Is there a mod available that's compatible with TWoS that allows free usage of any upgrades/weapons etc?

The 3 mods used by TWoS:

Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_byTheBeast
Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1
Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1 (available by date)

Thanks in advance

Hi Jaiden,
Don't use any mods or you may brake something...
Instead, open "Silent Hunter 5\data\UPCDataGE\UPCUnitsData\UpgradePacks.upc" with notepad and play with upgrade packs availability dates (in red) and costs (in green).

These in fly tweaks wouldn't require campaign restart but don't hold me on that. Cheers!
