Indeed, it's hard to offer any specific help without further detail, but I can say this much: Don't expect booleans to always work in 3DS. Often, not matter what you do to the mesh, they will not succeed. You're at least on the right track by making lofts more and less complex and trying varying desgrees of tesselation. You should also try moving the meshes around by slight degress, using modify/edge/divide on long, narrow faces that intersect verticies on the other mesh, and using "optimize" IPAS if you have it. Good luck. Perhaps there are others who can give you more specific tricks with more specific info from you. But, as I said,often booleans just won't work without a small miracle.
