Alright, I've posted this in various areas already to no avail. I thought this might be a possible best and final place. :(
There's nothing I can type here that I already haven't.
Everything I've created with some sort of mod has become locked, even though I have every mod I used to make them reinstalled recently, or rather, a month or two ago. I have 700+ creations and a few of them are currently being used on planets in my campaigns, so going through everything manually and "unlocking" them is out of the question for me. Suggest anything pl0x, I'll do anything to get my everythings unlocked and usable again...
Is there anything out there that could help my dilemma? Fix it, even?

Something like that happened to me too, it seems to me it was with Dark Injection and even after reinstalling it, and Drone_parts after reinstalling the first version when I deleted the new one. I also didn't want to redo all my creations where the padlock had remained :x, for my part, I didn't have many, because I was starting out in mods, and after that I spent more time there on it to test them.
:arrow: I wrote this on another topic, where also, someone had the same kind of problem:
I have already had cases like this when doing this also to test mods that are not compatible with each other, even after having reinstalled them, there was always a small padlock on the thumbnail, but after restarting the game or rather the computer, the little padlock disappeared by itself. Even with the padlock, you could still open your creation (provided you have put back the mods it has), but by double-clicking on the thumbnail when you are in the editor.
How many days has it been like this? I don't know about me, maybe when I turned my computer back on the next day or another, the padlock ended up disappearing on its own afterwards. I didn't need to redo my locked creatures.

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.

Surely it is also because they contain these creations.

:arrow: I forgot to cite another solution:
- Save copies of your creations to another location on your PC.
- Remove them from your game.
- Close the game, and add your copies to the location where you save your creatures so you don't have to import them one by one, when the game is open. The padlock will have disappeared! ;)

If you want to try this solution, I advise you to do a test by creating a duplicate of one of your creatures, in case its thumbnail does not appear in the Sporpedia after importing it, but it should not do so. It can happen to me with other people's creations, although I had put the mods that were used, perhaps some were forgotten or misquoted, which means that their creations do not appear in the game.

It's been roughly two months I think...

I'd like to try this, but I'm worried about my save-planets. Will they be alright? Should I export them too? How will I copy and export my creations? :?

For know, the padlocks are still displayed even after restarting your PC the next day?

It shouldn't do anything to your save games, it's the creations that count, afterward I don't know if you're talking about your Adventures.
If you start a game with a locked creature even with the reinstalled mods it uses, nothing will happen, I tried when this happened to me to see if it didn't cause a problem.

Where your creations are saved, in ''Documents/ My creations/ Creatures'', go to your ''Creatures'' folder, copy the ones that have a padlock and paste them to another location on your PC, because if you delete a creature in your game, its thumbnail will be automatically deleted from its “Creatures” folder and can no longer be recovered if you do not make a copy of it. Afterwards, you can put your copies back in the ''Creatures'' folder (closed game, so as not to get bored doing them one by one, as I mentioned).

If for Adventures, do the same by going on the same path by going to the ''Adventures'' folder, but if you took screenshots in your Adventures, they will be deleted :cry:! That's the problem (but not on your PC)! I asked if someone could make a mod to be able to recover these images, I hope someone will do it one day.

One problem, I have creations from a long time ago, so long ago that my folders don't even have them anymore. I don't know why but my folders are mostly blank, probably from storage reasons because of the game. They're all only accessible from the game, unfortunately. :(

I too wish for a mod to unlock creatures. Would save me and possibly many others lots of trouble...

What, how is this possible? It's weird, when you save a creature (or any creation), normally a message tells you: ''Find (name of your creation) in My documents/My creations/(creation type folder). '' once it has been saved, you don't get this message? I've also been playing the game for a long time and I don't have any problems, maybe it happened to me once with a building, when I saved it, it wasn't there in its folder, I had to save it several times or as a new creation to make it appear! And it was good afterwards. I don't know why it did that.
I don't think it's related to the game's storage, I'm in the 1100 creations, or maybe you didn't choose the default location for the creations when you installed the game, if that's the case, they are somewhere on your PC, try typing the name of one of your creations in the search box on the PC, if it is there, you will be able to find where they are saved.
Maybe someone with computer skills can resolve this issue.

For the problem of the padlock, when I went to bed, one thing came back to me, I think that rather than the padlock disappeared when I deleted several mods at once, and then when I started the game, I saw that my creations had disappeared! I was afraid! But actually, NO! They were loading, you had to open and close the Sporpedia for them to load until they were all there (even some Maxis creations probably included in Galactic Adventures)! I don't know why it does this :? . And I think it's the fact of loading, that's what removed the padlock. Also, the same thing happened when I started the game without the ModApi after doing it previously.

I do get those messages. I found an old, backup folder I made at some point, but it's from 2018-2019. I can't find any of my more recent creations otherwise, even though I kept everything mostly on the default settings. All my oldest screenshots and other creations only go back to November of last year for some reason, everything from before then is seemingly wiped.

It's really strange, afterward when there are rather annoying problems with the game, we are often told to uninstall it and reinstall it.
It's up to you... if you're not afraid that your creatures that you play in your games won't be replaced by those of Maxis, if they're Captains, it's no problem, a mod that allows you to change Captain, exists.
This has already happened to me! I don't know if it's because I didn't follow the exact order to reinstall everything, especially in terms of my saves and my creatures that I play in them.

I don't know if you're talking about these saves, otherwise those of the game are in a folder called ''AppData'', it's a hidden folder by default! To see these folders, you have to go to the control panel/ File explorer option/ View, and click in the small circle ''Show hidden files, folders and drives'', if this is not done .
The ''AppData'' folder will appear transparently in the folders of ''your PC / Users / Your name / AppData'', and for game saves go to ''Roaming / SPORE''.

Try taking screenshots of its contents to show if there are any files missing, if I can't help you as I don't know anything about files, maybe someone someone else might help you.

Man, reinstalls? Gosh. Luckily I already backed up my folder before. But how am I supposed to reinstall? The EA app breaks Spore, and I'm still running it through Origin.

Yes, this is the first important thing to do when you want to uninstall, it is better to make copies of all SPORE folders if you don't want to lose anything, especially your creations.
But how am I supposed to reinstall? The EA app breaks Spore, and I'm still running it through Origin.
Normally from the path where the installation of the game to be carried out is installed after the purchase (Programs (x86)), then the name of the folder is different depending on where you purchased the game, ''Electronic Arts, Origin, Steam , other(s) ?? ''
it should have ''application'' written to the right of the ''SporeApp'' file with the game logo on its left in the SPORE/Sporebin folder.

Otherwise, there are explanations on the Internet that I don't know which ones to show. I don't really know how to proceed exactly :?, sometimes it says that you have to delete files to reset the correct reinstallation of the game, and others that you should definitely not do.
I also had small problems with the EA/Orign application when I reinstalled the game, but one or more files that were in the ''Preferences'' folder that I had copied, and put back in the '' new ''Preferences, have solved that!
But since I have the game on disc, I don't know if it's the same without.

Alright, after a bunch of hoops after I had gotten the EA app and decided to go back to the Origin app. Then I reinstalled the games. Everything's still locked. Now what?

Normally put your copies of your saves and your creations back in the original locations (mentioned previously) of the game, and your mods.
Also try to re-download the mods that include custom creature parts that you used on your creatures, it may be that when they have been updated, their old version could malfunction or no longer work.

Otherwise, indicate the mods you used for your creatures that are locked, it might help to see things more clearly.

I've since redownloaded all of them. Tried to drag something in, only for my game to freeze and it to not work. Maybe I'll stick to just copy and pasting from the folders for now.

Code: Select all

<mod name="UPEv1.1.3" unique="upe" displayName="Universal Property Enhancer">
Ah..., you are not using the latest version of UPE, maybe that is what can cause some crashes and instability. The latest version is v1.2.0. And normally, there is no need to use the ''VerifyUPE'' cheat code to see if it works, but still usable, and it works, the UPE should appear as soon as you open the cheat window.

Three link possibilities for downloading.

Did you use parts from earlier versions?

Code: Select all

[quote]StrangeAndBeautiful[4-11-2018][/quote]
Same remark as the previous mod. Because when I downloaded it, I had the impression that parts had been deleted on the latest version, when I saw it on the original subject, and cited in the comments.

Code: Select all

psi_littleboxofhorrors_BETA2
According to some comments, it says that this mod is broken (or partly). It's a BETA mod. Your creatures having these rooms, are they locked?

Code: Select all

"Delta_Paints"
On this mod, I saw that the last painting in ''details'' no longer worked, but I don't think it will lock a creature painted with this pattern, it will probably have a broken texture.

Code: Select all

<mod name="CRGRockGroundColors" unique="allisonRockGroundColors" displayName="Planetary Rocks use Ground Colors">
Huh... I don't know if this mod is still functional, because I haven't found any results.

Code: Select all

<mod name="2019_DI_9_r_Beta2-3-2_Psi_Camera_Mod" unique="DI_FlexCam_Mod_AddSteps" displayName="Dark Injection Flexible Editor Camera Mod">
This option seems unstable to me, saying that the camera can be moved vertically, it doesn't work! And crashes the game when you restart a game in the Civilization Phase! If you experience crashes, this could be the cause. I also think it may cause a conflict with the ''CSA_Tweaks'' mod, which includes a camera function. I removed this option, and replaced it with a similar mod.

Code: Select all

"VallaDelimbiter"
Using UPE, just in case, I don't know if it can lock a creature if it's not up to date. But since there are no custom parts, it shouldn't.

Afterwards, if you still have this problem, I don't know if your creations which date back, used mods which are broken today, or have changed names. Otherwise, send some of your locked ancient creatures, indicating on each one the mods they use so that I can see them appear in my Spropedia and see if on my side, they are locked and take a look at the mods used on them
- Send me at least one creature using the parts of ''PandorasToolbox_v2-1-6'' , if you used an earlier version.
- A creature with parts ''StrangeAndBeautiful''.
- A creature with parts ''littleboxofhorrors'' and ''VallaDelimbiter'', if locked.

If you prefer to keep your creations, private, and don't want to share them, I understand. I also have creations that are private to me. :)
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 actually had to reinstall UPE, couldn't find it in my backup mod folder anyways. The rock one does not effect creatures, BTW. I don't think I ever used the PSI beta stuff, downloaded it just forgot about it probably. Didn't know what about the CSA_Tweaks and DI camera incompatibility... Never used the Box of Horrors one on anything either.

Alright, bugged Spore beasties coming right up. (Most of them are newer, since I don't have access to ones much older.)

It also no longer appears in my mods list too.

I'm not sure, but sometimes some mods that have similarities can conflict.

Okay. I will look at your creatures. ;)


EDIT: Well, I looked at your creatures, but rather just one (Bumblelee). I couldn't see your other two creatures because they didn't appear in my Sporpedia. What mods did you use on your other two creatures? If you don't know anymore, show me some photos, both in the editor and the trial mode.

:arrow: Your creature Bumblelee (his painting took me almost a minute to load :lol: )!
I saw that she used two mods that you must have forgotten, and that I didn't see mentioned in your list:
Mod CamBen Color Pack v3.1

Mod Project: Replicant (I saw that there was not the price displayed on the nose)

I don't think I noticed anything else, if you put these two mods back in, it should be good.

Pretty surreal seeing one of my creatures on someone else's computer... :shock:

The Dino-bird uses Strange and Beautiful, and I think possibly infinite scale for the tail-feathers.
Primera uses Unshackled and Snakey Leg Day/VallaDelimbiter. Maybe there's infinite scale somewhere on it?

Hold on, now my game's not able to open at all anymore. I thought I had bot parts in the past and tried to reinstall it (like a mod.) I deleted all of the files relating to it but that fixed nothing because my game is still crashing. Urgh, might need to reinstall again...
