INSTALLATION
You must place the .esp at the bottom of the list when you launch the game to obtain the 19 books
You can find the “Spell tome: Summon XXXX”, the "Spell tome:Dismiss Summoned Bear" and the “Spell tome: Summon Spectral Bear”, at Farengar Secret-Fire in Dragonsreach/Fort Dragon (Whiterun/Blancherive) or with an other "Spell Vendor" (ex: Sybille Stentor in the Blue Palace/Palais Bleu in Solitude).
Duration of the summon: 1 hour (15' for the Spectral Bear)
Bugs or Problems
1) You can only have one Follower at a time: if you want a different one (in my other mods), you need to dismiss the first one before you recruit them.
If telling the follower to return at home (With message: “Your companion heads home”) doesn't dismiss him, or if you have "lost" the “active” Follower, you can try this:
Type “²” or "`" or "~" key to get into console, and type:
set playeranimalcount to 0
2) With Amazing Follower Tweaks by Dheuster , or other mod with followers, if problem to dismiss the followers, you can uncheck this mod (AFT or other) in the Data Files when you launch the game
If problem with the Dialog Box of the followers/ companions (Wait - Follow - Trade - Favor - Dismiss) you can also enter / exit a house or make a fast travel
3) If you have any problem with these mounts, you can try a FAST TRAVEL...
Credits
Bears Mounts and Followers SE adds 19 summonable bears, including armored Dovahbears and pandas, plus 10 fully-voiced followers located in Windhelm. Bears serve as mounts or simple followers, with a dismiss spell for convenience. A niche but popular creature mod for Skyrim Special Edition, with 367 endorsements and last updated in 2019.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 367 endorsements and over 12,500 downloads, so it's a proven favorite for bear lovers.
- Huge variety: 19 different bear types, including armored and spectral variants, so you can match your playstyle.
- Fully-voiced followers add personality, making them more than just pack mules or mounts.
⚠️ Cons
- Only one follower at a time, so you can't have a bear army unless you use other mods that override this.
- Last updated in 2019, so it may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim SE updates or other mods.
- Summon duration is limited (1 hour, 15 min for spectral), so you'll need to recast often if you want a permanent companion.
For Skyrim players who want a unique twist on mounts and followers—riding a bear is a blast, and the voiced bears add charm. If you're a completionist who loves collecting creatures, this mod gives you a whole menagerie. Skip if you prefer humanoid followers or want deep gameplay changes; this is purely about bears.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the .esp at the very bottom of your load order to get all 19 spell books—otherwise some may not appear.
- Buy the summoning spells from Farengar in Dragonsreach or any spell vendor; they're not automatically added to your spellbook.
- If you want a different follower from another mod, dismiss your current bear first—you can only have one follower at a time.
