The most ridiculous mod-related request probably ever posted here

[-Penta-]

So, lately I've been trying to make the game more challenging and more like the original single-player version through the use of mods, going as far as subscribing to the Teleportato mod and Uncompromising Mode, just to name a few. I'm almost satisfied with the mods I got, but there's still some key features that I feel like I'm missing.

First things first, I chose to not run a server for the caves, because my ageing notebook is getting pretty tired from running two servers at once, which means I had to find mods that spawn cave creatures on the surface. Thing is, I can't seem to find any mods whatsoever that spawn some of the most important cave mobs in the surface. So far, I've only been able to get Light Bulbs and Glow Berries, as well as Rock Lobsters and Toadstool to spawn in the surface (courtesy of "Glow Berries and Light Flowers on the Surface", "Increase Animals" and "Uncompromising Mode", respectively), but mobs like Bunnymen, Splumonkeys and Slurpers, as well as the Ancient Guardian are completely out of my reach as of now.

Also, since Uncompromising Mode makes the Moose/Goose and the Dragonfly spawn as seasonal bosses, I've been turning off their overworld spawns in the world generation menu. What bothers me is that Dragonfly's desert still has her magma pools spawned, and the grasslands also have some Moose/Goose nests. So, this other thing I've been looking for are ways to make these set pieces not spawn at all, as well as a way of merging both the Dragonfly and the Oasis desert into one single biome.

Lastly, this one is rather absurd, but I'd like to know if there's a way to completely change the ocean back to how it was before the beta branch for The Return of Them started, as well as disabling the seafaring tab. I like the new changes and all, but I feel like the seafaring tab and all the new crafts that come with it get in the way of the kind of experience I want with the game right now.

I know this could all be boiled down to "then just play the single player version of RoG", but I want to be able to share the experience with some of my friends, because Don't Starve gets old pretty fast when you're playing alone. Plus, the raid bosses and skins are really cool.

So, to sum it up, I just want to know:
1) Are there any mods that naturally spawn all (or at least most) cave creatures on the surface (and that isn't the original Advanced World Generation)?
2) Are there any mods that merge the two deserts into one, and also completely erase Dragonfly's spawn?
3) Is there any way to disable everything added by The Return of Them completely?

That's about it though. If anyone can help me, I'd be really thankful.

Either of these mods would take longer to make than you would have to work to afford a laptop that can run Don't Starve Together

Now that you mention it, yeah, you're probably right.

I think so. You gotta pick your battles in all aspects of life. Sometimes a mod just isn't worth the time.

Oh, btw. My mod, Auto Stack and Pick Up, can lower the amount of simultaneous entities in the world by making them automatically stack with similar items next to them when they're spawned. The performance increase is most significant if you also enable the option to auto stack during world generation.
