World Gen Settings for Oceans and Continents? (1.22.2)

To preface; I'm using Terra Prety, RiverGen, and Algernon's Watersheds as generation Mods.

I've been messing around with creating worlds repeatedly to try and get continents and large deep oceans. However the most I seem to get are large lakes that are rarely ever very deep. I've tried a mix of most values at this point and am stumped. Is there a specific combination of Landcover Scale, Landcover, Upheval Rate, and Landform Scale guaranteed to give large oceans and continents? If that doesn't work then I feel like I may have to simply uninstall and reinstall the game.

Turning down both Landcover and Landcover Scale should produce a world with large oceans and large islands that are somewhat like a mini-continent, but I'm not sure that it's currently possible to get "real-life" style continents, if that's what you're after.

When it comes to using world gen mods though, your mileage will vary. I'd assume that turning down the above settings would still produce vast oceans and large islands/mini-continents.

Be careful. Terra prety and rivergen are both incompatible with a lot of other generation changing mods (i.e. better ruins)
also, if you want my opinion, there are better options out there

It might be better ruins which is causing the error then. What other options would you suggest over those?

I'm not after realistic continents. Moreso I want to return to what I was seeing in previous updates. Larger landmasses with vast oceans between or separating them. It's something I had prior to 1.22.2 but haven't been able to recreate under any circumstance.

I've set Landcover and Landcover Scale to their extremes with each variation and the most it seems to do is spit out wider but no less flat lakes. I'll be attempting to generate another one without mods but I feel like it may have messed up my files because even with them toggled off I still encounter the same problem. Even after varying values in both categories.
