Honestly, I don't get the appeal of LBP. Played it at my brothers. Found it utterly pointless and boring although my 5 year old nephew has tremendous fun with it because he can't die. There's no enemies, no real objective, no challenge of any sort, I didn't see any levels that required 1 iota of thinking to clear. Just walk through them aimlessly to accomplish - nothing.

However the level editor - the main selling point - is extremely robust and there's nothing to match it anywhere. At least not in a platformer.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl has a decent level creator too, and while it doesn't have the fantastic up/down loading of levels like LBP (it does to a very limited degree) that is available online on some sites. However Brawl is a brawler not a platformer although it does have a huge single (or coop) platform story mode as well.

Never played My Sims - I don't think there's any level creator in that like in LBP but you do create homes and businesses from building it to designing. If you want to build stuff then My Sims is an excellent option. Plus is offers a story, characters, and a lot more depth that LBP doesn't - storywise.
