I'm so happy you made this! The familiar later game gets wrecked badly and i was hoping the bear was an upgrade to it. But it too kept getting wrecked. I thought about buffing them in xedit but i don't know what feels right to set them to.
No problem and you're welcome! I may release a different version depending on how well this one plays with other perk overhauls, otherwise Bear Boy doesn't actually get that much in the way of a buff (other than his respectable 340 health pool). As the description states I made this with Adamant in mind - the +300 armor and +50% magic resist from those trees made him an instant tank. I wanted to make it in such a way you were rewarded for putting time and effort (and perk points!) into the Conjuration tree and not just "Here's your new DEATH BEEAAAAR", hence the design choice.
Really surprised (but not really) that the vanilla Conjuration tree has so little for things that aren't the Atronachs or Dremora Lord.
It does benefit from the Twin Souls perk now though, or Adamant's 3x minions variant - triple spirit bears (4 when I had Lucien out) was hilarious.
The bear did need a buff as its AI pathing is a little slow so while its trying to figure things out it's getting wailed on most of the time. I dunno what to change for the familiar as i wanted to slightly buff it but i don't know the right balance for it.
And yea default you only have the familiar and flaming familiar that is non something pulled from oblivion. The flaming one tho is more of a homing fireball. It runs in and explodes. Shame they didn't think to add more using the Kyne's Sacred Trials as there are are the others Guardians.
The mod names shown on Vortex were a bit confusing. The main file is called "Prouder Pride of Hirstaang" and the optional file is "Arcane Accessories - Prouder Pride of Hirstaang - Alternate Armors - Light Stalhrim Fur". It made me think that the optional file included everything, but it does not.
Regrettably I have 0 experience with Vortex at the moment, so I'm sure it has something to do with the way I named the files or the mod page but I'm not entirely sure how. Glad you got it sorted!
The esl file names themselves are totally fine, it's just the mod name when installing the downloaded package that seems funky for the optional file. Anyway, that's only a small matter I thought to bring to your attention.

So again thank you!
