Does AutoCAD LT have a function similar to what was Napkin Sketch or are there any other plug in’s/app’s that produce something similar?

 

I’m drawing up some plans and elevations and would like them to have that sketch/artistic flare.

No LT has nothing like that. You'll need full AutoCAD for what you want to do

Visual styles are one of the features missing from the LT version of Autocad, but the free viewer Trueview will let you use the viewstyles and print them, you just cannot save results back into your dwg file.

Addition: As a workaround, you can (have) create templates with the full version
and use them.

You need multiple sample because you can not adjust the skectch settings in LT.

 

See my sample file, you can import the Layout to your file

or as quick test: Draw some lines in my file.
