What does Synthesis do?

Synthesis allows modders to develop mods via code, rather than by hand. These are often referred to as "patchers".

As a user creating a modded load order, Synthesis lets you add as many of these patcher mods as you like, and bundle them together into one single mod file: Synthesis.esp. You should rerun the Synthesis pipeline any time you add/remove mods so the patchers can change and adapt to the new content.

For Users:

Easily add patchers and run patcher pipelines on your game.

Typical Usage

For Developers:

Utilize development tools provided by Synthesis to help you create Mutagen patchers from scratch

// Loop every NPC in the game
foreach (var npc in state.LoadOrder.PriorityOrder.Npc().WinningOverrides())
{
    // Add the record as an override to the new patch
    var overrideNpc = state.PatchMod.Npcs.GetOrAddAsOverride(npc);

    // Add 10% to their height
    overrideNpc.Height *= 1.1f;
}
