Downgrading your Project’s Unity Version

Exporting Your Project as a Package:


1. Unity allows you to export custom .unitypackage files, which can contain anything stored in
your Assets folder. In order to do this, find Assets -> Export Package. This will bring up a window
with a list of all the files in your inspector.

2. To export your entire project, find the button on the export window labeled All. Press this and it
will automatically select everything within your project hierarchy. To export the package, press
the Export button. This will prompt you name and save your unity package file. Be sure to give it
a descriptive name.

Opening a lower version of Unity


1. For our case we will be using Unity 2018.2, but this is applicable to any version of Unity. If you
have Unity 2018.2 installed on your computer, you should be able to find it on the computer’s
desktop shortcuts. If you have it installed on desktop you can skip to Importing to a New
Project.
2. If you do not have the lower version of Unity installed on your desktop, check to see if Unity
Hub is installed on your computer. If you do not have this either it can be downloaded here:
https://unity3d.com/get-unity/download by selecting the Download Unity Hub option. Once
you have downloaded the installer, open it and follow its instructions.

3. If you do have Unity Hub, you can check to see if you have the correct version installed by going
to the Installs tab at the top and selecting the On My Machine option from the menu on the
left. If it does not appear, choose the Official Releases option on the left, find the correct
version(2018.2.something), and select the Download button to the right of it.

4. Once it finishes downloading and installing, the version will now be located in the On My
Machine tab. Find the 3 Dots Icon to the right of the version you plan to use and select Set as
preferred.

Importing to a New Project


1. Open the version of Unity you want to use and in the Project tab select New. If you are using
Unity Hub, find the Unity Version dropdown and make sure that it is the correct version that
you want to use. Set the project Template so that it matches your old project (it should be
Lightweight VR in our case). Once all the settings are correct, hit Create Project.
2. When the project opens, find Assets -> Import Package -> Custom Package. This will prompt
you to find the .unitypackage file that you exported earlier. Find and import. A menu will pop up
with the hierarchy of assets in the package. This menu should look very similar to the export
menu. Make sure you select All and hit Import.

3. Now all your assets will be in the Project tab. Check your scenes to see if everything is still
intact. You may have to recreate certain parts, but otherwise it should build correctly.
