Barren universe glitch

Unread post by ThatDaisy »

I have a glitch in spore ga where whenever I play civilization stage it crashes and there is no flora at all on any planet making it seem very barren and makes herbivore playthroughs impossible.

Found a fix a while ago forgot to post it for people with the same problem. Uninstall everything spore related and reinstall it in this order:
1.) Install Spore
2.) Install Spore GA
3.) Run Spore GA and then close it
4.) Install Creepy and cute
5.) Install Patch 1.5.1
6.)Run Spore GA and then close it
7.)Install patch 1.6
8.)Run Spore GA and then close it
9.)When installing larger or older mods run Spore GA before installing more mods.
Works for me hope this helped! :)

Don't tell people to reinstall in the wrong order. Installing Patch 1.6 AFTER Spore GA will break the game, as far as I know.

Here is what you really should do:

1. Install Spore
2. Run Spore once
3. Install Creepy and Cute
4. Install Spore GA
5. Install patch 5.1
6. Run Spore GA once
7. Install Bot Parts
8. Run Spore GA once to see if it works.
9. Profit?
Just another fellow user.

It's possible to improve Spore's graphics using Reshade. I'm planning a V0.2 public release soon

a) Installing 1.6 after GA works, installing 1.6 before GA does not
b) Why did you say installing 1.6 after GA breaks stuff, then immediately instruct them to install 1.6 after GA?
c) Never install 1.6

...tbh I'm about ready to ask you to stop providing incorrect advice, as I just logged on to see what I'd missed today, and first you're telling people mods work fine on Steam and Origin, which they don't, and now this?? What?

What I really meant, is that neither Spore nor Origin work better with mods since patch 1.7, also, the whole patch 1.6 thing was just a typo on my part.

My apologies.
