Hi @Kaeethebaee

You can try the following things

  1. Open Finder, click on "Go" menu and select "Go to Folder.. ~/Library/Preferences/SPORE Preferences/
  2. Make a double click on the file named "config"
  3. Change now from "flobackbuffer" = "0" to "flobackbuffer" = "1"
  4. Close the file and restart your game, afterwards it should work now

Disable Origin in the game, 

Open Origin
Click on Origin ➡️  Origin In Game ➡️ Remove the tick and enable Origin in Game

@Freggi-Liz hello I think I replied but it didn't show up so I probably did something wrong. I had the same problem and when I put in ~/Library/Preferences/SPORE Preferences/ and there was no file named config, can you please help?
