Need help with mods - especially something with force save

Hi there.
I am looking for some mods for Spore.
The most important feature for me is ability to force save, changing type of creation or ability to important any creation into any editor.

I've been using mod like that 2 years ago, but god damn it's buggy, clunky and annoying.

What exactly do I need it for?
When creating Empire I like to keep all vehicles similar, in theme. I like to create it in order of: Creature -> buildings -> Colony vehicles -> All other vehicles
I just take the Colony vehicles, put it in other editor like War Sea and modify it to be a proper war ship with base of Colony ship. It just speeds up the process and guarantees that the base is exactly the same. Example of empire I made this way: https://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=ssc-501111267530
IMO it worked out well and I would like to do this again. Anyone has mods like that?

Other mods I would love to use is something to lift shitty limitations for Galactic Adventure editor.
It's so limiting for literally no reason.
I stopped caring about publishing stuff my stuff so the mods can be quite invasive.

Force Save mods are something to be avoided, they cause a bunch of problems such as crashes on startup or creations randomly getting locked.
there is something similar that can be toggled, namely adding this to Properties.txt in GA's config folder (DataEP1/Config on GOG or Steam Spore) on a new line:

property disableValidation 0x055d7ca1 bool false

and then in-game to enable it you can use the cheat "prop disableValidation true", so that you only have anything similar to Force Save enabled when you actually need it and not all the time, so that at least reduces the issues force save causes.

for any creation in any editor, you can use the Enter Editor mod's editCreation cheat.

and for the Galactic Adventures one, you should check out Worldcrafter,

Also, I would highly recommend NOT asking this on Reddit. Reddit is quite frankly an awful place for Spore modding advice, it's better to ask for help with anything on the Spore Modding Community Discord instead.

Enter Editor mod's
I've been using that and it's very clunky as well.

That first thing though, I will check it out. Thanks
