How do I make the out-of-office option visible in Lotus Notes?
It was usually available under the Tools drop down but now only Preferences is visible under this drop-down.
I am using Lotus Notes 8.5.

First of all: the basic client is already installed. You can always start the basic client by creating a shortcut for "notes.exe -sa" (or by using the Windows Run command to launch "notes.exe -sa").
Are you not able to turn on the setting in Preferences? Your administrator might have set a Desktop Policy to prevent this.
FYI: Here is a document from IBM describing various ways to disable the Notes 8.x Recent Contacts feature. Your administrator might need to be involved: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21267115
Make sure that Sametime Contacts is set to be shown in the sidebar using View - Right Sidebar Panels - Sametime Contacts.
