Hey all, ****I know this issue is similar to many others, but I seem to be struggling to follow the instructions on how to fix the issue because most of the replies link to old threads and the lin...

Hi again @Freggi-Liz ,
Thanks again for your willingness to help thus far.
Sorry for not replying sooner, my friends took a while to follow the instructions you gave. However, even with all 3 of us following the directions you gave, they are still unable to view my creatures.
However, we have discovered something strange with my spore game that may be the cause of the problem. In my spore game, my creatures are automatically shared as soon as I save them. On the other hand, my buildings and vehicles are not automatically shared. When I share my buildings and vehicles, my friends are able to see them in their game, as normal. But my creatures are still unable to be shared properly.
I believe the issue may have something to do with my creatures being automatically shared, as it does not share properly when it does this. But, I don't know how to get my creatures to stop being shared automatically upon save. I was unable to find any options or settings to change this. Is there a way to get my creatures to stop sharing themselves upon saving them?
Thanks again for your help and patience.

@McPainty Hi,
A pure settings in these things does not exist. The only trick that could work would be, that you do not go online immediately. When you're create a creation, save your creations ingame. Afterwards log in, share it from your ingame Sporepedia.
@Freggi-Liz
So does this mean that the game randomly decides to share some creations but not others when I'm online? That is very unusual. There usually is a reason behind it when games share items like this. I remember very vaguely long ago setting my game up to share creatures automatically so my friends could see them. I suppose I could be misremembering though. Are you sure that there are no functions set in place that allow the game to share creations for you when you're online? Because this continuous sharing does not happen with my friends' creations at all, and I do somewhat remember setting something up in this way.
I don't mean to contradict you, I am merely attempting to trace my steps and perhaps undo this auto-sharing that I have done in my game somehow. Thanks again for your help so far.You can use this setting to control whether your creatures are shared immediately or manually by Enabling/Disabling Automatic Login through Spore
Take a look at my screen
If you have saved your creations ingame Sporepedia, you can also shared them directly from there
I see what you mean, I have followed your instructions and have started to play offline. However, I created a few new creatures while offline to test things out, and my sporepedia still says that they are shared (aka they have the globe with a green checkmark icon).
