The diner/restaurant/shopping-pictures are all preview pictures that you are going to see in the UI when you pick a job. They are not actual features, but they do show off some of the work uniforms our Sims will be able to unlock.
As to the matter of being misleading, mentioned in other answers: These were never used for promotion, but are part of the in-game UI. Thus none of these pictures can be called misleading, because nobody without the game would be able to see them, hadn’t they been found in the game files.

The pictures with clothes shopping and the fast food is very misleading as they are just zoomed in pics of the pictures that represent each job when you are picking them in the menu. However I am hoping this means we will get an expansion that actually has all of these! A business expansion would be perfect and awesome!!!

Logical,

I think you’re right about that. There’s also nowhere in either world for either of the restaurants or the clothing store to be located, plus EA would have mentioned this stuff by now, and shown them off if they were going to be actual fully functioning commercial venues in the game. That’s not something minor that they would forget to mention, since restaurants and clothing stores in the base game, would be a major selling feature, especially after they failed to include so much stuff from previous games.

Lytaren,

They said its from live mode, and that doesn’t look like Willow Creek, if this is the one you’re talking about.

If you look at the official map for Willow Creek, its much different. Even through this particular screen shot it fuzzy, you can clearly see that the layout is much different. Plus the only section of the map that’s in color is the neighborhood which has the lots being selected.

Awesomemarc,

It doesn’t matter, I’ve seen them before and many of them are just pictures for the different part time jobs for teens, and I suspect that fancy restaurant one is related to the professional chief career.

Awesomemarc,

I think that’s one of the images they use for the part time careers for teens. Again, you’re assuming something is going to be in the game, that hasn’t been confirmed and most likely isn’t in the game. Plus where exactly are all these restaurants and clothing stores going to be located. We pretty much know exactly how big both towns are going to be, and I’m sorry, but neither of them have lots that could be restaurants or clothing stores.

Awesomemarc,

I wouldn’t get your hopes if full service restaurants were really going to be in the base game, I have a hard time believing they wouldn’t have mentioned them by now. The closest thing that we have seen to a full service restaurant in the game, is that bar in Oasis Springs, and that only serves drinks, and doesn’t include any NPCs, except maybe a bar tender.

Except I that that there are objects and outfits we’ve never seen in the links I posted.

That is not a real diner, I believe that is a picture from one of the part-time jobs teens can have, I think i saw it before when they showed careers.
