if its a bin and cue file you mount the bin file (or i could be wrong and its the other one, you'll figure it out)
Just make sure the .bin and .cue files are in the same directory and browse to it with DT. The emulator will know what to do. Technically, the .cue extension is only useful when burning an audio cd, since it contains the information for the track listing (times, order etc). However, many groups use the .cue/.bin format for data discs even though there will only be one "track".
If you find yourself reinstalling packs often, it may be worth your while to pick up a burner like Nero and making an actual back-up disc (blank cds are a dime a dozen). This will allow you to keep a copy of the install media without wasting perfectly good disc space on an image file.

Thanks for the advice. Right now my big problem seems to be the Key that needs to be entered during install. There is an info file included but when I try to open it I get a message stating that the system was unable to open the file probably because the file is either corrupted or of an unknown type. Since it happens with others that I tried to download instead, I am guessing that it's an unknown file type. I don't know what to do about that.

I never did anything TS2, but I did Life Stories and Pet Stories and both had one of those info files too. not sure what it's for, but leave it alone. Try going to the disk and doing "explore" on it; sometimes there's a keygen under a folder called "crack" or something similar. Otherwise, go to the page you got it from, there's often a key listed in the comments because someone went "OMG I NEED A KEY!!!". If neither option works, you'll need a keygen.
Ennarys:
More great advice, thanks. Now my CD drive will no longer recognize that my seasons CD is in the drive when I try to load it up :-\
I'm full of stupid problems; I'd make a lousy pirate. AAAR---*chokes on spit*
Any ideas for my new problem?
witch:
Right click on the .nfo file and open it with Notepad. Your system thinks it's a system file.
It will give you a key most likely buried in the text round about the middle.
You will be able to look on the virtual CD, there's often a folder labelled 'Crack', or maybe a folder arrived where you extracted the .rar files, check there too. You will need to put the Sims2EP5.exe file in the Program Files folder where you have installed the game.
This is mine: C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Seasons\TSBin
Rename the original Sims2EP5.exe to Sims2EP5.old and leave it in the folder, you will need to restore it if you patch or install another EP.
Then put the cracked Sims2EP5.exe in that folder.
Good to go.
