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.

I Cannot Load any saved file of any custom mansion (Read 5000 times)

I Cannot Load any saved file of any custom mansion

Hi all,

I have been playing some of the wonderful mansions you guys have created, and I am very thankful for that, these are absolutely thrilling, but I can't open any of the saved files of these mansions, they are saved in a folder named "A", which is saved in "Saved games" folder where all other included mansions' saved files are also there.
When i try to open any of the saved file, which is of a custom mansion, it says -
"The mansion file A could not be found, please make sure this mansion is in the Custom Mansions folder and try again"

I tried changing names of this folder A, and the saved file itself, but nothing works, I am not too much of a technology savvy, sorry if this question is some normal silly one, but can anyone look into this and help me?

Ps - I use Windows 10.

Well, I don't know how it is on the PC but on the Mac and I presume on the PC you start th game and then choose Load game. Now you can choose which saved game you want to play.

yeah, thats correct, and when we select load game, it directly opens the saved games folder nd asks us to select the file, now all of the files work, except those of the custom mansions

Weird. I don't have any problem with the custom mansions either. Are you sure that the mansion file is in the right folder? I mean the mansion file and not the saved file.

Yeah I think so, because, if at all the mansion file wasn't in the correct folder, why would it be even initially playable ?

all custom mansions are opening, but their saved files are not.

For some reason, the PC version wants to save with just the first letter of the mansion. I tried changing the folder name, and the save file name to match the mansion, but it still thinks it should just be the first letter.

I renamed the mansion to just the first letter (The Bat House Becomes "T"), and the save works fine.
