5 wasn't bad, but it was thoroughly disappointing compared to 4, which is one of my favourite games ever. In every regard, it just felt like a cheap 3D knock-off of RF4, cloning most of the core mechanics and items, then filling in the gaps with characters that weren't as interesting, really cheap-looking world design and assets, and really weird pacing that meant I'd done pretty much everything except get married by the first week of the first Summer (and I didn't really care about getting married because none of the characters were compelling enough to make me stick around for another three months of watering crops whose progression tree I'd already mostly finished and making incremental progress through the maze). I had fun for like 60-65 hours, which is respectable enough, but I didn't feel like taking it any further than that, in stark contrast to coming out of RF4 after 200+ hours and still wanting more.

Also the fact that you can't place furniture right next to walls is the most infuriating thing ever and I have no idea who thought that was a good idea.

and how is a part 4 the best in the series?

There are many who would say that applies to Resident Evil and 2D Mario (SMW being #4), off the top of my head. RF4 also wasn't the 4th RF game, since there were a bunch of non-numbered games before it.
