I think I have to agree that despite its origins as a dollhouse builder, the core of the Sims games has become its live mode- when what you've built or dressed up comes to life, and live mode is really what ties the minigames of the Sims (decorating, dressing up) into a whole package.
Otherwise there are other games like Tiny Glade, Interior Designer, House Flipper, Small Spaces, IMVU, Second Life, even games like Planet Zoo/Coaster that all seem to have more player customization in their respective paper doll/decorator elements- but they don't have that element of interactability or gameplay once you're done IMO.
