    @nopieeee unfortunately the new ea app doesn't integrate older games, like spore. what it does now is it kinda frankensteins spore base game with spore galactic adventures- it doesn't treat GA as an expansion pack and just puts the two game codes together. terrible, yes.

    I know this thread is old, but you are correct. There is a relatively simple solution however.

    The default directory for Galactic Adventures is as followed: C:\Program Files\EA Games\Spore\SPORE Galactic Adventures\SporebinEP1

    (Likewise if you saved it on a different hard-drive, change the first letter to the one you saved it on)

    From there on, you want to click 'SporeApp'. This will load Galactic Adventures.

    EA should get this patched up as soon as possible; It is a major oversight in their application.

    This does not work for me. Also the 60 FPS mod does not work.

    it just gives me an error saying EA needs to update because it tries to run it through EA

    Unfortunately this is a separate issue that everyone on the EA App is experiencing. There is no official workaround. However, you can find third party solutions such as the EA App to Origin conversion, or the Spore ModAPI.
