I also have this glitch, but I just deleted the localthumbnailcache file. I will see if it helps, as it resolved this issue before the latest patch for me, and after the patch they started to do it again.

This happens quite often. I noticed this months after the laundry pack. It then went away, maybe after a patch. Then return and went away again. I noticed it again right before Eco Lifestyle launched.

yeah, still happening.

It looks like a never ending bug. I have it too ever since the pack came out. I‘ve also noticed that it matters of what kind of hamper is used and if your Sim is left or right hand. Since the latest patch my expensive hamper is not working at all. Meaning no clothing inside when a Sim change outfits. Replacing it with a cheaper version works.

It doesn't really seem to have to do with left- or right-handedness. (I'm using a bug testing family so can't add mods to reveal hidden traits) It seems totally random: sometimes they pick the laundry with their right, sometimes with their left hand. Also because it is somehow totally random, it didn't matter which laundry basket I was using. I tried this with a test sim household and it would occur often but not every single time and I tried changing the basket for the cheapest one but it _still_ occurred. Also for me too not every single time laundry was added to a basket when someone changed clothes but I've been thinking that it might be a feature, not sure though.
Additional information to the bug reports: it looks like the laundry bag object is just attached to the opposite hand in the glitched animation. The bag moves along with the hand that is not carrying the bag so it's moving in and out of the sim while the hand swings during walking animation. I guess the putting laundry into washer animation is always the same(??) since I think that one is always fine and if the carrying animation was glitched, the bag glitches from the wrong hand to the one putting laundry inside.
Another small thing but probably not worth giving it a bug report: if you start washing laundry but immediately cancel the interaction and then take the still dirty and dry laundry out (I did this when testing the laundry carrying glitch) the sim might get that "Warm laundry" playful moodlet. But this is such a fringe case that I'm willing to overlook that and kindly ask devs to fix some more important bugs. :D I hope all agree :---D
