Aging Down Adult to Teen
I plan on getting my young adult sim pregnant, then when the baby is born, age her down to a teen. Will she automatically start going to school? Or no?

Yes, the teen Sim would start going to school. I have done this a lot in my own game and the only glitch so far I have come across has to do with special outfits. Special outfits such as when children dress up using the costume chest, Halloween costumes, etc. The issue is when an aged down Sim uses their previous special outfit from their previous age that no longer is for the correct age group. This causes one of three visual glitches.
1. The textures of the Sim's whole body/attire will be that as if nude. (Though it might be possible that CC got miscategorized for the wrong age as a special outfit...I'm not sure.)
2. The special outfit causes a Sim to stretch and deform. (I have seen this with one teen aged down to a child.)
3. While using the special outfit the Sim reverts back to their original age (I have seen this from young adult to teen aged down.)
Because there is no way or safe way to delete special outfits or edit to give the Sim a correct age specified special outfit, a Sim is basically stuck like that *if* special outfits are present. Though I'm sure there's more to it as not all my Sims who had special outfits were affected at all. I would probably have to create a new save and test it out to learn all the nuances. There is a workaround I figured out in case of a glitched special outfit. However, what I haven't figured out yet was if the Sim's memory is also transferred and no I'm not referring to the memory system of Generations.

The Sims that I have aged down I still play with and have been playing with for a long time...years. So that's just my personal experience, so far, of aging Sims down. Also, it's a good idea to reset the Sim after you age them down if that is the route you still want to go. However, as common knowledge as this should be by now, I'll say it anyway. Always back up and save your game so just in case if a fatal glitch happens you always have a good previous save to play from.
