Hmm... Potions?

OK, so I know that a certain something to do with teenagers and babies/toddlers isn't being incorporated into the game, and I know that some people have a mod that lets them have that something in their game, but I don't because I couldn't get it to work and it ended up doing my head in. Anyway, I was just reading here (http://www.edenstyle.it/expansion-packs/the-sims-3-generations-preview-part-9-chemistry-set.html) when I saw the thing about the young again potion, which lets your sims jump back an age (like adults to teens, etc). So I had a thought. I know it would be an incredibly faffy way to do it, but if, hypothetically, you had two adult sims that had a baby, and then both sims took this potion again to become teens - would that work, do you think? Or is it possible that there'll be some in-game block?

(Pssst...I wondered how that would work too...like if they age back to teen after they had a kid who was a teen...their kid could end up older than the parent...)
Ohh, thank you
That's not to say I wouldn't like a de-aging option available, just that there are several basic gameplay issues that would need to be addressed. Maybe in a house that has no other adults, a pop-up notice comes up saying something like "You could be rendering your house unplayable. Do you really want to do this?" - a bit like the "Return to the Netherworld" option for playable ghosts - or just a po-up that warns that for every de-aging that goes under [young] adulthood.
Also, I think such a device (potion or whatever) should have restrictions on it's availability. Maybe make it available only through an Opportunity, like the Ghost-O-Tron or the first Simbot. A sim has to wait until they get the opportunity call, then carry out a few tasks (maybe they need to supply Life Fruit, Death Fish, Death Flowers, Plasma Fruit, specific gem stones, or other items appropriate to the de-ageing theme), then they get de-aged. Or de-ageing is a Lifetime Reward that costs an exorbitant amount of points to buy, like up in the levels that the food replicator or the teleport pad are located.
Keep in mind, the already existing de-ageing options (admittedly, options that only de-age within the sim's current age group) are already difficult things to get - Life Fruit is a rare seed to get, most worlds only have one spot to get Death Fish and they also have time restrictions for when you can fish for them, and both need top skill levels to get them and the Ambrosia recipe is very expensive. A de-ageing option that is even more dramatic than Life Fruit or Ambrosia should be difficult to get.
Actually, no, you do not need a adult in the house. Heck you don't even need a young adult in the house.
Yeah, I had a family of two teens and a child because their parents died in a 'tragic' fire.
Oh, I'm sorry, I misread that.
