Can I do something about the hounds?
Is there some easy way, cheating or otherwise, to stop the hounds from attacking so often/strong? I am on day 150, and every 5 days or so they break all my armour and nearly kill me. And don't get me started on winter or night attacks...

There are a lot of different strategies you can use, but here's a relatively easy one: Tame some Treeguards.
Set up a fire pit away from your main base where you can go to deal with hound attacks. (You don't want to use your main base because fire hounds might burn it down.)
Chop trees somewhere nearby until you awake a Treeguard. Lead it to the fire pit, and then plant trees near it until you pacify it. Repeat as often as you like until you have a Treeguard army you're comfortable with. This can also help with boss monsters such as the Deerclops; two Treeguards are more than a match for a Deerclops even if he frequently freezes them.
