I don't manage the tweaks mod at all, so unfortunately the fitting a description is not something I use or work with. The errors or missing button additionally may be related to that mod. You should check over on that page to find out.

Within settings.gd in the conquestrandportraits folder that you put in appdata\roaming\strive for power 2\mods, there is a variable minMatch=2. set that to -1 like minMatch = -1. That will do what you want, though it may periodically choose an otherwise valid male portrait as well so you may need to re-randomize it. I could do a more thorough change if it was demanded by a lot of people, but some may prefer futa being pushed to male, so I'd rather keep it random. If you would like to change the code yourself so that it changes futa to female without ever accidentally picking male, I can post the code changes here, but you would have to maintain it every update.
You likely either installed it incorrectly, or do not have images. Reinstall the mod following the instructions in the itch post above. The most recent version does not have a readme file. If you follow the instructions and the game is working normally, then you are missing images. Ensure you have images in your portraits and bodies folder of strive for power 2. If the game is not working correctly, you have installed it incorrectly.
I'm not sure I follow, the issue you are having is that after installing the mod - by putting the two folders into the location of the exe, and by putting randconquest folder into the appdata location - when you create a new game, it gives you the screen to create a starting slave instead of creating your master character? The screens are very similar so make sure by looking at the top left it says master character instead of slave. Otherwise I'm not sure, this mod never touches slave creation or loadout, or the gui pages associated with slave creation. Have you tried proceeding with the creation and playing the game? -- oh and make sure you have the most recent version of strive, otherwise the mod will break stuff.
I will not be able to continue updating this mod for the foreseeable future, so please check out the tweaks mod by Zeltop, as a substitute. That mod also changes things other than portraits, so feel free to download this port and manually migrate it to the most recent version of strive conquest if you only want the portrait functionality. You can find code I edited in the conquest src/gui modules by looking for "# Random Portrait" in code (without the "). Best wishes, Bear.
I've done a very basic port of Improved Random Portraits to conquest. There is a button in the customization pane to generate portraits for a character, and it auto generates them whenever a new character is created, i.e when the slave/hire market is repopulated.
This port is for v0.6.1c of conquest, and it requires you to have portraits that meet the naming requirements, you can find many of these packs at the Portrait Pack board of the original Strive, any that worked with the original mod will work with this port.
The basic instructions are as follows:
1. Download the mod.
2. drag and drop the "conquestrandportraits" folder to the Users/{your_username}/AppData/Roaming/Strive for Power 2/mods folder.
3. drag and drop the two folders src and gui_modules into the strive for power install location (where the Strive for power 2.exe is)
4. done
Bonus step: Check out the tweaks mod by Zeltop, it adds in changes to random portraits as well as other changes to the game that you may enjoy. The mod is NOT required for Conquest Random Portraits (this mod), but you should check it out anyway.
If you want to further modify it go ahead. If you encounter errors post here or on the discord in 'mods'. If any of the original authors have any issue with me porting this please let me know and I'll take it down. I just ported it for myself and figured some other people playing conquest would want it.
This mod does not need to be activated in the in game mod organizer to work. Also be aware I'm not affiliated with the makers of strive, therefore sometimes updates will be delayed after the newest version of strive comes out. If you wanna try and do it yourself feel free but I will usually have it out within a week of the new strive.
