Allow all of that except for creating new items/assets. Release DLC which when purchased lets you use its assets in your own levels. Then others who want to play them have to also purchase the DLC.

See the game Trials Fusion for an example of this, I think it worked well for them profits wise?

Sounds like Little Big Planet as well. The majority of content was user-created but they still sold content DLC which then allowed you to use those new items in your own levels.
