A brief history of the game
At first there was Midnight Mansion, now often called MM1. This game package was for Mac only and contained 8 mansions, each on easy, normal and hard level. Above that there was a builder included, so that customers could design mansions themselves.
Then there was Midnight Mansion HD, now abbreviated as MM1 HD for both Mac and Windows. It contained the 3x8 mansions from MM1 plus 3x a bonus mansion: Tomb of Princes. All in high definition!
Actionsoft's latest game, Midnight Mansion 2: The Haunted Hills, includes 28 mansions with a lot of new features. The 8 built-in mansions have 3 difficulties along with 4 extra custom mansions. Yes indeed, the MM2 package also has an included builder to create mansions!

Custom mansions

In the past decades several customers started experimenting with the builders. Creating rooms. Talking about it on the Midnight Mansion Forums. Sending their own designed mansions to other board members to test them. And finally sending them to the administrators of MMF.
Result? Nearly 200 extra mansions are downloadable from these boards and some of them have over 100 rooms.
If you like to download custom mansions, go to the General Custom Mansions Area (Mac and Windows) where you find the lists with all the download spots.

First step: Drag your mansion into ResEdit
Second Step: Press Command + K and type in TEXT (all caps) and press enter.
Third step: Type your message. Memorize the I.D. # and when you click your sign with pink mouse, type the # in.
Fourth Step: To make more messagest, press Command + K inside the TEXT category. To change IDs, press command + I when selecting the message and replace the ID # with a new ID #.  Smiley

Just Google for it  Smiley

Alternative resource editors are Rezilla and Resourcerer.

I'm able to change the signs with the original editor, but how do you change them in the Expansion Pack ?

If I type in the text I want,  then /every/ sign (of the same size) in the mansion says the same thing.  Am I completely missing something ?     I'm using Rezilla for editing and Photoshop for PICTs .

thanks

You don't need to use an resource editor anymore!  In the Mansion builder click the red arrow (for editing) and then click on the sign.  You'll get a dialog where you can write your message.  Just be sure to delete everything inside that dialog before deleting a sign.
