Hello! I have had this issue for as long as I can remember really but for some reason, a majority of my creations are fake-shared, where they appear as shared in-game and can not be shared, but do not appear on spore.com. This includes mostly creatures that I did not make in any campaign or with any mods, which from what ive heard is usually why some creatures encounter the fake sharing glitch. Ive been going through and making copies of and uploading every creation I can, but it’s really annoying and really confusing and frankly I just dont want to have a copy of nearly everything ive ever created. Is there a better way to go about fixing this, or am I just stuck having to make copies of everything?

If you have any creations that you are sure were not made in a campaign game or with mods, send the PNG for them here

How would I grab their pngs? Most of my creation pngs are missing as a result of switching computers over 14 years
Is there another way to grab them from the sporepedia?
Managed to find one of them that is in my creations folder and was made outside a campaign that is fake uploaded
oh wow hold on theres actually a fair bit of guys in here

Did you only recently get Creepy & Cute added to your account?
You're also missing Galactic Adventures from your account and are unable to share captains or adventures

oh damn that might be the issue
I didnt get it added recently but I think all these creatures were made before I got it properly added to my account
Which was probably around 2020

Advux uses captain parts
Royal Grungan is a campaign creation that will need to be manually reshared
The rest are all visible on the site now

It's kinda quirky, it refreshed them after I pulled up their data

Is there a mod to mass-extract creation pngs from my creations (since I'm missing a huge amount of them) and then can I just. Send them?
Also is there a way to disable the auto sharing or no
tawny moss
Auto-sharing cannot be disabled no
You can use a modding tool called sporemodderfx to extract the PNGs from the database, but for this purpose, the easier method is a mod I made

Coolcool
So if I just extracted all my guys and sent you my My Spore Creations folder you'd be able to properly add everything that isn't a campaign creature/captain?
Also, im pretty sure it won't but just to be absolutely certain, deleting everything from My Spore Creations and replacing it with the newly extracted pngs won't erase all the creatures from my game since they're stored elsewhere, right?
I specifically want to do this just so my My Spore Creations folder is one to one with my actual database and doesnt have any dupes, unless the mod already handles that
tawny moss
Removing creations from the My Spore Creations folder won't affect anything in the game at all
In terms of importing creations to the game, they will only be imported if they aren't already in the database, it checks to ensure duplicates aren't added
