About this mod
Replaces all the Elven Armors found in the game to the (Gold) Noldor Remodeled version (NO ESP). Does NOT incl Weapons (bow/swords) - get the original/fixed version for those!
- Permissions and credits
This part isn't mandatory.. But if you would like to support me - donations are welcome here: PayPal.me/SanderLeegwater or follow on Reddit, YouTube/@XnnMod and 
I downloaded the Noldor content pack SSE with bow fix but personally was not looking for even more armors (or weapons, tho they are very very pretty) to add to my game but a Mod that would replace the Vanilla Elven Armors. So I happen to stumble (google) on a guide online where Shinkoku explained just how to do this for the Noldor content pack.
It is also totally possible to use any of the 3 (Red/Bronze/Silver I think) other color options from the original mod as replacers. It would just require you to do the step by step guide with the different .nif files from the other color folders. (Ignore the textures post in the guide, you need to copy the original textures from the color you are trying to use!)
* Now this Elven Armor replacer mod does not in any way shape or form have any (so NO) REQUIREMENTS!
It uses the Gold textures from the original mod but they have been copied into this mod - and perhaps also good to know, rescaled/optimized (with CAO) back down to 1K resolution. So for all you screen-archers out there, delete/overwrite the textures included in this mod and use those from the original/fixed mod if you prefer higher resolution, from the looks of the file size they should be quite a bit higher then the 1K in this mod.
* This mod has NO ESP's, it only contains meshes & textures (1K optimized)!
* This mod does NOT include weapons (bow/swords) from the Noldor Content Pack if you want those, get the original (if you must, but you should probably go with the) fixed version. It does include the Shield tho!
- I personally was already using Elven Blades - Elven Sword and Greatsword Model Replacers so felt less needs for the swords, and so many fine bow mods around..
- Nice tip from the comments: NordWarUA's Race Armor Expansion for Thalmor-Soldiers (not casters) wich has a similair look to the Noldor Armors, but enough difference to seem like another variation (also includes stuff for the Orcs).
So far I've noticed a very small texture issue with (I'm guessing only) a pauldron added by The Amazing World of Bikini Armors (TAWOBA) or the REMASTERD version. But it will not break your game or so, also I wouldn't have a clue how to solve it. I still like having it and have even seen an open faceguard or the likes used in combination with NorWarUA's and this Noldor Armors (wich kinda made it look like a chin strap) and most likely some other little variations (such as a closed faceguard or so :P).
Now credits where credits are due ofc - it all came originally from the great Mod Noldor Content Pack made by maty743. Drop him an endorsement if you happen to like it etc.

- Firstly a huge thank you to [size=4pt]Arynn[/size] for allowing me to use his amazing chest/vest mesh as a base starting point for my armor. Without this asset it would have taken me a great amount of time to get the look I wanted and I may have even ditched the project all together.

- Lastly thank you to all those that have supported me, given me ideas and support etc.
Especially NWaldinger who has helped keep me on track and motivated. Thanks :)

Ow lastly, I'm guessing here - but since it just straight up replaces and retextures the Elven Armors, I think it will be fully Compatible for Skyrim VR as well. If its not let me know and I'll adjust that statement :D.
Also many kuddos to Sorestus for pointing out the obvious to me! xD
