This happens every time I try to save the Prefab:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Even if I delete the Prefab file and try to make a new one, I get the same result. How the heck do I fix this?
Unity version 2017.3.0f3

Just a guess, but is there something that runs in the Editor in your prefab? That could be causing the issue.
