Many modeling of the Sagittarius (Sgr) stream have been attempted, but they still have difficulties to reproduce its full 6D space-phase properties. Using N-body simulation with a Milky Way mass of 5.2$\times10^{11}$ M${\odot}$ and a Sgr mass of 9.3$\times10^{8}$ M${\odot}$, we have been able to reproduce well all 3D spatial features of Sgr stream, including its core, leading and trailing arms, and their associated bifurcations. Moreover, all reported 3D kinematics properties of the Sgr stream have been qualitatively reproduced without the need for a massive LMC, although the latter can not be ruled out from this work. Moreover, we also find that our model fails in reproducing the exact behaviors of the stream arms in the energy-angular momentum plane. It let us to suggest that significant further progress can be only achievable after introducing a major component in the Sgr progenitor, which is the gas that dominates all Irregular dwarf galaxies in the Sgr mass range.
