Technical problems with THE HORROR: downloading, installing, and running it

Okay, it's P&L at phyllis time (suddenly I have an image of a dancing banana). Be gentle, though, because I'm an ARRRR virgin. (Hmm. That really gets weird since it followed the banana reference). Ahem .. anyway .....

The torrent sites are including the following instructions with their TS3 download:

2. Burn or mount the image.
So ... I've never, to my knowledge, mounted anything (gah! More sexual innuendo!), so I'll stick with the disk. So, we actually unRAR the files, burn them to disk, then install from disk. (Seems clunky, but I'll not question why it must be done this way). Do we then have to use the disk whenever we play? Or, if we do the following, does that eliminate the need for using the disk beyond install?

Check your "Sims3Setup.exe" with WinRAR. If you can open it in WinRAR and find another one in there, along with a "codec.exe", you has it. That's the real one. Copy your CD contents, replace the wrapped version with the inside version.
And if we do the above, do we do it before copying to the disk and installing, or after? It seems like you're saying "before," Big Fish, but I'm a nervous and uncertain F and want to be sure. Also, if I do the above, does that eliminate the game trying to phone home, or is it better just to disconnect from the internet before playing?
I feel ultra dumb, and I almost sent this by PM, but I figure that if someone answers, many will benefit.

If you'll need the disk after the install depends on the crack, but I would guess you'll need it.
copying of the crack is done after the install, from the disk i guess if it's on the disk (I always mount).

More ignorance here. I've used no-CD cracks before, so I understand that concept. Does the crack come with the torrent, or must it be downloaded separately? (My torrent finished just before I left for work, so I haven't unRARed anything yet and don't really know what's there).

if you downloaded the rld-sim3.iso file (the one from PB/ISOHUNT) that isn't .rar'd but is just the plain iso file, then it should be in the /crack directory with the keygen

Yes, might as well get started :)
