game and continue save. At any point after the dialog scene with the player, Jake, and Aiden completes, you can re-enable CHW. I wait until after the firefight and ending dialog, however.
Just thought I'd throw this out there for anyone else encountering this issue. None of the other solutions/workarounds I looked into had anything to do with my specific problem with this quest. But I'm certainly not the only one using CHW so there must be more people with this exact quest hang-up scratching their heads. Guessing it has something to do with the way CHW hijacks weapon equipping/unequipping or whatever activator/command is used to get Aiden/Jake to put their guns away not firing because of CHW.
