I just bought supernatural, but I don't want zombies and other supernatural stuff in my realistic saves. I tried sims game selector, but it didn't work because when I opened it all the pack options were greyed out. Is there another way to turn off specific packs? I'm playing on steam if that makes any difference.
I also tried playing with the pack just to see if it would be intrusive, and on the first night I had a full moon and 4 zombies on my lot so I had to quit without saving.

Also, your lunar phase is in Options under the Seasons tab. You can set your lunar phase to a fixed, non-full phase to avoid full moon shenanigans.
I'm pretty sure this will apply across ALL saves though. I don't know away to enable/disable supernatural sims on a town-by-town basis without mods.

Disabling all of the occult types will stop the game turning your townies into supernaturals, but if you already have supernaturals in that world it is possible some of them might turn others to their occult state. I have had this happen only once that I know of, and it was in Moonlight Falls which is the world that came with Supernatural. One of my sims got turned into a vampire when I changed households for a short time. I cured her easily enough, so it wasn't a huge problem but it did make me wonder how it happened. I finally worked out one of the vampires that came with the world must have done it to her. If it had happened to a townie that I wasn't playing at all then I probably would have never noticed.
I don't tend to worry about the zombies so haven't changed the phase of the moon but that is the only way I know of that will keep zombies away. They only arrive when it's a full moon.
I hope you are able to find a solution that suits you.

Disabling Supernatural is easy. Just shut off all of the occults in the story progression options and set the lunar cycle to a single phase besides the full moon, or disable Supernatural entirely via the game launcher every single time you plan on playing with one of your realistic saves. If you choose the latter option, you won’t be able to use any supernatural content in those saves, and some of it is stuff that pretty much does exist in the real world. I’m guessing The Steam version also includes the game launcher? Please let me know if I’m wrong. I’ve never played the Steam version of the Sims 3
Keep in mind through you won’t be able to disable certain occults that come with other expansion packs, such as the mermaids and aliens without the use of mods. That said, those creatures don’t seem to reproduce much even when story progression is on.

You’re welcome. Glad we could help
I did not save the entire registry, I mean I did but I don't restore it, since that would revert any changes made for other apps as well. And I wouldn't recommend this for someone who's not comfortable with the possibility of breaking stuff. But it is a lot easier than constantly uninstalling and reinstalling the packs, which would involve cleaning the registry anyway.
And also that is a great suggestion about only backing up those files instead of the whole registry. Never thought of that!

There are several ways to remove the occult type from your sims.
In the game you can get an elixir to cure them. I'm not sure if it has to be a Potent Cure Elixir or if a Cure Elixir will do. Often the Potent version of elixirs is needed to make the effects permanent.
Or, if you have Master Controller, I think you also need the MC Cheats module, you can choose 'Intermediate | Occult Remove' and then choose whichever Occult states are marked at True.
