We discuss advancements in modeling core-collapse supernovae with our code CHIMERA. We describe the status and details of our tracer particle method and its uses for post-processing nucleosynthesis and as a tool for broad core-collapse supernova (CCSN) model analyses. We also introduce our progress towards expanding a nuclear reaction network beyond the alphanetwork for the purpose of accurate in-situ nucleosynthesis, not only for core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) in general, but for a special sub-class of supernovae called electron capture supernovae (ECSNe), which stem from progenitors stars between 8 and 10 M⊙. By using an advanced nuclear reaction network, our 2D and 3D code will allow for unparalleled studies of CCSNe and ECSNe ejecta.
