I think it would be really cool if Bloxburg added interactive NPC children, similar to the NPC baby system in Club Roblox!

Instead of NPC children just being decorative, they could have their own needs that players can interact with and take care of. Their independence could depend on their age.

For babies and toddlers, the player would need to help with most of their needs. For example, if they need to use the bathroom, the player could pick them up and take them to the bathroom. If they’re hungry, the player could prepare food and feed them, and if they’re tired, the player could put them to bed. Younger children could also need help with things like bathing, hygiene, and other basic needs.

As the NPC gets older, they would become more independent. An older child who needs to use the bathroom could recognize the need and go by themselves instead of requiring the player to take them. The same could apply to eating, sleeping, showering, and other basic needs.

NPC children could have needs such as hunger, hygiene, energy, fun, bathroom, and social. Players could interact with them through things like talking, playing, hugging, reading books, helping with homework, feeding them, putting them to bed, and taking them places.

They could also attend the new Bloxburg school. Younger children could need a parent to take them to the bus stop, while older children could walk there themselves. They could then ride the NPC school bus to school and return home afterward.

Overall, I think having different levels of independence based on age would make NPC children feel much more realistic and give players an actual reason to interact with and care for them, rather than having them simply follow the player around.
