So what DO roommates actually do?

Yes, they can age and die, they eat of course and sleep. They flirt sometimes and can serenade your sims and other roommates, but they don't woohoo (unless you have a certain adult mod for that). If they get pregnant, they move out, but you can date them. Not sure about marriage (but I think it's possible).
In my experience they use objects based on their traits (I had an active roommate who was constantly playing basketball), and it's actually better to have some hobby/skill-building items, otherwise they can get bored and move out. They can also move out because their needs are too low, and sometimes there is nothing wrong with the house, roommates are just acting stupid and refusing to take care of themselves.
They do cook, but they have an obsession with white cakes I think... At least it was a thing a year ago. And they can bring food from nowhere.
Actually, roommate sims have a certain bunch of hidden traits that determine their behavior.

As for mods, I can recommend littlemssam's Choose Your Roommate, it doesn't change their behavior, but makes a process of choosing one easier. Also it can increase a roommate cap to 20 I think.
