Let's Dance v.0.02

8-30-2016 - Update v.0.02 - Added one dance animation (Credit: invalidfate) and three idles (Victory Celebration, Cheering, and Knife Twirl) to the holotape


Required Files

None, just an updated version of the game.  No DLC required.

What this Mod Does

Adds a "Let's Dance Holotape" to the game.  Play the holotape on your Pip Boy, select which dance or idle you want your character to perform, exit the Pip Boy, and your character will start performing it.

There are currently four dances to choose from:

1) Skyrim Dance: 44 seconds
2) Booty Shake Dance: 30 seconds
3) Magnolia Dance: 124 seconds
4) Fan Dance: Long

And three Idles:

1) Victory Celebration
2) Cheering
3) Knife Twirling

Must be in third person view for this to work!

When selecting the dance or idle and exiting your Pip Boy, there will be a 2 second pause before your character starts doing it automatically.

To exit a dance or idle animation, pull up your Pip Boy screen, then exit it.  The Magnolia dance and Fan dance can be exited at any time.  The other dances and idles can be interrupted for 5 seconds, but they will start back up until finished.  For example, if you choose Booty Shake dance, your character basically has to stick with it for 30 seconds.

Difference between this and other dance mods

Mainly the mechanism to make the player dance.  This mod doesn't require re-routing a controller button or typing console commands to make the player dance.

Dancing around The Wasteland replaces the hand-to-hand power attack animation button, so when you press it the player does the Magnolia dance (but not Skyrim or Booty shake dance).

Skyrim Dance Animations works by selecting the desired actor, and then typing a console command for the specified dance.  It has two dances in common with Let's Dance.

Where are the video and screen shots from?

This mod was originally part of an upcoming DLC-sized quest mod called Fusion City Rising.  One of the quest levels involves a 15-story night club with multiple dance floors.  Some play testers commented they wanted the player to be able to dance with the club patrons.  Once we made the dance mechanism functional, we figured we might as well release it as a separate mod.

The pictures of the night club in the screen shots and video are from Fusion City Rising.

Credits

We did not create these animations.  All credit for those goes to Umpa and Invalidfate.  All this mod does is make the animations more easily accessible to the player.
