Okay I may have put that a tiny bit more panicked then I intended, but I'm going insane. @ _ @
I have creatues 3 (from the disk version, creatures exodus) and I really REALLY want to put different coloured creatures in from the downloads.
Basically, I made this account to tell you I'm really lost. Windows 8 is stupid and broken and I don't know what to do. How do I even put them in??? How do I extract the files? Windows 8 made it so that you basically have to pay for some mediocre programme to open zip files with. I reaaaaaally need help. Where do I put the files once it's extracted if I even can?

if your looking for the folder to put the files in, it should be (i have GOG version of the game so the directory is different. But it's still the same idea) C Program Files (x86)\GOG.com\Creatures Exodus\Creatures 3\My Creatures
if not that, try this
C Users\whatever your user name is \Documents\Creatures\Creatures 3\My Creatures
winzip is a good program to try. When your trial runs out you can still use it, it will just bug you to buy the full version, but it wont stop you from using it.
7zip is also good. but IDK if it's free.
when you extract the files into the folders you want, just load up the game, load up whatever world you plan to use, and import them into the world. If you still get lost i'll still be able to help.

7Zip is free, and also can unzip RAR files.
You have to tell the computer to open .zip and .rar files with the 7Zip File Manager. |

There are some key shortcuts that you can use with Windows 8 to make things happen. If you don't want to use WinZip, you can install another program, like 7-Zip. 7-Zip handles RAR files as well, which is useful for some larger downloads in the CC. You can even make 7-Zip the default program used to unzip files (specific instructions for 7-Zip), which means you never have to open WinZip again.
For adopting creatures, you need to go to This PC > Documents > Creatures > Creatures 3 (or Docking Station) > My Creatures and put the .creature file in there.
The names of these files should look like "001_clay_czxlt_c2e4n_lkyvn_gkve5.ds.creature" (for an unnamed Docking Station creature) or "Acesco_001_rune_4z8z6_ywjlq_ptkyb_wgqut.ds.creature" (for a named Docking Station creature).

Thank you everyone for responding! ;w; I'll be sure to try all these out, thanks so much <3
Also is it true that only the gog.com download of creatures 2 works on windows 8? (Again, I have this like.. disk pack but only like three of the games out of five work XD)

it does run but you get this black square thing that blocks your view. There is a way to get rid of it but it never worked for me. You can still try it however.

Thanks again! Do you have a guide or anything I could use? I think I saw the guide on here but it said something like being a guide for the gog.com version only?

i know some good PDFs if that's what your looking for.
EDIT:
okay, so i found an unofficial creatures guide. It's for creatures 1 but most of the stuff applies to all games. there's also creatures wiki. The creatures wiki coveres everything about creatures and all creatures games. I feel this will help you more if your not playing creatures 1, but something different like creatures 2,3,DS,Adventures/Playground

When you visit the Creatures Wiki, please be sure to visit the current edition - https://creatures.wiki/, which is linked at the bottom of every Creatures Caves page. It's more up-to-date than the old mirror.

@Laura I forgot to check back here actually XD Yeah I did, it all worked out perfectly! I put in the three extra breeds that the creators of the game made (siamese, astro, zebra) and a few I found around and they all work ;w; Thank you everyone that helped <3
I might try to get docking station to work (since I did try to get c2 to work and.. yeah that didnt go well, but im gonna see if i can buy it from gog.com XD) and see how that goes soon ;w;
