Have you clicked on the empty_lot.xml in the "lot/sim finder" gizmo?

There's no "online" yet. The game is in a very early alpha stage. There's no 24/7 servers yet so you will be mostly playing by yourself unless someone's hosting.
 
They're two kinds of lots: job and user created. The job lots are nightclub, restaurant, and robot factory. Those offer a limited amount of gameplay since it's just a small part of what makes TSO. If you choose your own, user created lot, or an empty lot then you modify or create your own from scratch but not all objects work and isn't possible to create custom job lots.

I didn't see any guide on how to join a server, so i'll explain it myself :p

Installing FreeSO(Skip these steps if you already have it installed and working):
1.Download The Sims Online from Here: http://largedownloads.ea.com/pub/misc/tso/Setup The Sims Online.exe
2.Install it on Drive C(May cause problems on other hard drives)
3.Follow the installation steps, when it asks you for a CD Key cancel the installation
4.Download the latest FreeSO Dist here:http://servo.freeso.org/viewLog.html?buildTypeId=ProjectDollhouse_TsoClient&buildId=lastSuccessful&buildBranch=<default>&guest=1
5.Extract the Dist ZIP file with WinRAR, WinZIP or any other compression/decompression program on The Sims Online installation directory(Usually C:/Program Files/The Sims Online/TSOClient)
6.Extract the extra packing slips from here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12239448/packingslips.rar to The Sims Online installation directory, into the existing packingslips directory.
7.If the game doesn't work, try downloading updated Graphics Drivers and OpenAL or connecting a sound device (speakers, headphones, etc.)

Joining a server:

1.Look for servers on one of these pages(Or get the server IP/Address from the server owner):
1.Once you have the IP/Server address copied or written, open FreeSO.exe in your TSOClient folder in your TSO installation directory(Make sure the server uses the same dist/version as you)
2.Open FreeSO.exe
3.Create your Sim/Avatar(No need to create it every time you launch the game, it will get saved)

4.Click the "Search Icon"

6.Now click on exact match and wait!

Tips/Troubleshooting:
1. If while connecting to the server the bar gets stuck at 0%, maybe the server is closed or using a different version, also check if you wrote the address correctly
2. If it gets stuck at 25%, wait longer, try updating the version or restart the game
3. Not working? Try downloading updated Graphics Drivers and OpenAL or connecting a sound device (speakers, headphones, etc.)
