This legacy starts with Courtney Tran, a Vietnamese Sim woman with dyed hair. She works as a daycare worker in the town of Sunset Valley and enjoys blogging for a hobby. The previous residents of Sunset Valley have been annihilated and replaced by families that I made or families made through the Twallan immigration system. This will be The Tran Legacy.

I didn’t follow much of the traditional legacy rules and I’ve poorly documented much of the story since this is my first time blogging about one so I’m sorry for that :P.

Here Courtney is trying to put the moves on Zackery Ross, but she soon finds out that Zackery has a boyfriend. Courtney is taken by surprise but she knows she still has small chance to get her dream man. She will have to play the supportive gal pal and help Zackery Ross discover his bisexuality. I don’t know whether this is a good thing or bad thing since she is only doing this for selfish reasons.

Courtney has succeeded in winning over Zackery Ross and helping him discover his bisexuality in the process. Zackery Ross works in the culinary arts. Here he is cooking Waffles for Courtney after they have finally moved in together. Sheba Ross, a puppy that Courtney previously adopted from neighbors, is also present.

Uh oh! Zackery‘s ex-boyfriend comes back and starts drama with Courtney. They argue a little but Courtney knows to keep it classy, she’s the one in a relationship with Zackery after all.

After a long day of hard work for both Courtney and Zackery, they give each other a kiss and enjoy each other’s company.

Sheba Ross is also all grown up now and she’s beautiful!

Courtney and Zackery have moved in to a bigger house which will provide more personal space for them and allow Courtney to continue with her daycare. This will become the official Tran Legacy Home. Even though their house is still a work in progress, Courtney and Zackery decide to get married and have a kid. Courtney Tran is now Courtney Ross.

Courtney has now given birth to Cordelia Ross (named after the legendary Buffy character). It’s a hard road for Courtney Ross, although she has a few days off to properly take care of her daughter, Zackery Ross is swamped at work and is barely able to help out. She wishes that he could be there for her but she knows that they need the money in order to support their daughter. They’ve moved into a house bigger than they could furnish and what luxuries they could have afforded had to be used for Courtney‘s Daycare job. Cordelia Ross barely knows who her father is.

Cordelia Ross is now a toddler. While the relationship with her father is still distant, he at least provides her with high quality home cooked meals in order to keep her strong and healthy. Zackery Ross is working hard to earn the promotions that he needs in order for him to finally have time to spend with his precious daughter.

Isn’t she…

just the darndest thing ever?

Zackery and Courtney Ross eat out at restaurant spending quality time together. After dealing with the many problems of life, they will finally have some time of relaxation. They enjoy these little moments together, but they rush home to Cordelia Ross hoping that the babysitter wasn’t screwing up too much.

Zackery enjoys some time with Cordelia at last. His hard worked paid off for this small moment, but he knows that he still has a long way to go before his job becomes easier and he can become much closer to his daughter.

Cordelia spends time with her imaginary friend doll, Harmony (another Buffy character) in the Daycare section of her home.

Happy Birthday to Cordelia Ross! The whole family celebrates.

Cordelia Ross is now a child. Her father, Zackery Ross, now has more time to spend with his daughter, but childhood isn’t a cakewalk for Cordelia Ross. She’s heard rumors about the imaginary friend dolls actually coming to life and she’s desperate to make her best friend Harmony into something more than a figment of her imagination. Cordelia spends a lot of time with the doll hoping she would come to life but to no avail. Any time that could’ve been spent with her father becomes time where Cordelia desperately tries to making Harmony real. With homework, constant needs, and her obsessions taking priority over her relationship with her father, she continues to be distant from him.

The Tran Legacy Home has expanded so Cordelia can have a room to herself. Future plans are made for more rooms for a possibly larger family. The family now shares one bathroom.

It’s Winter Holiday time in Sunset Valley, the family friends gather around a stack of presents that they have put together. What exciting things will our Sims get this holiday? Family friend Bonnie Bennett, the young woman sitting on the couch, borrows her name from The Vampire Diaries and is also a witch. How cool is that?

It’s an exciting holiday for all. Cordelia Ross sits far from the family preferring to be as alone as possible while Zackery Ross is busy with an important phone call. Courtney Ross is alone in hosting this party and she makes sure to do a damn good job. Things may sound bleak but in actuality, everyone has enjoyed themselves at the holiday party. The day was far from perfect but Courtney Ross has effectively made sure that this day would be cherished no matter how reluctant Cordelia was around adult company or how many work commitments that Zackery had to take care of. Although they didn’t know it at the time, this day would mark the beginning of a much closer and happier family.
