Bug Catch Text Override

This is a simple file to alter the text displayed in the Text Notification System (TNS) to make it less jarring to read when catching insects.
Info
When a Sim is successful in catching an insect, a notification displays to the player what was caught and how many. The text will always refer to the catch in the singular term though. So if you find 3 of something, "it" can be found in the inventory. This really irritated me so I looked at a way to "fix" it.
As there is no separate text for singular and plural catch notifications I altered the wording so that the singular "thing" is "the catch". It's not perfect but it reads much better than the original.
Notes
The file overrides the English String Table 220557DA-80000000-001A896677760B17
Any other mods that also alter this file will conflict.
To remove it from your game simply delete the file from your Mods folder.
