Hi, I downloaded the following mods to try everything in order to replace Thalmor outfits with Noldor Armors:
Noldor Content Pack by Maty743 : https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/58656/?
Noldorin Thalmor: Obviously since I'm here.

Noldor Content Pack - High Profile Thalmor by jedp15 - Maty743 : https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/75226/?
The Thalmor dude in Winterhold Academy wears the armor but all other Thalmor dudes appears naked.... Also noticed 3 .esp files, were one appears red in NMM, saying "missing ThalmorArmor.esm, so I get CTD if I check that one in NMM, what am I doing wrong and I'm gessing the .esm is supposed to be a esp? How can this be fixed?
...Huh. I must have missed a level list or something. I'll see what I can do (though some mods also add more levels or varieties of thalmor, who might not be covered by this)
Is there any chance that you could in fact replace the vanilla Elven textures altogether so that we might see the Noldor armor on everyone, including those not in the vanilla game...?
It's fine! What'd actually be probably easier is moving the meshes from the folder they're in to the elven armor folder, and renaming them. Unfortunately the original author hasn't allowed the armor as a resource, so making this armor default would require an esp to edit the default elven armor. (So basically it's easier to do yourself rather than making a mod specifically for that; the new meshes will still point to the textures in their current folder, so no need to move the textures)
Amazing mod! Will this remove all elven and glass equipment from the Thalmors? if so I think an optional version which does not replace the gear will be much apreciated
Yes this removes their current equipment. The problem with not replacing their gear (elven and glass armor are untouched btw) is that they might not equip the Noldorin armors and weapons
I'm using Ethereal Elven Overhaul, combined with Realistic Teeth and its EEO patch (you can't really see it in these screen shots), Fine Face Textures for Men, some eyebrow mods I can't remember, and for women a texture set I made myself based off of SG Textures Renewal, and for the elven followers I use a lot I've made my own Improved NPCs type thing using Race Menu and Nifmerge to give them a better appearance. But yeah even with EEO and HD textures and custom faces the elven men are fugly -.- Elven women at least look decent. If I ever figure out Blender I'll probably make my own "improved face mesh" mod for the men. Elves shouldn't look /old/
Edit: I also use Superior Lore Friendly Hairs, though with the helmets you can't see it in this mod. Makes the hair less fugly
A blunt answer would be: "This isn't Bosmer armour. It is Noldor armour. That is why."
From a role play standpoint, the Bosmer are part of the Thalmor so it is feasible that they'd have similar armours and crafting techniques.
But breaking the fourth wall, the Noldor armours are from "The Lord of the Rings" movies; so actually one could argue that the Bosmer armours look like the Noldor armours rather than the other way round.
Additionally, both armour packs are from the exact same mod author, maty743, which should explain the similar art styles in his works.

but little detail: the high rank thalmor dont use it

Does it do that only for Thalmor who've already spawned in the game, or for all Thalmor (including ones spawned after uninstalling)?
Though since all I did was edit their outfits, I can't think of a way to fix that
