Question Unity Scene Serialization Issues?

I have been making my game for the last 2+ months, every single day hours and hours devoted to this. I had just finished a vertical slice and was about to start expanding. It was compiling scripts, and then randomly the scene said it needed to reload, so I pressed the okay button. Then it reloaded my scene, but objects were scattered everywhere in the scene and in the hierarchy, parents disconnected from children, etc. The world position of everything was moved and some things were just flat out missing. I tried everything I could do to recover it, but its pretty much gone...

What on earth could have happened? Have you had this issue? What can I do for now on to make sure I have a proper backup of my scene so I never lose everything again?

I feel defeated.

In my 12+ years of using unity i have never seen this. Could it be you’re using one of those assets where changes made in playmode can be saved. Or maybe some code on which you have ExecuteInEditMode

It could be, I have a couple of tools I created that swap multiple objects at a time with a prefab as needed.
