Do I need to download all Spore + the expansions? Or just Galatic adventures?

It seems quite odd to me each download of spore + it's expansions have a similar download size. I'm just wondering if I'm just reinstalling the same things three times in a row, and if I just need to download one?

You need the base Spore game installed. If you bought the other stuff, install those too. They kinda overwrite each other but you can still choose to play either just Spore or GA. The Creepy/Cute stuff needs to be launched at least once, but can be accessed on the other two afterwards.

I recommend installing then launching in the following order:
1.Spore
2.Creepy and Cute
3. Galactic Adventure
If you don't have 2 or 3, you need not apply.

FEAR more or less does the same thing with the 2 expansions for the first one; Install SPORE first and the others will be a lot smaller of a download

So, what your saying is, if I launch spore before I download GA plus Creepy and Cute parts, they won't reinstall the whole game?

I tested here. Download Spore(3.5gb) first, after this download Creepy & Cute Creatures and he will download only the difference(~150mb). But if you download GA he will download everything (5gb).

So, GA have the base game AND Creepy and Cute OR just base game + GA expansion?? :/
