Spore PC Cheats and Hints

Spore was released by Sims creator, Will Wright. This newly termed “MSO” for Massively single player online game allows you to create a cell and follow it through the species evolution. It is very open ended in its gameplay and it has a few expansions much like all the “Sims” games. It came out for the PC and MAC in September 2008, with a Wii followup “sometime”.

For the PC, there are some of the cheat codes that will give you different items in the game. For these cheats, you will need to be playing the game and then press up CTRL+Shift+C which will bring up a window. These cheats can go directly into that window and then you just need to press ENTER to get the cheat to be added.

These are the very basic cheats that will be able to be done with the game.
