Add-ons not working - SPORE

Hi, Ive bought SPORE and all DLCs on Steam first, but since it wass impossible to contact staff for registration (wanted to play online content) and also since Creepy & Cute DLC wasnt working for me i asked for refund and bought SPORE and DLCs through EA app so i could be done with it and finally play with it all together. 

 

BUT somehow when i downloaded SPORE and DLCs through EA app and wanted to play with the both add-ons  all i could was to play base game. no sign of CC or GA. doesnt matter which icon i used on desktop, or if i clicked play in-app. doesnt matter how many times i reinstalled it or restarted my PC. i only can play base game. It says tho that all my add-ons are installed. 

 

What should i do? for some reason i cant contact online support - im getting major error all the time

i just want to play already 

 

thanks in advance

    There is currently an oversight with how EA App loads the Galactic Adventures expansion. As Galactic Adventures is its own separate executable. You can find the .exe for Spore Galactic Adventures by default here:

    C:\Program Files\EA Games\Spore\SPORE Galactic Adventures\SporebinEP1

    All you have to do now is load up the 'SporeApp.exe'

    You know what i just somehow made Origin work without EA app update, and then proceeded to download the game from the origin. 

    GA is now working but CC is not. (Same problem as for steam). ALSO found out that i only can access CC-limbs in-game 😃 unbelievable 

     

     

    anyways since i wasnt granted refund on steam i kept looking for fixing the CC addon problem AND finally stumbled upon guide that helped me. 

     

    Sadly -this works only for Steam installed game since the Origin installed has different folder build.

    anyways, yeah i am now proud owner of the same game on Steam and on EA like a dumb f. 

     

    But hey atleast i created my SPORE  Account through EA copy and now since Steam copy is working properly can access online content using this Account.

    I mean, its a win situation. Sad one, but a win 🥳
