What does this setting do?
Off means no animals anywhere. That removes hunting, meat, hides, bones and feathers — and with them a large part of the food supply, especially for players without farming.
The switch is not a balance tool but an emergency brake: if you are fighting performance problems you can disable animal simulation entirely. For everything else, density and the number of simultaneous animals are the right levers.

What to watch out for
Removes the basis of cooking
Without animals there is no meat or fat. Recipes, the cooking skill and part of the trader stock lose their purpose.
