Spore
King Ladders Dec 17, 2024 @ 12:06am
Spore Dark Injection mod install not working, Error V:0000065432
To preface this; I'm sure the answer is "Its simply too old and unsupported now.", but I'm hoping to find a certain answer if there is one.

I had been trying to install the DI mod for spore, and constantly come across the error msg "Error V:0000065432", on top of the ModAPI being unable to recognize my steam install of GA no matter how many ways I tried. What research I have done has concluded its probably because the online service is no longer active and thusly cant register or something along those lines.
However, if anyone knows a work-around/or fix I'd greatly appreciate a pointer in the right direction.

Yup. EA released an "update" that broke the mods.

Is there any way to revert to a version prior to get it working again?

If there is, it will be in Steam under the Beta options for the Game in your Library.

These options are set by the developer though. EA may or may not allow it.

How do you get mods because even though you say they're broken I would still like a little muck around with them and see if I can get around it because I've been looking for this since I started spore last weekend ( if it was a workshop they shut down or something forget it but still plse notify me. :)

DavoOnline(com) and nexus mods, although their vortex launcher doesn't auto install mods so you'll have to user the spore ModAPI to install them mostly. needs GA to work, but its on sale for $1.99 right now

Weird. I've seen several...

Of course, when I point them out, I'm always told, "That's not like Spore!"

So people can just keep on playing Spore I guess.

Idk man I cant say I've seen any creature building game like spore that wasn't a trash mobile game. Maybe I ain't looked hard enough, but I'm open to suggestions if you say you know of similar games

SIPHO, Niche, and CHKN are the first three "creature builders" that come to mind. CHKN is even free on Steam.

Universim probably qualifies as a post-creature Spore-like too.

Checking my Followed games, I found these either in Early Access or still in development:

Adapt
Ecosystem
Species: Artificial Life
The Monster Breeder

(Sorry, Ecosystem was released in November.)

Others might suggest Thrive, which isn't on Steam. But it's been in development hell since 2010 and the developers were up to some shady open-source antics for a while.

After lookin em up I cant say I've ever seen these games but honestly a few look promising and will be checking out after the holidays. Ecosystem especially seems enjoyable

There was another (I don't think it was on Spore) that someone was recommending a while back, but I can't seem to find that post...

I'll keep an eye out though.

But yeah, there are "creature evolution" games out there. They just don't get a lot of promotion or marketing seems like.
