I hope everyone has the usual initial installation required before they attempt this.
Else we have a hundred "it doesn't work" replies...lol

i believe there is a way easier way...


also you are asking people to remove their save file which destroys every species you have, when reloading an old save, the planets still exist, but it forgets what creature was where. every time you start a stage, it loads a random creature or civiliation.

then you are asking people to remove the package that contains their saved creatures. i dont suggest anyone doing any of this because if you dont know what you are doing, you really will destroy everything you have worked on.

be careful... really.

This is the only way

About the save files , i know , it will destroy all the progress that the player have made , i already had this feeling , but people know that this will destroy their saves , and if they don't want this , i really recommend that they don't download this mod

Also , if you delete the Polination.package file , the creatures will still be in game , for get the creatures back , follow these steps :
1. Open Spore
2. Put in whatever creator and drag any creation PNG
3. Click on the Sporepedia menu and click in all creations (or something like that) you will see that some of the creations have back , to get they all , drag the PNG again , this worked it me

Still, you'll want to add a disclaimer to the OP so people cannot blame you for not knowing about that.
Spore is creative, even the mods and hacks.
Or, should I say, especially the mods and hacks?
