The bashed patch is a file created by Wrye Bash that helps to make all of your mods work together.
For example, say you have to mods that add new items to chests at random (on levelled lists). Normally, one mod would 'come out on top', and only its new item would appear. One function of the Bashed Patch is that it can merge these two mods' functions together, so that you could now find, say, both of the new items as opposed to only one of them.
the Bashed Patch will perform this function for other things, such as eye and hair mods. It can also tweak global settings and help you to load specific mods before others by imporitng them into the patch.
Does that help clarify things?
