Completely uninstall 1.1 and make a clean save without the mod installed before upgrading! Please ensure that there are no loose files left behind.

Spoiler:
Show
No special procedure required - simply replace the files.
After installing 1.3, make sure to open the Config once for the update to be applied BEFORE entering cover!
1.3 will apply new default camera settings that will replace your custom settings (if you have changed them). If you have them, re-apply your custom camera settings after upgrading!
In case anyone is having trouble getting this to work, I was using an alt start mod and found out I needed to load a new game without this mod installed, save, then install this mod. Works perfectly after that. For some reason SKK Fast Start new game prevents this from loading correctly. Might be the same with other alt start mods to. This also works perfectly with a controller as well in 2025.
Not sure if this mod has been abandoned or not. works on the newest version of FO4/F4SE/ENB. no issues at all config works fine, animations seems okay? no tearing or stretching, theres one bugged out movement when you go into cover and force move away your stuck in cover crouching and the shadow of the player looks like a gremlin to say the least :P. There is also a bug within custom camera and this mod, not sure what it is as i need to delve into it more, there is a config option for swap shoulders on custom camera, if ANY time you take cover, your shoulder swap is bugged out. Will update on findings over playtime
Hi. I'm using Custom Camera mod. Any way to fix the camera setting returning to default setting when exiting cover? or any way to fix the over-extended aiming when incover when the camera set to fix instead of dynamic?
I am using this mod as well. When I exit cover, I simply press the switch shoulder button to reapply the camera settings. A bit janky, but it works, and allows me to use both mods together.
Technically yes, but it's clunky. I appreciate the mod author for creating this in the first place, but it really needs to be updated/improved, or revamped completely. Still, it works with a gamepad as I remember using this a while back.
if mod requires the script extender then for f*#@ sake info it as required mod like any others got lot crashes because taken cover and i dont gonna load script extender because those damm updates thank you not fixing crashes let always script exterder do job
Amazing mod. I will say I do not see the config in Aid though, even though the mod is actively working. Anyone know how to get the config? Any help would be very appreciated

I highly recommend using Take Cover in conjunction with FO4 Hotkeys!
You can grab the optional file in the Files tab to add a binding for <Shift + Right Mouse Button> to activate Take Cover.
You can also assign the Take Cover activator to a slot in FO4Hotkeys' Hotkey Manager.
