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

I have all the expansions installed. Should I uninstall a few of them? Would that make it go faster?
Since these are unrelated things, no.

Just a heads up, my virus scanner detected (and luckily blocked) backdoor.graybird in the key gen exe of the razor1911 version. The rest of the download comes up clean

I've read and read threads here till my head hurts, and I can't make out what on earth I need to do, so I'm throwing myself out hoping I can get some help. I've attempted phyllis' aid, but I think I've thoroughly confused her and managed to embarrass myself in the process. (Thanks for bearing with me, phyllis.) If someone can help a newb pirate, I'd be so grateful.
I've been downloading files from here for two days now: http://www.rlstalk.net/topic/3897-the-sims-3-razor1911/ <-- the hotfile version. I've got all of them downloaded, including the crack. I opened WinRAR, extracted all 26 files AND the crack file and was left with what looks like this:
Inside the CrackFix file is pretty much the same:
It was suggested that I download an NFO reader (have never heard of that in my life), and when I googled I saw several different versions, but since I don't really know what it IS, I'm not sure what versions are trusted. Scratch that. I've got GetDiz and now see the keygen stuff, but still don't have a clue what to do to get the .iso files.
Basically, at this point I've got a bunch of files that I can't open, no .iso files that I can SEE, so I'm not sure if I'm supposed to extract files rzr-sims3.001 through rzr-sims3.054. Also, I've got 2 NFO files called "revolver.nfo" and "rzr-sims3.nfo"--do I extract those?
Inside the Crack folder I've got 4 files: 0.bin, rzr-sc3f.001, rzr-sc3f.nfo, and rzr-sc3f.svf. No clue what they're for or what to do with them. UPDATE: I've "verified" the sfv files, but I don't know why I needed to do that. It didn't teach me anything or get me any closer to my end goal, which is to find the .iso files and figure out what to do next.
Help is appreciated in advance. I'm overwhelmed.

No worries. I was mighty confused at that point, too. Download 7-zip, or use WinRAR if you have it. I find that 7-zip does everything that I would have needed from WinRar and it is FREE. I like free. Whichever method you use, click on the FIRST .001 file That is a rar file that has been broken up into many parts. .001 is the first part. Unless you have a file called rzr-sims3.rar, then THAT is the first one. If you are using 7-zip, RIGHT click on the first file. Choose EXTRACT HERE. 7-zip will quietly go about extracting every file in order. You will be left with an .iso file.
NFO file is simply an INFO file. Open it with Notepad. Should have text in it.
Also, googling really does help you learn. Typing in ".001 file" in google gives you this page as the first link:
http://www.binaries4all.com/001/
And that taught me what I am now teaching you. I also google NFO file to learn what that meant, too. Most folks have struggled before you have, asked and you can just google to learn what they learned!
So use GoogleU (Google University) to learn.

Trust me, I've done my share of google, MATY, PMBD, and other outlets to figure out what the heck I'm supposed to do. It's not that I don't understand what things ARE now--I've read what these files are. My problem NOW is I just need to figure out what to DO with all of it! I see all of these files in one spot and my brain just goes into shut-down mode.
Google is my friend, and I know how to use it. I simply have just never ARR'd anything before, have no idea how to get this game extracted/setup, so that's my problem--not that I'm a retard that doesn't know how to google. :D
And since I don't have anyone offering to take me step-by-step, I'm having to go through blindly with the hope that I don't blow something up.
