But wait! Not all animations and songs are included. See Requirements and Installation.
[size=8]Introduction:[/size] I recently got back into modding Skyrim and found out about a Follower mod called Selene Kate. Apparently the mod contains dance animations, which reminded me of the Shake It! - Dance Animations mod. So after a long time I checked that out aswell, how it was doing. It evolved into a great mod with lots of variety, however alot of the Selene Kate dances are not available, which is a shame because they are nice animations. The Shake It! mod offers an easy, userfriendly way to start dance animations, so I did a bit of mod magic and combined the Kate dances with the amazing Shake It! mod. Some other animations were also added later on.
[size=8]Changes from the original Shake It!:[/size]
v1.3 - Added a new set of scripts (Credit goes to padawanjedi) as a new file in the download section. Install after the main file. --- This should fix an issue where random song selection didn´t work.
v1.2 - Added 20 Animations and 11 Songs from Dance Rave Dance Collection. (Credit goes to fakeinbox.)
v1.1 - Added 19 Animations from Dance Animation Modder Resource. (Credit goes to umpa.) --- Made these animations loop, because they are too short to last a whole song. - Disabled song repeating. --- Songs will only play once each animation.
v1.0 - Added Framework for 45 Songs and Dances from Selene Kate Follower. - Switched Spells with Shouts. --- Enables full camera movement during the animation. --- Disables glowing light from the spells in your hands. --- Disables getting stuck in a half combat/half idle pose.

[size=8]Requirements:[/size] The original Shake It mod version 4.5 is needed to provide the foundation of my mod. Then you need a bit of work and patience, because my mod does not include all the files. Some music and animations have to be acquired and installed manually with the help of my little install tutorial. That is because the missing files were not made by me and I don´t have permission from the original authors to include them. You should know about the following in order to get the full experience with my mod: Knowledge about manual mod installing Knowledge about basic animation mods with FNIS, Knowledge about extracting bsa files

[size=8]Updating:[/size] If you want to uninstall, follow the process described on the original Shake It! mod page. If you already have Shake It! and now want to add/update my mod with the new animations, you will have to do the following in order to update the MCM menu and register the new animations:
Deactivate the ShakeIt!.esp and ShakeItSomeMore!.esp (just the .esp, not the whole mod.) Load the game (Ignore Error Warning) Type in game console: bat shake Wait for MCM to register the other menus Save Quit the game Activate the ShakeIt!.esp and ShakeItSomeMore!.esp again Load your save game Open MCM Close MCM (opening and then closing will cause the MCM to update.) (bat shake does not work here for some reason) Wait for MCM to register 1 Menu Open MCM ShakeIt! and the updated, new options are there.
