            playerFamily.onFamilyCultureChanged += HandleFamilyCultureChange;
        }
    }

    private void HandleFamilyCultureChange(Culture oldCulture) {
        Debug.Log($"The player's family culture has been changed to: {IM.Player.Family.Culture.CultureName}, Old name: {oldCulture.CultureName}");
        // Additional logic to handle the culture change
    }

    void OnDestroy() {
        if (IM.Player.Family != null) {
            IM.Player.Family.onFamilyCultureChanged -= HandleFamilyCultureChange;
        }
    }
}
