Its been a while since I've played Sims and I gave my Sims with all expansions to my sister-in-law, but as far as I can remember it needs the Sims CD, it starts installing then it asks for the sims CD and when its done it asks for the expansion CD again. And the file, well, I'm not too sure, I think it might be cab2 or datacab2 or something like that, I could be wrong, its been a while and I might be confusing myself a little bit with some other games, its possible if you sit infront of a PC 24 hours a day
