Purchasable Collectible Finder

Full Disclosure: I remember seeing either a mod or a tutorial where the author had said that they had made the collectible finder purchasable
but when I looked for it I couldn't find it, and I can't remember if it was on this site or elsewhere, so if anyone knows the tutorial or mod that
I am referring to please let me know, so that I can give the original author proper credit. - Thanks

If I remember correctly, the collectible finder mod was either a stand alone tutorial or a part of a collection of individual mods.Since I couldn't find the original I decided to post a similar mod for anyone who might want that functionality.

This mod makes the collectible finder purchasable by moving it from a mission unlock to a normal upgrade. Note that it might not be
purchasable until after you complete 'The Real World' mission/

Note: Since the collectible finder was originally a reward from Matt Miller, and since I wasn't sure if him not having a reward would banjax the game
I opted to replace it with the clothing discount.

and the <Price>0</Price> line to
