Are you using Windows 8 or later? If so, I think I know exactly the problem...

[Kajtas]

No, i'm using Windows 7.

No, i'm using Windows 7.

Okay, that's only a bit extremely weird...

...hmm, I'd say my idea is probably still worth a shot.
Here it is:
1) Copy all your creations (C:/Users/YOURUSERNAME/My Spore Creations), save files (%appdata%/SPORE), and installed mods to a backup folder.
2) Uninstall the entire game set.
3) Reinstall Core Spore ONLY. DO NOT INSTALL ANY PATCHES OR DLCS.
4) Restore the backups of your creations and save data to their original locations. Also, you may want to add those creatures from the pack here.
5) Reinstall all of your mods to your CORE SPORE data folder.
6) Launch Core Spore. Let it update its content database if necessary, then close it once it finishes. DO NOT attempt to do anything in the game.
7) Install other stuff in this order: C&C>GA>Patch 5.1 (DO NOT INSTALL BOT PARTS/PATCH 6. EVER.).
8) Move your mods back to their intended locations.
9) Enjoy! C:

k then, I have no idea what to say, other than "ditch the creatures" :Y

It seems that whenever I try to drag a creature in it says "This creature cannot be loaded." I don't know if it's because my C&C isn't working, or is just an issue with the game or maybe I modded wrong. I am dragging them into the editor, and have tried the sporepedia.
Running Win10.
I also noticed that one specific creature likes to freeze my game and still not load. Or crash it.

I'm right clicking these and hitting "save as...", and it gives me a "File" and not .png.
So, I change them to .png and it still fails to work.

[Snaid1]

I had that problem too. It's ok to save them as an "unknown file", as long as you have DI installed it should still recognize them. for some reason renaming the file invalidates it and SPORE won't recognize it anymore.

I can't help with the creature that crashes your game, you may want to avoid that one.

Wait....why it is bad to have the bot parts..?

[rob55rod]

Wait....why it is bad to have the bot parts..?

1. Random crashes in creature stage
2. Extremely rare bug which prevents you from reinstalling the game if you uninstall it

Was the Dark injections sporepedia wiped before this was compiled? I remember having uploaded a small handful of creations myself, but this was back when you could click a link under a username from any forum topic and view their uploaded creations, which isint a thing anymore it seems.

Or where some uploads simply removed? Wouldint know why mine would be removed if that where the case...

Not immediately after, but it was wiped at some point, as an (unintended?) side effect of a board software upgrade from back in 2015.

Oh, well IIRC there's an adventure floating around on spore.com which has most, if not all of them.

There may have been some, but I don't know of any.

You wouldint be able to remember the adventure, or the person who made it, or know someone with it's resources, would you? After reading that, and immediately setting out to find it, I have discovered my google-fu is not strong enough...

Something I've been trying to figure out is how I get dark-spore creatures into normal game-play. Whenever I design a creature that uses parts from dark-spore it saves normally, but it doesn't appear when I'm actually playing the creature stage ever and even when I make the theme "my creations" it doesn't let me select any of the darkspore creatures. I've seen videos with creatures like Blitz (from darkspore) on the creature stage, how did they do it?

Did you name the creature? Because I used to forget that, and my creatures wouldn't save. But yeah, see if naming it works.
