Slowing Down Sim Time

I subtract days manually by InSim (I don't know any other hack to add and subtract days, do you?).
If you mean adding or subtracting days left from the current life stage, you can use Merola's multi-painting to do this in-game.

for example school grades won't rise, no matter how hard your Sims study.
To avoid this glitch, you simply need to let children and teens age one day past their birthday. This same thing happens if aging is on but your teen becomes a vamp or zombie on the same day that they turned into a teen.
So you keep aging on until the next day then turn it off and these will no longer be problems? Nifty I did not know that, Thanks!

Right. You can just turn aging on sometime before 6pm the next day.
I forget exactly how many days they stay teens, but let's say it's 14 days. So, right after a child grows up into a teen, the age will be shown as "14 days left." If aging is turned off at this point (either using the code or by making the teen a vamp or zombie), you may get the grade glitch. But if you let the sim age the next day, so that he has "13 days left," then the glitch almost always goes away. I don't know if using a hack to take away one day will work too. Of course, with zombies and vamps it's a bit more complicated since they don't actually age. I don't recall if there is a fix for the zombies, but for vamps you pretty much have to cure them, let them age one day, and then vamp them again.

The glitch is actually an intentionally coded "Feature" that exists for some unknown sadistic reason. I should probably put the axe to it.

In Sims 1 they never aged and you could play for months without being bored. Now their life is ridicously short. With Seasons it seems more stupid then ever - you have baby born in winter and next summer it's already a teenager.
That was one thing I couldn't stand in Sims1. I hated that the sims never changed and that children never grew up. I only played Sims1 for a few months before giving it up for something else. Occasionally I'd reinstall it to add a new expansion, but I generally spent more time building than playing the sims themselves. They bored me.
I absolutely LOVE that they grow up, grow old, and eventually die. It makes the game so much more dynamic for me. I do wish their lifespans were a little longer, but cest la vie... I can always have them take a little elixer of life to add a few days.
Everyone has their own playstyle, though.
