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.

Problem with opening saved mansion
01.11.2011 at 06:20:07
 
Not sure if this is a mansion-specific issue or perhaps something more general.

However, after making it to the first save and quitting the game, i tried to open the save i got a message saying: 
"The mansion file 'Three Way Mansion.zip' could not be found.  Please make sure that this mansion is inside the custom mansion folder, etc."
The same thing happens if the game is suspended and i try to resume from where i left off.

The mansion .zip file is in the custom mansions folder (i even re-downloaded it) and can be opened and played from the beginning.

Check to see if you're getting to the bottom level folder. There may be a mansion file folder within a top level folder, because that happened to me, too. In other words, there might be a folder inside custom mansions folder with the name of the mansion (folder 1), then another folder inside that one with the same name (folder 2, which contains all the mansion files).

If that's the case, move folder 2 directly to Custom Mansions folder, and get rid of the now empty folder 1. Hope that makes sense.

TWM was uploaded as a zipfile with a readme file and the zipped TWM within.  This means that after you download the file you should have a folder containing the readme and the TWM.zip.  Just drag the TWM.zip to the "Midnight Mansion HD Custom Mansions" folder if you want to play it as a zip file.  If you want to unzip it then drag the unzipped TWM folder to the "Midnight Mansion HD Custom Mansions" folder.

If you system does not automatically unzip downloaded zipped files you must do it yourself by double-clicking it.

So the hierarchy is:

The uploaded zipfile unzips to a folder containing a readme file and a zipped TWM file.

The zipped TWM file can be played "as is" or can be unzipped first to a TWM folder.
