Take a look at: How do I programmatically assign a GameObject to a prefab?

There is some code provided there (in C#), so hopefully you can gain an understanding from it.

NOTE: THIS IS IN C#

You could always create one script called "SaveData" or something similar and have this in it

using UnityEngine; using System;

public class SaveData : MonoBehaviour {

 public void SaveCharacterData() {
     GameObject pc = GameObject.Find("pc");

     PlayerCharacter pcClass = pc.GetComponent&lt;PlayerCharacter&gt;();
     PlayerPrefs.SetString("Player Name", pcClass.Name);

     for(int cnt = 0; cnt &lt; Enum.GetValues(typeof(AttributeName)).Length; cnt++) {
         PlayerPrefs.SetInt(((AttributeName)cnt).ToString() + " - Base Value", pcClass.GetPrimaryAttribute(cnt).BaseValue);
         PlayerPrefs.SetInt(((AttributeName)cnt).ToString() + " - Exp To Level", pcClass.GetPrimaryAttribute(cnt).ExpToLevel);
     }

     for(int cnt = 0; cnt &lt; Enum.GetValues(typeof(VitalName)).Length; cnt++) {
         PlayerPrefs.SetInt(((VitalName)cnt).ToString() + " - Base Value", pcClass.GetVital(cnt).BaseValue);
         PlayerPrefs.SetInt(((VitalName)cnt).ToString() + " - Exp To Level", pcClass.GetVital(cnt).ExpToLevel);
         PlayerPrefs.SetInt(((VitalName)cnt).ToString() + " - Current Value", pcClass.GetVital(cnt).CurValue);

// PlayerPrefs.SetString(((VitalName)cnt).ToString() + " - Mods", pcClass.GetVital(cnt).GetModifyingAttrituesString());

     }

     for(int cnt = 0; cnt &lt; Enum.GetValues(typeof(SkillName)).Length; cnt++) {
         PlayerPrefs.SetInt(((SkillName)cnt).ToString() + " - Base Value", pcClass.GetSkill(cnt).BaseValue);
         PlayerPrefs.SetInt(((SkillName)cnt).ToString() + " - Exp To Level", pcClass.GetSkill(cnt).ExpToLevel);

// PlayerPrefs.SetString(((SkillName)cnt).ToString() + " - Mods", pcClass.GetSkill(cnt).GetModifyingAttrituesString());

     }
 }

 public void LoadCharacterData() {
     GameObject pc = GameObject.Find("pc");

     PlayerCharacter pcClass = pc.GetComponent&lt;PlayerCharacter&gt;();
     pcClass.Name = PlayerPrefs.GetString("Player Name", "Name Me");

     for(int cnt = 0; cnt &lt; Enum.GetValues(typeof(AttributeName)).Length; cnt++) {
         pcClass.GetPrimaryAttribute(cnt).BaseValue = PlayerPrefs.GetInt(((AttributeName)cnt).ToString() + " - Base Value", 0);
         pcClass.GetPrimaryAttribute(cnt).ExpToLevel = PlayerPrefs.GetInt(((AttributeName)cnt).ToString() + " - Exp to Level", 0);
     }

     for(int cnt = 0; cnt &lt; Enum.GetValues(typeof(VitalName)).Length; cnt++) {
         pcClass.GetVital(cnt).BaseValue = PlayerPrefs.GetInt(((VitalName)cnt).ToString() + " - Base Value", 0);
         pcClass.GetVital(cnt).ExpToLevel = PlayerPrefs.GetInt(((VitalName)cnt).ToString() + " - Exp to Level", 0);

     //make sure you call this so that the AdjustedBaseValue will be updated before you try to call to get the curValue
     pcClass.GetVital(cnt).Update();

     //get the started value for the curValue for each vital
     pcClass.GetVital(cnt).CurValue = PlayerPrefs.GetInt(((VitalName)cnt).ToString() + " - Cur Value", 1);
     }

     for(int cnt = 0; cnt &lt; Enum.GetValues(typeof(SkillName)).Length; cnt++) {
         pcClass.GetSkill(cnt).BaseValue = PlayerPrefs.GetInt(((SkillName)cnt).ToString() + " - Base Value", 0);
         pcClass.GetSkill(cnt).ExpToLevel = PlayerPrefs.GetInt(((SkillName)cnt).ToString() + " - Exp To Level", 0);      
     }

     //output the curValue for each of the vitals
     for(int cnt = 0; cnt &lt; Enum.GetValues(typeof(SkillName)).Length; cnt++) {
         Debug.Log(((SkillName)cnt).ToString() + ": " + pcClass.GetSkill(cnt).BaseValue + " - " + pcClass.GetSkill(cnt).ExpToLevel);
     }

} }

I apologize for all the stuff in there those are just what determines my skills/vitals... If you want to learn how to set up those check out the tutorial by BurgZergArcade on youtube...

Im not going to give you a link to his videos for two reasons...

It helps to start from the beginning of his tutorials to set this up...
You can just go to his channel which is BurgZergArcade.

I apologize if this doesn't help because of all you have to do to get it to work but i tried...

I don't know if you can do that....

You can create a "base" prefab and append on any extra components needed.

Unity is not good at doing things that it wasn't designed to do...

You absolutely can create prefabs and assign gameObjects to them via script.
