An ISO image (International Organization for Standardization) is an archive file that perfectly replicates the contents of an optical disc (CD, DVD, or Blu-ray).

Why does that matter? The Sims 1 used "Red Book" audio. The game’s famous Build Mode and Buy Mode music (the jazzy piano licks we all remember) were not stored as MP3s but as standard audio tracks on the CD.
