for instance, I guess that the project calendar is in conflict with you own calendar; some relationships between activities could be optimized, and so on
further more, as far as resource leveling is concerned, Microsoft changed the leveling algorithm when MSP 2013 was introduced.
I am really curious to have a look at your project, as it could be a very good example for my trainees if you are OK for me to use it; you could send your file to afaulxbriole@orange.fr, I will send my answer back within hours.
Welcome to Planning Planet! You've obviously done your homework, and there's nothing that jumps out as the source of your issues. It would certainly help if you would:
Identify the MSP version you are using
show some screenshots (though you'll need to host the images somewhere else, unless the PP image hosting problem has been fixed). Screenshots should show your options, setup, logic, task priorities, leveling options, etc.
identify your leveling options exactly
Maybe narrow down your problem to two or three tasks that aren't behaving as you would like, then illustrate them exactly.
The leveler in MSP is pretty sophisticated (i.e. not typically for novices); there are lots of places you could go astray. Also, depending on the MSP version, some of the leveling options seem to behave like preferences rather than hard and fast rules....

Hi Joshua,
