We all know about the benefits of using Singletons in our games - you just call YourClass.Instance, and wala! A new GameObject gets created with the class attached immediately at run-time if its not already there. Magic! The common Singleton class for Unity3d can be found at the Unity3d wiki page.
While the Singleton design pattern for scripting has been a revelation, what about the same concept applied prefabs with exposed values or predefined configurations? They will be in the likes of Game Manager, Player Controller, SFX/BGM manager, Message Boxes, and many more.

For my own projects, I have implemented a modified version of the Singleton class from the Unity wiki page, and it's been super convenient for me since. So I'm gonna share the code with you and I hope it helps you too! Do leave some feedback if you found it helpful, or thought of a better implementation, or if you've faced other challenges using this method.
I'm pasting the code below and also uploaded it to Github, so feel free to check it out!
