Wow, definitely an eventful week! Congrats on the gallery, that seemed to be doing well! Too bad about the salon, from what I remember the makeover badges are a pain, though I haven't tried to actually sell them. Well, at least the townies are getting made over!

As for the register badge, I think there's a mod (by Twojeffs, maybe?) that makes it faster, so possibly you have that one? I think it's considered a bug fix, since the default pace for the register badge is so terribly slow.

I like Gordon too, but have never had him as a playable myself. Looking forward to seeing how he turns out - and hooray for babies. :)

Lovely update, as always!
