Layne Hartman

* Ghost
* Alive

**Layne Hartman** was a randomly generated Sim that moved into one of the vacant homes in Oasis Springs, the Hartman Household.

One day, his house was hijacked by CBT Wizard Johnson and Nemesis T-Type who respectively CBT'd and devoured him, which turned him into a playable ghost.

Layne would go on to stay in the house with the CBT Wizard (Nemesis moved out later on) as a CBT slave forced to receive painful kicks in the croutch every day.

He was kidnapped during CBT Wizard's Cookout in Part 14, his whereabouts are unknown as he has been missing from the household ever since.

## History

### Part 6

Layne made his debut as one of Albert Wesker's targets for assassination, the assassination being requested by Heriberto Devries. Luckily for Hartman, Wesker was beginning to feel fed up with so many assassination tasks and ignored Heriberto's request, and Layne then went back home without ever knowing he was a target. It's unknown why Heriberto wanted him dead in the first place.

### Part 7

Hartman appears again, attempting to visit the Bogan Household. He was unlucky to have come to greet his neighbours on a bad day though, as Bulk Bogan was having an episode and shot Layne in the head, killing him. Garfield then Did the Mario on his corpse.

Hartman's death was later undone by the Activation of Bites the Dust.

His luck having now completely run out, he met his second end at the hands of CBT Wizard Johnson and Nemesis T-Type, who invaded his home. CBT Wizard performed a quick session of Cock and Ball Torture on Hartman and then had Nemesis devour his body in order to take over his house.

Since then Hartman was stuck as a playable ghost and was forced to live with the two invaders until Nemesis moved into the Squarepants Household following his marriage to Jill Valentine.

### Part 14

While attending the cookout organised by his roommate, Layne got kidnapped by random Sims despite being a ghost. This shocked everyone at the event.

Layne was not been seen for the rest of Season 2, and was no longer present in the Hartman Household seen on the world map.

### Part 23 (2020 Christmas Special)

During Santa Bogan's Gift Giving Adventure, Layne was surprisingly seen safe and sound (and shirtless for some reason) back at his house, although the map still does not show his presence. He was with the CBT Wizard when Bulk Bogan came to deliver the Wizard's present, which was a kick to his enormous croutch. Layne didn't receive a present however.

It is unknown how, when or by who Layne was rescued from his kidnapping. The CBT Wizard seems to be the likely responsible.

## Trivia

* Layne's entire existence is linked to the concept of Death. He was one of the many Sims randomly generated by the game to populate the world after the dozens of deaths caused by Joel during the course of the streams. His first appearance is as a target for assassination, though he avoids dying in Part 6, only to then die twice in Part 7 and become the first playable ghost of the streams.
* Due to the Cannibalism Mod changing the Sim's state directly to ghost instead of killing the Sim (in order to not leave an urn and skip the death scene while effectively accomplishing the same task) Layne remained playable even after death. This also applies to Varg Fren and Big Smoke.
