Spore PC Cheats and Hints

Spore was released by The Sims creator Will Wright in September 2008. This newly termed “MSO” -- "massively single-player online game" -- allows you to create a cell and follow it through the species evolution. It has very open-ended gameplay and a few expansions, much like The Sims and its sequels.

There are some cheat codes for the PC version of Spore that will give you different items in the game. Spore is a very customizable game, and using these cheat codes will help you discover new things and make the game all you want it to be.

To open the cheat window, start playing the game, then press up CTRL+Shift+C. Type the cheat code into the window and press ENTER to activate the cheat.

These are the most basic cheats in the game.
