@holycrepe01 

The problem might be caused by incompatibility with newer operating systems like Windows 10.

The game must therefore run in compatibility mode. we already have some solutions to this

Unfortunately, I miss important data such as your Mac model and firmware, so I can only help to a limited extent.

Spore no longer runs on Catalina, this is an older 32bit app.
