Critters won't spawn near town

[Doctursea]

I have a pretty heavily modded playthrough I'm running right now, and I'm having the problem with no critters naturally spawning near my town. Does anyone know why this might be? I can tell the critters do spawn in the world, but only far outside the range of NPC housing where there isn't really a chance for it always being a critter. Perhaps I'm understanding a change a mod has made. Mod list here.

The Calamity Mod has a setting within the Config file that disables spawns, including critters, near houses if the world is in Expert mode. You can turn it off by opening the file and changing the 'true' to 'false'. Turning it off should cause critters to spawn again.

Thank you very much, that's exactly what I'm looking for.
