Soooo I'm going to cave and buy Vampires pack mainly because I want a new world and items. But I have an important question.
I've been reading about how Vampires barge into your Sims homes all hours of the day/night to feed off them etc and I want to prevent that. I have no interest in playing with or being bothered by Vampires (at the moment).
What do I have to do to keep them away?

You can also cheat the vampire lore skill to 5, I think it is, grow or harvest some garlic and make wreaths or braids to hang up around your house. Note: this only works on vamps that don't have the garlic immunity power.
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
But then you could always just have one of your sims stay up overnight (very easy to do with playable vampires of your own but you don't have to have those)
However, I was surprised that game-generated vampires visit during the night time too. So deleting the premades made no difference.
Seems to work so far.

You can unlock bedroom doors with the welcome trait, and most vampires have a teleport power, which makes locked doors meaningless.
Just a warning to OP, the new world is specifically catered to vampires, if you visit there you will see vampires everywhere.
In one save I completely ignored them and so far the only thing that happens is I have someone come to the door now and then. I didn't research them, get garlic or delete them. Zero problems there so far. This is the game I've been currently playing for awhile.
In another save so far still no autonomous break ins. Had a serial romantic get close to Caleb. After that there were more visits from other vampires (just coming to the door) but no break ins. My sim went on a lengthy vacation to Granite Falls and let that relationship deteriorate. No visits at all happened there.. just some invites by phone call. When I sent him home I planted garlic by the front door and there were no visits at all by vampires (played that sim a few more weeks).
I'm pretty sure that by ignoring them and not researching ect them in a save you can avoid them in that one particular save. I'm not sure what happens in a rotational save though if some families have vamp relations and some don't..
Link please
That's what I've heard about aliens from Get To Work. Personally I've never contacted them, don't have any alien friends, etc and I NEVER see them. I used to get a phone call from one inviting me out every now and then but I put the cell on silent now. So you may be right. If I just don't engage in Vampire activity I should be okay. Plus I think the organ is cool
Does anyone know if you delete the vamp premades if new ones spawn with low skills?
Yeah, I re-tested this and was able to teleport into a locked room and, while I couldn't use the "vampiric entrance" into the locked room, I was able to use a different action to vampirically allow or deny access to a locked room. However, in my experience, the vampires won't use the teleport or fly as bat power to enter a locked bedroom and they don't appear to use the vampirically allow access to a room for themselves either. I've never seen one enter a locked bedroom to attack one of my sims....they just stand out in the hall or watch TV or take out the garbage but they never try to get into that locked bedroom.
You cannot contract vampirism through feeding. There is a specific interaction that results in turning, and it will never be performed unless the player asks a vampire to do so. As far as locked doors go, we laugh at them. An iron bolt is no match for the power of undeath. Garlic is another matter. Blech.
Where can I find the garlic wreath? I can't find it in my buy mode. I just had a vampire break in trying to drain my sim.
To find it you have to first enter this cheat

Then this cheat

After you'll be able to find it in buy mode, it's one of things that are hidden in buy mode. To get it with out cheating, your sim will learn how to make one in the Vampire Lore skills.
