Now you may have multiple Spore Folders, you want the folder that just says SPORE. NOT SPORE TM.
3. Add the following as string value if they are not there
AppDir = SPORE
DataDir = C:Program Files (x86)Electronic ArtsSPOREData
InstallLoc = C:Program Files (x86)Electronic ArtsSPORE
PlayerDir = My Spore Creations
It is important to make sure and add these strings in the order that they are given. The most important thing though is to direct the folders to the right place; I am specifiacally talking about the DataDir and InstallLoc folders. The string should direct to wherever you installed your game, so the initial part can vary you just need to find what yours is, buyt the last part sill stay the same SPORE/Data/ and Spore for the other one. Mine was in C:/games/Steamapps/Common/SPORE/Data/ and the same without the data for the next one. Don't include the = sign in the data!!!!
4. Add the following as 32bit DWORD value
ReIndexYesOrNo = 0
InstallCompleted = 1
5. Open Spore and have fun
