[Solved] Creature png files not being created

Unread post by AmonYnouss »

I'm using these mods:
Spoiler
Dark Injection
ByeByeSeaMonstie
DeltaPaints
Integrated Integuments
Interstellar Industries
MrsWhitesYourInvasion
Space Stage Harbours
Enchanced Color Picker
SporeStacker
B&VMod
Universal Property Enhancer
Infinite Scaling
Adventure Infinite Complexity
SnekyGraphics
Bigger Colonies H80
Parentelss Vehicle & Building Parts
Spine Connectors
Dar_CityWalls
I also modified Spore_Game.package and PatchData.package to disable pirate raids and ecodisasters.

My problem is that creatures I create do not seem to be saved anywhere as .pngs. They exist in Sporepedia ingame and can be used fine, but their pngs aren't in Documents/My Spore Creations. I searched the entire disc for a creature's png and it wasn't there. I unpacked the Pollination.package file from AppData and the png/crt files weren't there either.
However, when I install a new creature by dragging and dropping it's png into Spore, it appears in My Spore Creations and Pollination.package.
I bought Spore on GOG, I'm launching through the ModApi Launcher.

Any ideas how to fix this?

EDIT: Uninstalled and reinstalled all my mods, validated game files. The problem seems fixed for now. None of the listed mods were causing it, I don't know what was.

For future reference...repacking existing game packages is a very bad idea. I strongly recommend not doing so, as it is never necessary and almost always causes problems in some way, shape, or form.
