Winrar <-> ISo
When downloads were relatively small, Winrar was a perfect solution for up- and downloading Sims-games.
Nowadays we see downloads of many Gigabytes, some even more than 20 GB.
Extracting such large files with Winrar is very time-consuming. All-in versions can take more than an hour to extract.
Since the introduction of \Windows 8 and 10 we no longer need programs like Daemon or Poweriso to manage .iso files.
In Windows 8,10 it is sufficient just to rightclick on a downloaded .iso and to clcik in the pop-up window on Open with ... and then select Windows Explorer.
The .iso will automatically mount to a virtual DVD-player and can be accessed immediately without the lengthy extracting of Winrar..
The Sims 4 all-in can be started directly from the downloaded and mounted iso without even installing the game.

Using an .iso will also save disk-space as - after the initial download - you don't need space for the extracted file
