There is no overview picture of the entire map, showing the neighborhood from a high angle or top-down view, or the picture(s) included are not adequate. If everything cannot be fit into one screenshot, then it's okay to use multiple pictures to show the whole map, as long as those pictures are clearly presented.
While there is an overview picture of the new map, some of the terrain options are missing an overview.

The overview image(s) are fantastic. The entire map is shown clearly and is easy to understand. Thank you!
General Guidelines
When creating a new map to play in, an aerial view really shows off what you've made. This overview should show the whole map clearly and allows downloaders a simple and easy-to-understand glance at what is included. Make sure to show the map from a top-down view taken from high in the air.
For large maps, it may not be possible to show the entire map in a single picture. In this case it is acceptable to use multiple screenshots, as long as the entire map is shown, and the presentation makes it clear how all of the parts fit together.
Small labels to indicate areas, buildings, spawners, etc may be used as long as they are unobtrusive and do not block the view of any important content.
The Sims 2 Guidelines, apply in addition to the above General ones.
Neighborhoods & CAS Screens
When creating a new, empty neighborhood players are prompted to choose what type of terrain they want for the map so it's important that there are overview pictures showing each of the four terrain options.
