I downloaded it onto my computer but it came as a .sporemod file so when i put it in the data folder and launched the game nothing happened. Every other mod i downloaded allways came as .package or something and i have never had any issues with those. And yes i have tried spore api installer but they couldnt find the .spore file. Any advice?

Mods in spormod file only work with the ModAPI.
To install these mods, as well as Dark Injection, you must do it from the Easy Installer, after opening it, look for the location where the mods you downloaded are located, then once installed, start the game from the ModAPI, Dark Injection requires it.
There are also some package files that require the ModAPI.

For the modAPI to work, you need :patch1.5: and :ga: . Then not having two accounts, as I had seen.
On a pirated version, it may not work.
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.

The .sporemod files are typically used with Spore ModAPI, which is essential for installing and managing Spore mods.
Download the Spore ModAPI from the official Spore ModAPI website.
Extract the Spore ModAPI archive to a location on your computer.
Run the installer or executable to install Spore ModAPI. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Place the .sporemod file into the Mods folder created by the Spore ModAPI. This folder is usually located in the same directory as your Spore installation, or sometimes within the Spore ModAPI installation directory.
The path is typically something like C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Local\SporeModAPI\Mods\.
Launch Spore through the Spore ModAPI launcher rather than the standard game shortcut. This ensures that the modding tools are activated.
Check if the mod is active by starting a new game or loading an existing save. You should see the features or changes introduced by Dark Injection.
If the mod doesn’t appear, ensure that Spore ModAPI is correctly installed and updated.
Verify that the .sporemod file is not corrupted by re-downloading it from a reliable source.
Ensure there are no conflicts with other mods you may have installed. Sometimes, mods can interfere with each other.
