and by"one'''I mean a mod to fill in EA's cracks in spore,and by ''cracks''I mean things like fish stage...and mideval stage...

you can't make an entire stage in a game with a mod....thats far to complicated...

Mod- modifies existing game

Expansion pack- adds new stuff 9stages)

Spore was not made to be modded, unllike Oblivion. (which is an awesome game I might add)

if game wasnt made to be modded...why arre there mods,working mods fur spore?

Because selfish people can't be happy with what they are given.

Snap!
Mods are used to clear impossible goals (flying, killing, blowing stuff up, unlimted things come to mind), not redesign the game altogether.

Mods can't really do this... I don't think.

now heres the thing....you can make a mod for unlimited health, energy, all the weapons, etc......but there is too much programming that would need to be invovled in order to make an entire new stage to the game.

You could practically create an entire new game using the same engine with Oblivion and fallout 3 for PC. Sadly Spore isn't like that.

If you want such a 'mod' so badly (which is impossible by the way), why don't you try and mod the-game-that-wasn't-meant-to-be-modded yourself instead of whining at Sporumers to do it for you.

It's not that Spore isn't made for modding, (as a matter of fact I think the spore engine is extremely modable) but that we just lack the right tools to mod it.

Theoritically we could reverse-engineeer the engine and write tools for it so we can mod. However, that takes ridicilous amount of time.

True, but this goes for every game. The problem with Spore is that mods can be rendered useless rather quickly with Maxis's patches. Sure it is possible to make mods, but I know several are now incompatable with post-Patch 5 Spore and more will be incompatable with Patch 6 or 7 Spore (when they arrive).

You can mod nearly any game out there. Just because the devs don't want you to mod the game doesn't mean it's impossible to do so and there are no established communities for doing so. Really, I don't know why Spore is so hard on modding; maybe they figured with the whole custom content angle no-one would need them. Hubris in a way.

Well, I think this would be possible, but it would take time... i think, about half to 2 year(s)... Me and other modders could make you to have to go cell game through twice, first time in 2d as normal, second time in 3d... but we should too add limbs from creaturegame, and a few parts too. We should modify the stages "floor", and make it have trees that look like seaweed. (lol?) And take the controls from creaturegame, modify them like that you could go up and down... and what i just said sounds complicated, but I promise its about 300 times more complicated to do that. I think that would be so much work to do, that everyone would need to GET PAID before they even try to do that. But i think, its possible. I wont promise anything, but i see if can get any other modders to listen my idea. If you have some ideas to that "Aqua Stage", I would like to hear. Lets do that by ourselfs, i think that then EA would think that they should too do something to their games... to get money. But, i think then they really would to something to the GAME - not just new editors and features to them. And, Ga, wqas a good expansion. But, it was a new idea, and thats good, but Aquatic stage is... well, PROMISED PART OF THE GAME. Phew, long post, but now I will end it.

@ OP: I guess the main problem is that you can't mod in two new stages. It just doesn't work like that. Unless Spore has traces of "mideval" stage and aquatic stage, you can't mod it in. Just play another game. For example,your "mideval" stage would be a game of the Age of Empires series. Your "mideval" would be covered. Unless you don't mean medieval by mideval. Than I have nothing.
