Last night, I resumed to my creature in spore.  I got pretty far, almost reaching the tribal stage, so I saved the game there and exited because I had to get rest for tomorrow.  Today, I came back to...

    Hi @CandyCornCC 

    Make sure you are using the right path Spore folder Spore" located in:

    ...\AppData\Roaming\SPORE

    The most important data is in the main folder "Games"

    There are two "saves" Game0 and Game0.old folders (they are your home planet)

    Keep an eye to " Pollination.package ", because there all your (downloaded) creations and Sporepedia are located.

    Backup the entire Spore folder and drag it to the desktop Launch the game again.

    The main folder should recreate again.

    Move each individual file from the Spore desktop folder to the new Spore folder in AppData path.

    Please do not take (copy) the entire folder and replace it.

    Hope you understand what i mean?

Hello, I am having the same problem that the person you were helping has, however i found the worlds in the folders, but do not appear on the spore game, so my question is how do I launch the world since it wont show up in Spore.

    @Freggi-Liz Hi! I only have Game0.old. In my spore loading up, it shows all creatures and creations on the sporepedia but sadly no world.. How can I get this back? Is it even possible?

      Yeahh.. this is way too complicated of a process just to be able to play SPORE. How are little kids supposed to figure this out ? Hopefully there is a better alternative or possibly the people in charge of the game can simply fix the process so data doesn't just auto delete itself. I understand SPORE is old. But that doesn't mean they can't fix these issues or offer simple alternatives. All these wacky steps for a purchased game .

    Hiya, I've done all these steps but I still can't see my planets show up. Is there a way to sort it or not?
