importing a .unity into my game

so the file that i am trying to import into my game is a .unity, it is 161 KB, and it is marked as a unity scene file. so i assumed that since it was a scene file, i could import it as an asset or a scene, but i cannot do either, because when i try to import it as an asset, it does not show up in the finder, and when i try and import it as a scene, i click on it and nothing happens, except the finder window dissappearing, also all of the other forum questions similar to this have not worked, so i hope that it is not my computer (i have a kind of old thinkpad). I may just be being dense here, but could someone enlighten me on how to import a scene file to a blank project?

Just a scene file probably won’t help you much, unless 100% of its contents are built-in objects like cube, sphere, etc.

A scene file is just a document with links saying “I am made of these assets and components put together in this structure”

Steps to success:

  • go to the original project where this scene was made

  • select it and export that file

  • check all dependencies and it will export everything it needs

  • import that .unitypackage
