Vampires and Werewolves: Peacemaking
Putting Vampires and Werewolves that are not related has made for interesting dynamics, and carefully watchful schedules about who's where in the house when a discussion is brewing. I'm trying to make...

I have an Occult Short Lifespan Legacy challenge going on where each generation heir (occult) has to have the next heir baby with another occult of another type etc, and the second generation was a werewolf heir romancing Caleb Vatore. I have autonomy on, but had no overwhelming issues at all. Later on as Caleb moved in and Lilith became a relative, I even introduced them to Lily Zhu since they're cousins, and although that was a bit tricksier, it worked out eventually. I do remember using the 'fix the relationship' conflict resolution style a few times, too.
It's been quite a while since that happened, so don't even remember what I did or didn't do. It's perfectly possible that my heir had Incredibly Friendly reward trait before introducing herself to Caleb, and that gives quite a bump to the initial friend-relationship, even with the negatives the werewolf-vampire situation creates. I feel that once you get the friendship level high enough, the situation calms down, but until that point you really cannot trust them alone for one moment, careful micro-management and pausing often and checking what they're talking about and doing is the only way.
As for general befriending in difficult situations, try cloudwatching or starwatching together, that raises friendship quite a bit without them doing or saying anything risky. Also if you have the high school pack, the social bunny messaging is the new photography in the terms of raising friendship level fast. Anything that has sims doing stuff together but not talking might work out too, sand castles, snow stuffs, maybe bowling, fishing together, hiking together, juice pong?
Also if they have high enough charisma, you can do 'smooth apology' when something goes wrong, it fixes the damage somewhat, and sometimes gets rid of the bad sentiments, too.
