Spore is creative, even the mods and hacks.

Yeah...um, that's because access is denied. Make sure you're logged on as an administrator, and that the text editor you're using has administrative privileges. If you don't own the computer in question, ask the owner about accessing files which you don't have privileges to overwrite.

Also, make a backup of the files before you edit them.

Well it isn't the command prompt you'd need to run as an admin...

...okay, just upload the files and provide links here. I'll add the tweak for you, and send them back, okay? :3

Thanks Davo. Worked like a charm in the GOG version, but with the GOG version I did the edits in the DataEP1\Config folder.
I didn't try it in the Data\Config folder since your instructions did mention EP1.
