Interactive Loading Screens

So...
I was waiting for my game to load, and I began to wonder if there was anywhere where I can just look through all the interactive loading screen images, like a gallery? Perhaps in the game files?
It’s an odd question I know, and I doubt anybody knows the answer, so I’ll just try to collect them on my own. If someone does know, though, let me know! :)
  • A while back, I stumbled upon a discussion about a mod that lets you choose which pack's loading screen you want to use. I've never used it, and I don't even know if it's still available, but here's the thread:

  • Not sure, but I think what the OP is referring to as "interactive" are the screens that house the hidden objects game that plays during loadup for those who leave that option on, not the startup screens. And I'm not sure those exist exactly as screens, but possibly more as smaller screen elements that are randomly pushed together to maximize the number of possible object combinations presented.

    Many of us keep this option off because it causes the game to start out a session using considerably more RAM than without it, and we have enough to do trying to control our RAM usage in many of our worlds as it is.

    I believe these are what she's looking for:

    About midway down the page, there are thumbnails of the "interactive loading screens" that come with the base game and EPs
