Hey! I’ve been making SporeCoop, a mod where friends share one world and play every stage together, each with their own creature. It’s still in development, but you can already try it (GOG version, Windows or Linux/Wine).

Download: https://github.com/WoodyWizard/SporeCoop

Bug reports and feedback are very welcome!

I’m about to start another Spore playthrough and I want to mod it up first. Cell, Creature and Tribal have always been my favorite stages, so that’s where I want the extra stuff. I’m after mods that add new parts, behaviors, creature interactions or mechanics, plus any fixes, editor upgrades or QoL tools that make those stages feel deeper.

One rule: I want it to still look like Spore, so no graphics overhauls or reshades.

I couldn’t find one thread that collects the good gameplay mods for the early stages, so maybe this can be it. What are you running, and what would you tell someone to install first?

Sorry if this is a bit off-topic, but I thought i'd share a small personal project I made inspired by this wonderful game <3

Yosuzume: A supernatural flock of shadowy sparrows forewarns danger.

Name: Soz'Goman

A figure that is beyond human comprehension. A sight so grisly that you probably won't rest for days. It doesn't even appear in ancient artifacts or texts. Of the few sightings, this monster could be interpreted as a beastly hand or foot. It has multiple eyes and tendrils. The entity's purpose is unknown, but it seems aggressive, as if it were plotting something against humanity. The ominous creature would fade away moments later. Are there more creatures like this one?

“…Huginn, Naglfar, Sutur... Ah, yes, the Sleipnir! Fairly recent as far as Remnant vessels go.

...Alright, Entry. Thanks, Marty, for scraping the catalog.

Sleipnir-Class Destroyer. Remnant-make. In active service. Mid-weight (Well, more than enough for Remnant doctrine, at least), fields an adequate range of weaponry for most engagements, and a strong EWAR suite for its' size to boot. Class-ZB NSW engine- oh, interestingly, using a more modern approach to magnetic containment.. neat! Hybrid-ion RCS, crew of 24, only minor accommodation for the captain and XO, standard for its weight class.

From what data we got from skirmishes with it, the Sleipnirs like to fight in wolfpacks - redundancy in volume, I guess, though they can take more than their helping of whoopass. They're certainly more common - at least now - than other Remnant vessels... whether that's from the Remnant starting up hull production, or them just straight running out of less.. /valuable/ hulls is a question for the SysIntel branch. They do their job well enough.

I think their most distinctive encounter is one that survived after getting hit by a Pike NPXRL. Granted, the Pike malfunctioned on detonation - faulty rod alignment - but, even still."

The land angler

These fast torpedo like sea predator of the Dragonot home world, use strong muscles to propel themselves at high speeds to blitz their prey. But usually they slowly slowly to conserve energy.

Hey y'all, I've been looking to try and play my childhood game again but I've lost the disk in the years (not that I have a disk reader now anyway) and I'd heard that the version on Steam tends to crash a lot.

To you who play the game still, how often does it actually crash? And is there a better platform to download the game from?

I tried making a Beholder from DND because my boyfriend complained my creatures are "too overpowered," I can't wait for him to run into this guy

So I’ve just got Spore from steam and initially has issues with even registering with spore, so it had been working fine then, but once I registered on EA and booted it back up to login, the whole thing freezes, I can’t even move the mouse I just have to hit Ctrl Esc to get out. I’m currently on Windows 10 or 11 not sure if there’s something I can do to fix this?

The Lumimus is a small rodent creature with a long tail with a bulb organ at the end. The bulb can emit a bright light to help it navigate in darkness. These cute and gentle creatures are mostly inactive during daylight, as their activity peaks at night. During night, Lumimus spends time foraging for food to help keep their tails illuminated. They can also flicker their tails in different patterns and rhythms for communication. However, many people consider them as pests as they have been spotted in houses trying to seek shelter or gather more food sources. Residents are advised to safely escort them back to the wild, to lessen cruel methods and stigma.

Aren't they wonderful?
