				\begin{document}$$\gamma $$\end{document}γ-ray and conversion-electron spectroscopy experiments are prime examples. The design of the required instrumentation and the interpretation of the resulting data can greatly benefit from detailed simulations. Here, we report on extensions to the NPTool framework that enable an accurate representation of the experimental conditions associated with the sage and spede spectrometers. In addition, we introduce a program package for implementing complicated de-excitation patterns to complement the NPTool framework.
