[V] Game is cloning existing sims as Vampires

You know how the game will generate new sims for you and put them in "Manage Households -> Other Households" ? For the a long time now, it's been generating households with the same name as households that  I had previously deleted, either with completely different sims in them or with clones of a few of the sims from those deleted household. 

For example - Original Jones family (Bob, Jane, Nancy, Paul) was deleted. A household called Jones appears in "Other Households"  either just with Bob in it or with one or more sims who are completely unrelated to the Jones family). I've just been deleting them because I didn't want them in my game. 

Now, for the past couple of weeks, the game generates a copy of one sim from a household that I am currently playing, in their own new household. And that cloned sim is a vampire.  (It might help to know that I play rotationally.)

Example - in my game Geoffrey and Nancy Landgraab got divorced and Geoffrey married Mila Munch. Mila changed her name to Mila Landgraab. A couple sim days later, I'm playing the Bailey-Moon household and Mila *Munch* (she's showing up with her old name) shows up at the door late at night. I'm suspicious so we don't answer. Then she starts with the vampire animations and turns into a bat. 

Why is this happening? How can I stop it?  The only mod I use is MCCC and it happens with or without it.

    I stumbled upon the settings when I was looking for something else. Here is how to get there. Click on a computer, select MC Command Center -> MC Population -> Populating Settings -> Import Tray Settings (you'll have to scroll almost to the bottom for this one) -> Import Tray Sim Percent. Set that 0 and it will stop pulling townies from your tray files.
