Reducing Lag

Hi, I'm fairly new to modded Terraria, and in the middle of my first 2 modded playthroughs (being Calamity and Stars Above, the latter of which doesn't lag that much in comparison). I do have other mods installed, but it's mainly QoL mods and a few furniture/pet/vanity mods.
I'm having a bit of a lag issue with Calamity, specifically whenever I enter the Sunken Sea the lag spike and my framerate slows down to a visible degree. Is there any setting I can turn off to help alleviate this? Or, are there any mods that can help reduce the lag?
I didn't install any fancy lighting modsand I generally keep most visual effets low, but I do use color lighting instead of retro.

( I do play on a laptop that isn't meant for gaming, perhaps that's the reason?)

[LotM General] Audrey art/Appreciation

just scrolled on the subreddit and saw quite a few posts/comments slandering her, so thought I'd share some cool art of her
Audrey is one of the best subjects for fanart imo, because of the stark contrast between her "figure" of a rich noble lady/spoiled girl with her symbolism and mythical creature form.
