I'd recommend using the Spore ModAPI Development Kit to make mods - as Cheat Engine can only modify the game's memory, not the actual game code.
(and Python cannot modify the game at all, either.)

Hi, I've been playing spore for a long time but I just discovered this site a few months ago. I don't know if this question might be a bit obvious, but every time I save one of my creations, when I reopen spore, it disappears, and I only find the creations I made without the mods, could you help me...

It does, yes.

Valla-Chan has made a newer mod that makes all parts, including modded parts, unlock:

You shouldn't install these mods at all. They're all incredibly old and are known to be broken.

Can you translate the error message given in the second screenshot?

SporebinEP1 is where Spore's own executable file is.
If you installed Spore from Steam or another digital launcher, you should revalidate the game files.
Otherwise, just uninstall all mods, backup %appdata%/Spore/ and then reinstall the game.

Are you able to access GA's content at all?

no 2005 spore animation way more logic, i think the tripod walking animation way more better than the new one, spore 2005 beta was better:). The issue is that the 2005 GDC Demo didn't have procedural animations at all. In fact, it didn't have gameplay - it was almost all scripted, and some Spore de...

Well, it'll take a long time, right now. v0.6 is adding a lot of stuff.

Heya! just got into the spore modding scene after playing this for 4,000 hours of my childhood, I love the more planets aspect of this mod but I feel it could need some toning down? maybe just make 9 the max and increase the minimum? It's already planned for the next version, don't worry - there's ...

It does not, no.

You need to fully uninstall all copies of Spore, and then to reinstall only one copy - I recommend Steam Spore, as EA Desktop is incompetent. You don't need a CD key if you have Spore on your EA account, because that's what the CD key is for. As for removing the Spore ModAPI Launcher Kit, just unins...

I was tinkering with some of the semi-recently added functionality in Sporemodder FX to modify cell-stage files; specifically, the .cell files. These files reveal that the AI of each cell is actually somewhat data-driven; and so, I decided it'd be interesting to see what happens if I changed each to...

None exists yet, but I have been working on one. It's just tedious to work on.

There is actually a cap of about 200 planets in vanilla, though it should be possible to remove in a mod since it's data-driven.
I'll try to whip one up quickly.

Question, if this allows it to use double the RAM, will it still lag my PC if I use shaders? Or is that just not it and it only just allows Spore to use 4GB of RAM and has nothing to do with lag or anything of the such, but stops the game from crashing? That lag will likely be as a result of your c...

You should use the Spore Mod Loader to mod the game when using Spore on Linux. It's a commandline tool, and uses a code injection method that's much more reliable under WINE than the Spore ModAPI Launcher Kit's.

Dark Injection and artguk's mod contain a forced save, do we still have to add ForceSave for these functions? For this mod, you shouldn't need Force Save at all, as the vanilla game has the parts labelled as valid. In fact, I don't use Force Save and it works fine for me. I'd recommend staying away...

The default program actually doesn't change how the package file behaves. It's just telling Windows that, when you try to open the file by double-clicking it, Windows should attempt to open it in that program. All of the data retained in the file is still identical, as the default program for a file...
