I recently downloaded Disfan1's Tables & Blinds set, they are listed in path extras, and when I go to open that menu, the game freezes, and a error message pops up reading: "no :siv or :sid". And it always happens if I have the "Island" icon checked....

What should I do? Reinstall? Get antoher set?

i do believe the answer is gonna be look in the custom scenery set folder and look for the 2 ovl files, this set most likely has an extra folder in it

Disfan's set was among the early releases of RCT3 custom scenery, and it's one that has an unusual quirk. Most scenery sets have a folder that holds the two needed OVL files (style.common and style.unique) along with a folder that holds the actual scenery files.

This set is set up different. Each one of the tables is actually a separate CS file. It has it's own folder, and it's own two OVL files plus the actual scenery file in another folder. This causes a lot of problems for people who aren't aware of it's unique setup.

Easiest way to fix this is to go into Style\Themed, and drag Disfan's set to your desktop. If I remember correctly when you open the folder, inside you will see a number of individual folders - one for each table style. Click and open one of those to test. Inside you should see the typical set up for CS...the two OVL files (Style.unique and style.common) along with a folder that contains the unique and common versions of that individual table's files.

Now, close that individual folder.

You can now drag each of the individual folders out of Disfan's main folder back into Style\Themed. When you finish doing that Disfan's main folder should be empty (or it might only have a style.unique and a style.common files, but no actual scenery files should be left). You can now delete that main folder and restart the game. The tables should then work.
