Cannot save or load a creation

I cannot save all of my creations and it's been happening like this for 2 weeks already. All of my worlds are used already but they are all stuck in different stages and they cannot jump into the other stage. So why that's happening is that I cannot name them. Whenever I try to name and save them, I cannot enter the name because the field is kind of disabled. My screen resolution is at the correct size as my screen is (1366x768). I cannot even load both maxis and my creations. When I made a new world or choose a creation in civilization stage, I can choose one as long as it wasn't in editor mode. It was hard to play in cell and creature stage.

:::

So my clear problem is that I cannot save, because whenever I try to name it, the field isn't working, or load my creations in editor mode and I can load creations as long as it wasn't in editor mode.

Anyways please help me...

  • This solved it for me:
    "Never had this issue before. But what I do know is that when playing through the game, it is impossible to rename your species in tribal, civilization and space. It seems to be having this effect but corrupted over to editors.



    Right now, the only thing I can think of is to delete or move the Spore folder elsewhere located in C:\Users\<YOUR USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming, then trying to load the game again to see if the problem fixes itself.



    Note: The Appdata is hidden by default. Depending on your operating system, there are different ways on how to unhide the folder. Simply just do a google search on how to unhide the folder along with your operating system."

  • I´m having this issue as well. Very concerning that no one can come up with a solution. Are you playing through Steam?

    But will this give me another copy of the game or just the same through Origin? Because I don´t want to install a launcher to discover it won´t solve my issue.  I also got the "1 file failed to validate and will be reacquired" message whenever I verifiy the integrity of the game files. Does that  have any correlations? Thanks.
