In response to post #36309660. #36321640, #36327340, #36327690, #36329130, #36330820, #36336850 are all replies on the same post. The current workaround for enabling mods in the beta uses the HLP command to hotload plugins, except the problem is that it's an experimental command that's been broken ever since it appeared in Skyrim. It causes the scrapping bug even if you only load a blank .esp, and it causes the scrapping bug if you attempt to use the command in 1.4 too instead of loading mods the normal way. My advice, if you literally cannot play without mods, is to stick with 1.4 until the 1.5 patch leaves beta. Or beta test Survival Mode in a vanilla game and offer feedback and bug reports on the official forums. :P
