I've done side profile (or at least a head shot) and whole body shots for all my gen 1 sims. The side profile shows off the ugliest features to get rid of. I'll show the kids in each stage and then the YA full body and side profile. Here they are:
Rachel Hollis: founder
George Hollis: spouse
Liam Hollis: 1st son
Guy Hollis: 2nd son
Zander Hollis: 3rd son
Walker Hollis: 4th son (older twin)
Henrik Hollis: 5th son (younger twin)
Juni Hollis: 6th son
Annabelle Hollis: only daughter (heiress)
As you can see, the sims that didn't inherit Rachel's nose, inherited her weight (except for Henrik). Annabelle is skinny but has mom's ugly nose, ears (covered by hair) and chin.
I think Henrik turned out the cutest (has the most adorable sticking out ears) but because I like matriarchy's I had to go until she had a daughter. There were no watermelons or apples involved in this generation.
