Spawning to WHAT end..?

I have had a personal issue since having Vampire sims spawning 2-4 at a time. I now and then every few sim days check the Manage Worlds to see what new sims have spawned as they seem to regularly and between 2-5 do and 2-4 of them are all vampires... I have so many vamps placed or sims turned as is... Every no and then I keep one of the computer's created vampires but constantly more spawn, few to NO normal sims ever seem to spawn. Actually is a 1 in 20 chance right now it would seem.... To what end does the Game intend to spawn vampires? How many of its own creations does it need to have before it finally STOPS spawning more occults? I love occults but all things in moderation and don't really want more than maybe 10 (if that) vampires in my game at any given point... It's frustrating having to delete vampire batch after vampire batch...
... And no option to STOP the game from spawning it's own occults constantly... To say I'm annoyed is an understatement.

I can't really answer your questions, but I can say that if you aren't opposed to using mods, MC Command Center offers several ways of tailoring your population more to your liking. Including ways to Humanize, Alienize, or Vampirize sims.

Check out the Occult and Population modules, either or both might be helpful. (Each module has its own page under the Documentation tab.)

Wish I had that problem.
The game will obsessively provide you with 5-8 vampires. It does this because when the game desires to spawn sims that fill certain roles, it may desire to create a new sim to fill that role. Vampires are indeed a role of their own, so the game "needs" a vampire pool to draw from. Don't bother deleting these, as the game will obsessively replace them.
Now, if you have 10+ vampires and it keeps giving you 5-8 more, then yeah that's a bit odd. I would leave them be for a while and see the "limit" where they stop being spawned. My games tended to have a limit of ~8 vampire NPCs before the game stopped making new ones. If you can get well over that, it may be a bug and may be worth reporting.
Given what you said and the fact that usually 1 or 2 of them are ELDER vampire sims, MCC seems almost like something to consider, don't want no elder sims (that is) who wont just die!
Btw thank you @DeservedCriticism & @egwarhammer for your thoughtful and helpful comments/ replies, they are/ were much appreciated!
Just ONE more question, @DeservedCriticism if you are willing,
I have left 2-3 game spawned vamps, but edited them and moved one or both into home as they are being spawned 'not in world'; is/ does this affect the game's way of thinking? Will/ does it count toward it's vampire pool count?
If not, I think I might delete them, cause otherwise they are just an unneeded/ unwanted over population of vampires.
@SimGuruNinja has explained the game won't overly generate vampires, do you have mods or cc? Sorry, I read this the other day and didn't reread it this morning to find out if you have mods or not. The game isn't going to over populate your game with vampires there must be something you are doing to trigger so many.
No MODs nor CC EVER. I did start playing a sim who is living in that Forgotten Hallow, where I noticed IF I place a sim(s) there to live the game spawns Vampires regularly, I noticed cause each time I'd see a sim around I'd look to see if I could have my sim bit them...
Maybe the Forgotten Hallow in my game is somehow has a glitch? Only in my game where I started with a placed house there does this happen or, even though that house isn't even being played nor marked as 'played' the game still feels need to spawn those Vampires...?
I detest the idea MODs ('Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong') and CC I find to ruin the game from back when I played Sims 3, and used some once...
That's what I am thinking. I have a second game, a generational one, I did not play at all in Forgotten Hallow and no vampires are being spammed in 'Not In World'... Only have the given 3 vampires, the 6 Maxiscreator_1 vampires I added to the world and 3 or so Pre-made sims I had a vampire of mine turn. Can't help but wonder if we are two of a minority of simmers who have this THING (glitch or whatever it is) or if it's has effect on ALL games just not everyone is or has played in Forgotten Hallow...
@VenusABatson Do you play in Forgotten Hallow? If not, try moving there and see if over a period of two sim days or so if you see NPC Not In World Vampire sims in your game spawning... Will be two or more at a time. Or just two... Seems, from what I am seeing, if you delete even one two- four will take it's/ their place... Or it's something that's only going on in SOME games...
