What this Mod Does
Makes NPC's dance by shooting them with one of the following weapons:
1) Let's Dance Blaster - based on the Alien Blaster Pistol. Uses craftable Let's Dance Blaster ammo 2) Let's Dance Man - based on the Fat Man, the explosion creates an instant dance party. Uses craftable Let's Dance Mini Nukes 3) Let's Dance Grenades - Craftable grenades, the explosion causes everyone in the AOE to start dancing.
Using these "weapons" on NPC's will NOT cause them to become hostile. They will just start dancing using one of four random dance animations:
1) Skyrim Dance: 44 seconds 2) Booty Shake Dance: 30 seconds 3) Magnolia Dance: 124 seconds 4) Victory Dance: 15 seconds
You can use the dance weapons in battle to make hostile NPC's stop attacking and start dancing. The dance weapons work on settlers, companions and pretty much any humanoid NPC including Super Mutants.

How to acquire the Let's Dance guns and grenades
Craft at any chemistry station under the Utility category.
Or console command: help Dance 4 and then player.additem plus the 8 digit code that pops up under the "Weapon" and "Ammo" categories.
How do I make the player dance too?
Two options:
1) Use the mod Let's Dance, which is fully compatible with Let's Dance - NPC Version. 2) Drop a Let's Dance grenade at the player's feet and wait for it to explode
Notes
- The Blaster can be upgraded with a scope, long barrel, and new grip.
- Let's Dance Blaster and Let's Dance Man allow use of VATS for targeting.
- You can equip the Let's Dance weapons on your humanoid companions to help put your enemies in a dancing mood before you kill them. Unless you have a pretty solid CPU/GPU, equipping a dance gun/grenades on more than one companion may adversely affect game performance. Try equipping on one companion first.
- The Let's Dance weapons do not work on non-humanoids such as bears, dogs, robots, or super mutant hounds. No behemoths or feral ghouls either.
- Produces weird looking animation when shooting an NPC wearing power armor
- The dance animations don't always respect collisions with couches and certain other furniture
- If too close to an explosion from a Let's Dance Man or Let'
This Fallout 4 mod lets you make almost any NPC dance using the Let's Dance Blaster, Let's Dance Man, and Let's Dance Grenades. It works on Settlers, Companions, Human Enemies, Synths, and SuperMutants, causing them to perform one of four dance animations. A fun, quirky addition for players who want to liven up the wasteland.
