Maintain consistency with wording of "fauna" versus "wildlife"

OK, there are way more important things to fix than this, and it’s almost embarrassing to raise this as an issue. But I also know that this is a non-coding change that requires editing a .locPak file to make it right. And if you don’t say anything, there’s a chance that no one will ever notice. So here goes:

In the English version of the sim, the Marketplace calls it “wildlife”:

The General Options settings call it “fauna”:

General options

The World Map filters call it “fauna”:

The smart camera stat calls it “wildlife”:

It is easier for people to understand that things are related by using consistent terminology in multiple places. So I propose settling on one or the other. Currently, our tag in the forums is #fauna , but I’ll be happy to change it to #wildlife if the team standardizes on “wildlife”.

What a great idea!
…oh wait, this was my idea. :stuck_out_tongue:

Fair point. Help make things more professional

I would rather use FAUNA. Wildlife refers to wild animals while Fauna refers to wild + domesticated animals.
