Start with the docs on Resources.Load()

It has very specific steps and requirement and I will not be retyping them for you here.

Alternately look into Addressables, but those are VERY complicated.

I’m not sure about anyone else, but that’s exactly what I do. I setup a class to house all my prefabs, and then when needing them through code, I just simply reference that class and the particular prefab. Which can also be done in another prefab, mind you…

But if you’re bent on using a resources folder, then read this post:
