More Awesome Than You!

Hello. I am in need of assistance concerning Spore and avoiding SecuROM and any other malicious things that come with it.

I own a legit version of the game, though I know I need a no-CD crack in order to keep Securom from destroying my computer. However, since the game came out, there have been three patches (the third one I know cannot be used before getting Creepy and Cute) and an EP for Spore, and I unfortunately have no knowledge of what to download, or what else I would need if I downloaded one thing. It's unclear to me whether the later no-CD cracks have previous patches included, and I have yet to find a no-CD crack for the Creepy and Cute EP, which means that if I act like a moron and accidentally download something that has patch 3 without first having the EP, I am screwed. Considering that my intelligence of hacks, cracks, and arring in general is... almost nonexistant, this event is very likely.

Please help a layman play a game they foolishly spent over 50 bucks on.

I regret and apologize for possibly sounding uninformed here, but I do not know what a "Trainer" is, along with the "+ #" preceding the word Trainer. Is a Trainer similar to a NoCD/NoDVD? And should I be concerned about the Add Number before it?

I admit I have checked out gamecopyworld before, but these severely unknown terms confused me. So I decided to err on the side of caution, lest I completely screw over my computer.

IM not sure you want the trainers. There should be copies without them available.

A "Trainer" is an external program used for cheating in games. They are differentiated from "[Save] Editors" in that they directly edit the game's memory while the game is running, rather than by modifying files on disk. The +X indicates how many features the program has. They are not really related to No-CD/No-DVD cracks other than that similar skillsets are required to produce them, which is why they are found in the same place. You probably don't want one of those.

I saw only Spore trainers at gamecopyworld -- which is unusual, considering they're the go-to for fixed exes. Generally.

Since I am lazy and this is Not My Problem, all I could find was this: http://undebug.org/games/spore-spore-creature-creator-no-cd-no-dvd-fixed-exe-fixed-image-patch-10-101

However, from nothing but a vague and cursory look at things, you probably want vr 1.03. I would suggest going to ye bay, finding a recent torrent with a recent exe or the exe itself, and, well, doing that thang.

I see. After going to the Bay, and an hour or so of searching for uncontaminated torrents, I did manage to find no CD cracks free of trojans. The game works flawlessly. Thank you for the help, I really appreciate it.

The GameCopyWorld page for it says that the game doesn't require the DVD to run once it's activated, hence the lack of no-CD cracks. That may be why you can't find any... I'll see if that's true.
