Cheats

The list below consists of cheats for Spore and it’s expansions.  If you happen to know of a cheat that isn’t listed, I’d be glad to add it! Just head on over to the Contact Us page and fill out the form (I would need to know the name of the game and the description of the cheat).

During the game, hit Ctrl+Shift+C to bring up the Cheat Box. Type one of the following and hit Enter.

Creature Creator Tips:

  1. Use Hearbear ears for really expressive eyebrows!
  2. To create a realistic looking creature, look at a reference picture at the same time.
  3. Jellybutton makes a great flowerpot, shirtcuff, or if nested, robot style retractable arm.
  4. Narrow one or two vertices where you’re sticking the legs. This will help them integrate with the body better.
  5. Nest Overhear ear parts to create alien looking antennae.
  6. Attach an arm, remove the hands, then remove all segments but one (using the control key) to make nubby, cartoonlike arms or legs.

Spin the Galaxy (Easter Egg):

Want to see the face of the God of Spore? Then in the main menu (with the two buttons of Create-A-Creature and Load a Creature), take your mouse and click the center of the galaxy. Drag it real fast and if you are quick enough, you will see what I mean!

Thanks to Fenrir Kar for the tip!
