Overview:
Originally released with the Great Disasters Scenario add-on, the SimCity Urban Renewal Kit (SCURK) is a separate toolset bundled with the SimCity 2000 Special Edition released in 1995. SCURK is divided into 3 parts: "Paint the Town", a bitmap editor to create and edit buildings, "Pick and Copy", a tileset creator, and "Place and Print", basically a sandbox version of the original game. SCURK created a vibrant mod community with SimCity 2000, and some fan designs made it to SimCity 3000.
Gameplay:
Paint the Town
"Paint the Town" is basically a bitmap editor. It allows players to alter the appearance and graphics of any building in SimCity 2000 and even create new buildings.
Pick and Copy
"Pick and Copy" is a tileset editor for SimCity 2000. It allows players to save tilesets of buildings created in the "Paint the Town" tool and also came with premade custom sets made by the Maxis developers.
Place and Print
A sandbox version of SimCity 2000, "Place and Print" allows players to build and create their own city with little to no restrictions. Players also have access to every building and tile within SimCity 2000. "Place and Print" could also be used in other Sim games to create custom cities, and cities created in this tool can be imported into SimCity 2000.
