I have all of the interior files, and all of the map files, but when I load a custom level in MBP, it has no interiors. May somebody please help me?

What level are you trying to load, where did you get the level, and where did you put the interiors?
Some levels (esp. older ones) use CLA interiors for its interiors. But because you have the map files, the level must not be from level packs/CLA. Make sure to put the interiors in the interiors folder (the maps aren't needed), as well as putting interiors in folders inside the corresponding folders in the interiors folder.
As opposed to missing interiors, the reference to the interior may be incorrect. If you can, open up the .mis file for the level in a text editor, and for each of the places it says /interiors, make sure that the path is not misspelled, and that the interior is in the right place. Sometimes, the interior may not be in the interiors folder, but instead, may be in a folder called interiors_mbp, or similarly named, and so the level may not work. When the interiors are located and in the right place, reopen the game, and hopefully it will work.

I have every interior I have ever downloaded for both Marble Blast Gold and Platinum in that Folder. In the template mission, I am able to add these interiors without any problem. However, if I try to open any custom level that I downloaded myself, everything but the interiors are there. It is very bizarre.

I suspect it may be compatibility problems with the mis file. First, open one of the affected levels. Then, press tilde ~ and while scrolling up, note exactly what is said in the red text. Chances are, the level cannot find the interior where it wants it.

I have the same problem. I have MBP 1.14 for Windows 7. I downloaded levels I had before, and they work, but everything is white. The interiors worked before, and now they don't.
For example: I downloaded Tubular Twist. It worked before. Now everything is white.

Instead of hijacking a topic, it would be advised to make your own support topic. That aside...
If interiors are white, it means that the game can't find the image files in the interiors folder. This will not throw an error in the console if the textures are missing, but instead substitute it for a null white texture.
When you download a level, make sure to copy all the images and DIF's that are present, excluding the level picture, into the interiors folder. Make sure that any folders that aren't shapes, music, or skies are copied into the interiors folder as well.
If you had these levels on another computer or in another directory before, make sure you copy the interior folders from that location to your MBP's interior folders, merging but not overwriting the contents.
Then relaunch the game to see if it works.
