Mator Smash
Overview
Characters, items, quests, music tracks, leveled lists, weathers, magical effects, etc. are all represented in plugin files as records. When multiple mods modify the same records, only the last loaded mod's changes get used by the game (with some exceptions). This is known as the rule of one. Many plugin patches combine the changes of multiple mods to resolve conflicts, but there is no way to create and distribute patches for every possible combination of conflicting mods. This is where tools like Mator Smash come in. Mator Smash allows for conflict resolution patches to be generated following rules. This allows users to quickly and efficiently combine the edits of multiple mods.
Smash is not capable of completely replacing handmade conflict resolution patches. Please verify your patch in xEdit after generating it and make changes as necessary where smash's conflict resolution was insufficient.
Installation
Mator Smash is a utility, which means it should not be installed through your mod manager or into the game's data folder. Instead, you should download and extract the archive into a folder manually. Install smash to its own folder in Program Files or wherever you store your modding tools.
Basic Usage
1. Start Mator Smash. If you're using Mod Organizer you should start smash through Mod Organizer.
2. Select the profile for the game you want to create a smashed patch for. If a profile is not automatically created for your game you can create it manually.
3. Check the plugins you want to load into Smash (do not load dynamic patches, e.g., DynDOLOD, zPatch).
4. Click the Quick Patch (green arrow) button.
5. Close the program.
6. Use xEdit to verify your patch and fix any issues by hand.
If you add or remove plugins from your load order you will need to repeat this process to update your smashed patch plugin file.
Additional Usage Notes
- Mator Smash is not intended to be used with any other conflict resolution patches.
- Run other patchers (DynDOLOD, SkyProc, UPF, etc) after generating your smashed patch. Do not load these patch files when generating your smashed patch.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 2,843 endorsements — this is a tool people rely on.
- Handles all record types, not just a subset, so it's more thorough than some alternatives.
- Updated by the author, so it's not abandoned like the original might be.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021 — might not support the latest game versions or DLCs.
- No detailed instructions or documentation provided in the description, so you'll need to figure out usage on your own.
- Requires some modding knowledge to use effectively; it's not a plug-and-play tool.
For modders who play Bethesda games (like Skyrim or Fallout) and want a more powerful alternative to Wrye Bash for conflict resolution. If you're comfortable with modding tools and need to merge complex mods, this is for you. Skip if you're a casual player who just wants to install mods without technical hassle.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to run Mator Smash after you've finalized your load order and built a Bashed Patch, if you use one.
- Use the 'Smash' option on your merged patch to let it handle conflicts automatically, but review the results in xEdit if you're unsure.
- Check the mod's forum or comments for user guides, since the description doesn't include detailed instructions.
