This is a pack of 684 Creatures made by me, inspired by the look of the default Maxis creatures; just a bunch of simple, recognizable and charming creatures to be discovered and appreciated as you progress through the game.

Includes;
  • 471 Animals ( 10 of them can be found as Rogue in Creature Stage )
  • 25 Tribes
  • 24 Nations
  • 164 Empires
Requires no DLC at all, even exoskeleton limbs isn't required!, this works even with the first ever version of the game. ( v1.0 )

All creations in this pack have the creator name of "Maxis Style Pack" for easy recognition in-game.


Download:
https://gamebanana.com/mods/543113


Installation for PNG version:
  • Extract the "Creatures" folder into "Documents/My Spore Creations".
  • After this, launching the game the for first time will only import 500 creations, for the pack to be fully imported, you need to restart again for the full 684 creations to be properly imported.
  • After restarting, type "Style Pack" in the search while in the Everything tab to see if all 684 creations were successfully imported.
  • The creations seem to also appear in the "My Creations" tab for some reason, not much can be done about it with PNG importing, only the next way of importing via the .package file fixes this.

Installation for Pollination.package version ( Full Reset ):
  • This is an alternative way to import these creations, but it requires a full reset of Spore, however if you do it this way it prevents the creations from appearing in the "My Creations" tab.
  • Delete the "My Spore Creations" folder in "Documents".
  • Type "%appdata%" into the file explorer path to go to the "AppData/Roaming" folder, delete everything inside the "Spore" folder there EXCEPT "Preferences". ( That folder is your game settings. )
  • Put "Pollination.package" into the Spore folder.
  • The game now will be fully reset and will also have the 684 creations from the pack imported on next launch.

"Kooper" is inspired by "Koopa" ? :D

Precisely, about this same type of creature, there is one which is similar that we see on the last blue thumbnail of sorting criterion of the Sporpedia, I expected to see it in the list, as d other creatures too, but no:

Her name is unfortunately not visible, But it looks like "Armadillo", I'm looking for her, she looks a lot like a Koopa :). Would you know her? Would you be able to find it or make it as identical as possible? I will be able to do it, but I prefer to have it identical and to have its real name (and if it exists in French, that would suit me).

We also see it in this image, it seems to be the same creature, although it looks quadruped to me on the blue thumbnail:

I'm French, sorry if there are sentences or words that may seem confusing once translated, or other errors... :?

I play the game disk version, on Windows 7.
I have all the game's expansions and it is up to date.

I have Spore Hero too.

I only made that one as a slight reference to that Koopa-like creature from those images, but it's not meant to be 100% the same.

For example there are also some creatures in this that are also similar to some of the 2006-2007 stuff; one is "Jolly Lumpo" which is like 2006 "Jolly Lumpus", "Greevil Weevil" is like 2006 "Greevil", "Orlod" is like 2006 "Orlop" + there are even some weird Willosaur looking ones in there too, they're all meant to be similar but not the same.

I think the only 100% same replica I made in this is some random 2006 creature called "Borkabor" lol, but I made it only available as a space stage empire.

No, I said it was similar, and if it was possible for you (or anyone else) to make it as identical as possible.

Yes, but these creatures are those from the SPORE universe, while Koopa is a completely aside from character from the Nintendo universe ;), that's what caught my eye directly.

I don't remember this creature anymore, :lol: . I'll go see her again in the Sporpedia.

Thank you! I was looking for creature packs that I could download that don't have dozens of mods-I-don't-have required for them.

Also, if you don't mind me asking: How do you make custom creator names? All of the creatures I've made have the creator name of Olivia2(the old internal username in my computer, NOT my actual name) and even changing that to a variation of 'Bingles Praise' in the computer itself didn't work.

I'm not sure, because I haven't changed computers for the game, but I think it's using your account name. But normally, it must take your name when you create your creature or modify a creature that is not yours.

:arrow: But I would rather say that it is the ''user'' name which is taken into account, on my Windows 7, I was able to write it myself, but on Windows 10, I believe that we can no longer write it/choose it! We'll say it takes the first letters of your email address! If I install Spore on Windows 10, maybe my creations will have this name, I don't hope because I don't like it! It's rubbish and ugly! :x

Right click the start menu button and open "Computer Management", then in there open "Local Users and Groups" then "Users", find your current name that appears as the offline creator there and then rename the "Name" section to what you want to appear as the offline creator, make sure it's the "Name" section that's being renamed, "Full Name" isn't used by Spore for the offline creator name.

Okay, I would like to change my name too, but I don't see "Local Users and Groups" displayed after opening "Computer Management", where is it ?

Note: Personally the best way to use this pack is by first completely wiping your pollination and save files to get rid of any "weird" creations like megabuilds or any stuff that doesn't look stylistically fitting in general ( if you have any ), gaprops etc. and then putting my pngs in your my spore creations folder, these combined with the Maxis creations will make for a more consistent experience as your play.
( Pollination and save files folder is "C:\Users\*USER NAME*\AppData\Roaming\SPORE", all files there can be deleted to fully wipe everything, though "Preferences" can stay as it holds your settings. )
how many new parts are in this mod?
