Run the Spore Creature Creator in Mac OS X v10.4.11

For those of you who want Spore, but are still running Tiger, we’ve got the fix for you. With some simple .plist editing, you can be on your way to making strange looking aliens in no time!

First, obtain the Creature Creator. Then, locate the download in the Finder. Once you have it, right-click on it and open “Show Package Contents.” When you have that open, open “Contents.” In this folder, locate Info.plist, and open it with any text editor.

Once you have it open, find the following:

<key>MinimumSystemVersion</key>
<string>10.5.3</string>

And change that to:

<key>MinimumSystemVersion</key>
<string>10.4.11</string>

This should fix things, but keep in mind that Minimum System Versions are usually put in there for a reason. Doing this change may make you lose certain functionalities in the game.

Now, if only there was something like this that would let me run Spore with half the VRAM needed. Damn MacBooks with their integrated graphics cards…
