First year of simming...
So it's now about a year since I came across TS3 on sale on Steam. I got the base game plus UL for maybe $C13. I certainly can't say I haven't gotten my money's worth. The game is not without its f...

Here’s a link showing what all the options tabs look like, which may be of help: https://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/forum/index.php?topic=27533.0
Without all relevant packs installed, your demographic options will appear different. I have all packs, so I’m not certain whether vampires will be listed as an option for you (as they came with both Late Night and Supernatural). But as you can see from the last image in the link, the pop controls are simple on/off toggles.
If you do have the vamp pop setting available with only LN (and not SN) installed, using that would keep new vampires from spawning. However, this will not affect any vampires that already exist.
There is a TCE shift/click mailbox cheat, which allows you to add or remove specific existing occult types already in the world, but again, IDK if you would have that cheat available without having SN. But using it would remove the chosen occult state from all Sims in the world, causing them to become human, except for any in your active household.
If you don't have the cheat function and you're not averse to using mods, NRaas MasterController with the additional MC Cheats module has a command to add or remove any occult type on an individual or global level.
If you don't have any of these other options to limit vampire immigration, you may wish to not have EA Story Progression enabled, as that process will add new vamps to your town over time. I have always had EA SP unchecked, as I prefer to manage town progression myself, and have never had the vamp proliferation problem that other simmers have experienced.
I hope one of these methods works for you so you can better enjoy the LN EP. :)
