A building being designed by a player.
The SimCity 2000 Urban Renewal Kit, SCURK for short, is a tool for SimCity 2000 that allows players to edit and create in-game buildings and make color swaps.
It runs as a program entirely separate from the main game and can publish users' creations directly to the game when it completes.
Tools[]
