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.

Hi Guys,
I would love to visit the mansion, but don't know what seems to be the problem, I can't open it, it says, "make sure its an HD file",
it is, Obviously I tried HD version, and 3-4 times. Does anyone know what may be the problem?

Hi Pooja. Is your MM HD app in two parts, Episode 1 and 2? Mine is, and I've found that I have to open custom mansions in Episode 2, but any Saved files from those mansions have to be opened in Episode 1.

Hope that helps.

Hey,
thanks a ton for responding, I thought who might still be playing this wonderful game in 2020 Smiley

Anyway, so yes my app is in episode 1 & 2, I purchased both together, but it does not have 2 separate icons, just 1 icon, and 2 episodes, Episode 1 & 2,

And it seems like except certain 3-4 custom mansions, all are opening.

So I click on "open Mansion" button when we start the game, and just it takes me to the place where all custom mansions are saved,
how do we open any custom mansion in episode 1?

Yes, several times,
and seems like you were right about opening saved games of custom mansion.

it seems like I am unable to open any saved games at all of any custom mansion.
So how were you able to open them ?
Actually,custom mansions are saved in custom folder separately, and "saved games" are saved in "saved games" folder, (whether it is "included" mansions or custom mansions)

so when I load any custom mansion's saved game, it says, "we couldn't find any file named "". please ensure it is in the custom mansion folder

but saved games get saved by default in "saved" games folder.

sorry to bombard with questions, but this was not a problem in 2015 i remember when I used to play this game frequently

Sorry, Pooja, I don't know how to help. Maybe you should go to actionsoft.com and send an email to Vern under Contact Support at the bottom of the Support page. I don't know how long it will take for him to see it and answer. Good luck.

This happened to me on the PC as well. I renamed the mansion to match what it wanted to save to, in this case The Bat House became T, and the saves work now.
