It’s probably cause that would be patching in a feature that only people who buy the game would use

I think that it has more to do with the fact that putting a functional hamper on a lot sets laundry into action. If you don't, or at least that is how it worked in TS3 and they said it would be the same, then you don't have piles of clothes or the need to wash them. So if they updated the decorative hampers and someone has those on a lot but don't have the laundry pack, it will cause programming issues. Some people like the look of the hampers but don't want to do the laundry. I would love more functional hampers, but I get why the decorative ones won't work.

That makes sense because then people would have to take all the hampers out of the houses that they don't want laundry to be enabled in and that would be such a chore for the player.

You can place a fake laundry hamper anywhere for décor purposes. If you have a working one somewhere on your lot, all the dirty clothes will go into it.

unless they're slob/lazy

I think they confirmed somewhere (I think it was on Twitter) that they aren't updating the previous ones.

Or they could make those previous hampers actually functional if you bought Laundry Day, but you know, guess that might not be happening.

If they aren't upgraded they'll still see a lot more use from me as decorations.
I rarely use them right now.
