You can switch Simple Build off from the in‑game settings menu. Once it’s off, building goes back to the normal, classic system.
Steps to turn it off
- Open Fortnite and go to the main lobby screen.
- Open the main menu (top‑right icon on most platforms).
- Select the Settings/gear icon.
- Go to the Game tab (it’s the tab with the controller icon, usually the 4th one).
- Scroll down to the Building section.
- Find the “Simple Build” option and change it to Off.
- Apply/Save the settings, then back out to resume playing.
