The Cell Creator, also known as Cell Editor, is a type of creator that allows to edit the cell.
Unlike the other creators, the Cell Creator doesn't have a button and is only accessed by editing own cell in Sporepedia or Cell Stage after mating.
Summary[]
The Cell Creator is set in a top-down view. Being more restrictive in adjusting the cell's body than the Creature Creator, the cell has an unstretchable body and is set with six vertebrae long. The vertebrae must also be in one line but otherwise can be shaped as desired; the cell can be fattened and thinned at each vertebra just like in the Creature Creator. The placement of parts on the cell is restricted to placing on the sides of the cell's body.
Color[]
Painting a cell.
There are 24 textures to paint the cell with and 735 colors. Textures change as the player progresses through the Cell Stage to form similar creature stage textures.

Unreleased editor[]
A cell made in the Hidden Cell Editor.
It is possible to access the expanded beta version of the Cell Creator in the full game by right-clicking on the Spore shortcut icon, going to "properties" and editing the target so the end reads -state:CellEditor rather than '-locale:en-us'. So it should look like this;"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\SPORE\Sporebin\SporeApp.exe" -state:CellEditor. This gives the access to the unreleased editor. Despite the player being able to save the cell in this unreleased editor, the cell can't be used or edited in the main game.
To gain access to the unreleased editor on the Steam platform, go into the games library and right-click on the desired version of Spore. Click Properties, then, if the tab is not on General, tab to General. Click "SET LAUNCH OPTIONS..." and enter the following string, without quotes: "-state:CellEditor" If this is done right, this will enter the expanded Cell Editor.
Trivia[]
- Some upgraded parts in the hidden editor are found on cells in the cell stage, but some of the larger ones are not seen. These were most likely upgrades for the original parts, where you had to find them, almost like in the creature stage. They were most likely cut due to the brevity of the Cell Stage.
- In Creature Stage, the eyes change color depending on the base color of your creature.
- In Spore Galactic Edition, the Beta Parts are featured in the 'Art Of Spore' which shows the Beta Elements/Concept Art of Spore.
- Most of these are "improved" variants of the basic parts that are seen in the artwork book that comes with the Galactic Edition. Creations can be saved, but not shared, and will not appear as NPCs in the Cell Stage. Also notable is one more eye design, called "Long Eye". Exiting the editor will launch Spore as normal.
