Dark Spot at Bottom of Tomatoes

Greetings From Sunset Zone 23 in Swinging So. Cal!

This is my second year of growing tomatoes. I had pretty good success last
year, but now all my tomatoes are developing large dark spots on the bottom
as they approach full size. What is up with that? Anything I can do—beside
cut the bottoms off all my tomaters before I eat 'em?

Also, my ripening tomatoes are cracking, which I understand is from
overwatering. Several of my plants always seem to have wilting leaves, so
I've assumed they need more water. Could something else be the cause of the
wilted appearance?
