Sprite Changing - Customization Character

Hello there! I'm new on Unity 2D, and i've already built the main menu of my game. But now i need to make a character customization. I have created more than one hundread sprites. And i've made buttons that its function is to change the character's characteristics. And is now that came my doubt: How can i change the Sprite by just One Object, using path location?

Here is what i've already made: A sprite object without sprite image; GUI buttons;

What i need: Sprite change command using path location.

What i tried: gameObject.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().sprite = Resources.Load("/Character/Type001", type of(Sprite)) as Sprite;
Thanks!

 

I found the error by searching the threads that have similar problem. Thanks to amjadyahya that have post on his thread a solution that fix the issue.

Code (CSharp):

1. public Sprite[] fruitSprites;
2. void Awake()
3.     {
4.         // load all frames in fruitsSprites array
5.         fruitSprites = Resources.LoadAll<Sprite>("fruits");
6.     }
7. void Start ()
8.     {
9.         // create the object
10.         GameObject fruit = new GameObject();
11.         // add a "SpriteRenderer" component to the newly created object
12.         fruit.AddComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
13.         // assign "fruit_9" sprite to it
14.         fruit.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().sprite = fruitSprites[9];
15.         // to assign the 5th frame
16.         fruit.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().sprite = fruitSprites[5];
17.     }

The problem is that i was trying to load a sprite sheet (multiple), instead of a simple sprite, and putting on a simples Sprite Variable. So i change it to an Array and replace Resources.Load by Resources.LoadAll, and storage the sprite frame in the Array.

That works perfectly.!! Thanks to amjadyahya.
