Help Deformed/withered part?

Post image

While I was remaking Toothless on my new copy of Spore (from EA) with mods, I stumbled across a strange issue. I used the Dark Injection Bat Boy ears as both the upper and lower tail fins. But when I put a pair near the end of his tail as tail fins, it appeared normal in the editor, but when he was viewed in the Sporepedia or played as, his left tail fin becomes deformed, while the right one appears normal but lost its animation.

I tried adjusting his tail, copying the upper tail fins and adjusting them to use as the lower tail fins, simply grabbing new ones from the selection, etc, but nothing worked.

And that's not the only issue. When he's viewed outside the editor, he looks simplified, kind of like a model in a game with low detail. He keeps all of his parts, but the colors are thrown off. For example, when I colored his left tail fin red and white to match his tail fin seen in the movies, the colors kind of blend together outside of the editor.

Also, when I made Toothless on my old computer, I never encountered this problem. It didn't happen with other creations either. Its probably because Spore was downloaded on Origin Games before it became EA, and I'm running my new game on EA.

How do I fix this?

Mods (run through ModAPI):

  • Dark Injection
  • Advanced Creature Editor
  • Advanced Creature Paint
  • Universal Property Enhancer
  • Infinite Part Scaling

All DLCs added in as well

Edit: It's not just the tail fin and color. I just found out the nubs on his heard are stretched out and look more like tube coral than the cute little tendrils they're meant to be

Edit 2: Fixed it. I just changed the glitched nubs and tail fins to the Core Spore variant and colored them so it kept its appearance without the warping.

Forgot to update the post but I fixed it. I just changed his nubs and the lower tail fin to the core Spore version and colored the "skin" part gray so it looked the same without the glitching
