<p>The EA app is new and may have some issues with Spore. We are still updating documentation to reflect this new app.</p>

<h3>Manual installation and .package mods</h3>
<p>In the past, Spore mods were installed by placing .package files in the game's data directory. While this method remains functional for mods that are distributed as .package files, this will not work for any mod with a .sporemod file extension. <strong>You must use the Spore ModAPI Launcher Kit to install these mods.</strong> The new format enables far more capabilities for modding, as well as making it easier to install, configure, and manage mods.</p>
<p>All mods (including .package mods) can be installed with the Spore ModAPI Launcher Kit, so you are encouraged to install all mods using it.</p>
